The Firehouse is decent when not overly crowded.  The staff is usually fast and courteous and deals with the large and sometimes obnoxious crowd in an efficient manner.\n\nI primarily enjoyed going to Firehouse as Saturday nights become one of longest running weeklies in Pittsburgh for quality house music.  7up and Elysium built a great crowd with a strong following that is/was the envy of other DJs in the city.\n\nHowever, Firehouse completely bunted that a few months ago and now Steel City Funk is no longer there, having moved to another venue and left the music in the hands of the DJ Strobe.  I've long struggled to find an appropriate metaphor for Strobe's style.  I've heard him on several occasions on Friday's at Olive or Twist and could never really get into his sets as usually they were too mainstream and sometimes on the verge of cheesy.  A commenter on another site said it best, perhaps, \"It sounds like he just put in the CD 'Now that's what I Call Dance'\".\n\nIndeed.  Congratulations to Firehouse for allowing a unique weekly musical experience to become like every other club in Pittsburgh.
