Reply to comment by PierogiPowered in Where are the cool bars to go to with blue collar/laborer attenders in Pittsburgh? by ariahi1

How? It sounds like a person trying to find a new hangout with people whom they feel like they share something in common

Look at the other replies. They're all stereotyping that blue collar people only go (can only afford?) to dive bars and greasy spoons.

Just curious... Have you been to any of the establishments mentioned here?

Yeah. I’ve been to a bunch of city of Pittsburgh dive bars. I wouldn’t classify any of them as blue collar.

As op clarified, unpretentious is a much better description.

To me, it reads a like an outsider who wants to surround themselves with blue collar folk for the "authentic Pittsburgh experience," but maybe I'm just cynical.
