Pittsburgh’s first women’s sports watch bar, Title 9, to open in February
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — Pittsburgh is getting its first women’s sports bar next month.
Title 9 says it plans to open in East Liberty in February, airing exclusively women’s sports. The concept was developed by Sheree Goldstein, who will open the bar in the adjacent space next to her other business, Square Cafe, on Centre Avenue.
“I am passionate about women’s sports and it’s been so amazing over the past few years to see these incredible athletes finally getting the viewership they deserve,” Goldstein said in a news release. “We want to do what we can to grow here in our hometown and also support and connect with our collegiate and professional players in Pittsburgh. The goal is to make this not only a place to watch women’s sports but to convene and grow the community.”
Title 9 will serve cocktails and mocktails and highlight local brewers. The menu will have snacks and handhelds with vegan and vegetarian options.
“Some Square Cafe crossovers will be present in the food and beverage program for sure,” Goldstein said. “There are some really popular snacks, like our tots, and handhelds like our wraps and veggie burgers that are sure to make an appearance. We’re also going to be doing some fun twists on bar food, as well.”
The establishment has plans for a full bar, eight TVs, garage windows and a rooftop bar.
Title 9 says it will be hosting a series of pop-ups ahead of its official grand opening, which is projected for mid-February.
Pittsburgh Regional Transit has started to install its ReadyFare vending machines as the agency prepares to roll out its new fare payment system.
PRT said it’s working to roll out its new ReadyFare system and has started to install the new machine at some of its light-rail stations.
The new machines recently were installed at PRT’s Gateway station in Downtown Pittsburgh.
PRT said that as it prepares to roll out the new system, current ConnectCard holders will receive a card in the mail with instructions on how to request a ReadyFare card.
The new ReadyFare cards will be able to be purchased at the new machines for $1.
PRT said that riders will be able to transfer any balances they have on a ConnectCard to the new ReadyFare cards using an online balance transfer form.

About 5 pounds of bees removed from Acrisure Stadium scaffolding ahead of Morgan Wallen concerts
Acrisure Stadium is buzzing with excitement ahead of the back-to-back Morgan Wallen concerts. Except it’s not the fans generating all the excitement — it’s about 5 pounds of honeybees.
The Fine Family Apiary in Monongahela said it was contacted on Wednesday about a swarm of bees clustered on the stage scaffolding. The apiary put the swarm in a “nuc box” and took them home before moving the bees into full-size equipment.
Owner Al Fine estimates the swarm weighed about 4 to 5 pounds and consisted of 12,000 to 15,000 bees. All said, it took less than two hours to get the job done.
Why do bees swarm?
Swarming is how honeybees propagate, Fine explained. According to Penn State Extension, during swarming, the queen and about half the workers leave their home to establish a new nest. The bees will form a temporary cluster, hanging out while scouts search the surrounding area for a more permanent home in hollow spaces like tree cavities or, occasionally, the walls of a home.
Swarms can stick around for several hours or days until they’re ready to move, Penn State Extension says. Meanwhile, the colony left behind is temporarily without a leader until a new queen is established.
With the swarm at Acrisure Stadium removed, Morgan Wallen’s show is ready to go on. The country music megastar will bring his I’m The Problem Tour to Pittsburgh on June 5 and June 6, along with multiple acts like Brooks & Dunn and Ella Langley.
