Any fun to be had in Pittsburgh?

Headed up to Pittsburgh tomorrow for work. Have tickets to the Penguins game, but need something fun to do afterward.

Thanks for your help, and here is your pic...

when I visited my gf, she took me to station square and we rode one of the cable cars up the mountain (you'll know it when you see it.) I think it's called the Mt. Washington something or other. Anyways, the view from up top is pretty incredible.

Yeah, check out Mt. Washington.

Is there beer on Mt. Washington? I should have included that in my initial post. I plan on getting heavily intoxicated, so late night hot spots are more what I am after I guess.

I can't imagine much more boring then Pittsburgh on a Thursday. You got about the only ticket in town with the pens game, and that ain't much of a show right now.

There ain't much to see, but if you are in for a nice dinner, we like the Georgetown Inn on Mt. Washington (ask for a window seat or it's not even worth it.)

What kind of stuff do you typically enjoy doing? There are about 4 or 5 major areas in the city...

Station Sqaure - small mall, lots of resteraunts, boats.
Strip - Few clubs/bars, not nearly as cool as it used to be
Soutside - BARS and lots of 'em
Waterfront - Lots of chain resteraunts and bars, stores, movie theatre

Southside, if you are over 25, if you aren't, maybe Oakland, large college age crowd. (Pitt, CMU, etc)

I am married with 2 kids and on a debt-reduction budget, so right now I don't enjoy a whole lot. While this is business, and Pittsburgh, and Thursday, it is the closest I am going to come to a vacation for some time. And it's expensed. And I can sleep in on Friday.

So I need to go and cram several months of fun into one night. My boss is going with me, and he is of the same mindset. I am also trying to get a promotion, so taking him to someplace cool would be in my better interest.

I prescribe dinner on mount washington and heavy drinking on the southside, they are not far from each other at all).
