I have no clue, but are you talking about Chrome across the street from the Beef Jerkey store?

It used to be a dumpy ass biker bar back in the day and there's be motorcycles park all over the front. And now it's the place where the woman in the motorized wheelchair hangs out, asking for money. There's literally nothing behind it now. Just a empty lot. It's a pretty small parcel.

Earliest I can find on google maps is 2007 -- it was boarded up back then. I think the bar was there until 2005-ish.

here's more info. Used to be called the Voodoo Lounge. In 2002 the owner, John Wargo, said he was losing money on the bar and petitioned to change it into a strip club. It was approved by some zoning board, but I don't think the club ever opened.

PG Article from 2002 about the strip club vote

Trib article from 2003 saying that the strip club may have opened -- but maybe not

John Wargo's Obit from 2013

another obit with more info

Also saw that at some point 2 years before he died (of esophageal cancer) he came back to pittsburgh (he said his business was in miami now) and bought a 5000 sq foot home on Washington's Landing...
