Last Call For Revered Pittsburgh Tavern

HOMESTEAD, PA — An era is ending in the Pittsburgh bar and restaurant scene. Blue Dust, a staple on Amity Street across the railroad tracks from The Waterfront for nearly 15 years, is shutting its doors.

The impending closure was announced on the bar's Facebook page.

"It is with a heavy heart to make this announcement. Sunday Sept. 17th will be the last day Blue Dust will be open," a post stated. "Thank you for all of the years of support. Please stop in and support our staff in our final days of being open."

Known for its extensive craft beer selections and eclectic menu, the gastropub drew people from all over the city. From the bar, patrons could look out of a window and see trains regularly passing by just feet away from the building.

The bar also sponsored occasional block party-type events under the nearby Homestead Grays Bridge.

There is as yet no word on what might go into the Blue Dust location.
