Nothing but poetry love and a good pint - a reading series that's all about the work. Sign up available around 5:30. Reading starts around 6:00PM. This is a very relaxed reading circle - come when you can. We understand!
Cover poetry, new folx, first time readers encouraged. We know it's called Poetry & Pints, but all genres are welcome: short story, creative nonfiction, etc etc etc.

Free event - monthly and online
We hope to see you at Burgh’ers Brewing in Lawrenceville once we are COVID clear!

Poetry and Pints, and Pittsburgh Poetry Collective are committed to maintaining free speech within our venues by the construction and preservation of a Brave Space. We do this by allowing expression for everyone present in the space. This means you may hear: mature language, mature themes, difficult and/or triggering content on our microphone. In our Brave Spaces, free speech ends when other people are silenced. If by words or behaviour someone advocates violence, threatens, harasses, or in some other way silences someone else, that is not protected in this space. We discourage the use of gendered and binary language and enforce positive mandatory consent. All participants in Pittsburgh Poetry Collective events are held to behavior standards outlined in our values statement and release. We have a conflict resolution procedure in place. All of these policies are outlined on our website. For additional details, please visit: https://pghpoetry.org/get-up-on-stage-and-read-poetry/

Join us for an Open Mic & online hangout!! THERE IS SO MUCH WE DO NOT KNOW. We DO know how to have a show, we know racism is alive and well, we know the fight is not over, and we know that holding this space for our creative community has been helpful for some. So, we're doing our best trying to mitigate risk as we go.
Social distancing is an act of solidarity with and for at-risk populations. Please follow public health recommendations as much as you are able.
