Someone was telling me about a place(I think its a bar) called the Cotton Club somewhere here in Pittsburgh. Anybody know where it is? Has anyone even heard of it?

It appears to be (or was) an afterhours club in the Hill.

1 killed in fight outside Hill District club - Pittsburgh Tribune-Review

Looks...intriguing.

Actually, in the 1980s there was nightclub called Cotton Club on 6th Street Downtown. It was located in the current location of the Marriot Renaissance lobby in the old Fulton Building. Prior to it being the Cotton Club, it was a famous club called Heaven, which was the place to see and be seen in the early to mid 80s. There was a very famous club in New York City in the 1920s and 1930s called Cotton Club. It was in Harlem. The entertainment and workers were black, but the clientele was white. It was owned by the mob. Not to gett off of subject.

The Cotton Club is located on the Hill (Webster Ave to be exact) it is no longer a bar or even an after hour place. You are about 15 years too late
