New open-air bar set for Pirates games at PNC Park
Share with others:
The Pirates will open a new open-air bar and lounge in the right field corner of PNC Park this season as part of a multi-year sponsorship deal with Anheuser-Busch.
Budweiser Bowtie Bar, which will be located on the main concourse level just left of the right field grandstands, will be available to all ticket holders and should be ready by opening day on April 5. It will be the first new bar or restaurant at the ballpark since the Hall of Fame Club replaced Outback Steakhouse in 2008.
From the new space, fans will be able to watch the action on the field or take in the views of the Downtown skyline and the Allegheny River.
The U-shaped bar will be the only full-service bar on the main concourse. It will offer select food items as well as beer, wine and liquor. The Pirates, Anheuser-Busch and concessionaire Aramark will fund the improvements, which will cost up to $1 million.
The Pirates did not disclose the terms of what the team called an "enhanced" three-year sponsorship extension. Anheuser-Busch has been a sponsor at PNC Park since the ballpark opened in 2001.
