Valentine’s Day can get a bad rap. But in times like these, we should look for every opportunity to celebrate and share love.

That’s why this Valentine’s Day, we’re hosting our first-ever Valentine’s Day dinner and introducing a new way to dine at 5801: a curated dinner experience, served a little differently, and designed to be enjoyed however you celebrate love.

Come with a partner, a group of friends, or just yourself. Expect thoughtful dishes, good company, and no expectations.

See what Chef Lou and the team have created and experience something new and celebrate love your way.

Stay tuned & save the date: 2.14.26
Tickets go on sale soon.

Hey gang! We wanted to take a moment to introduce one of our newest team members, Chef Louis Henderson.

Chef Lou joined us in October and has been working hard to learn the ins and outs of how we do things here at 5801. He brings more than 40 years of experience in the culinary industry, with a background spanning high-volume restaurants and breweries, hospitals, and fine dining. A native Pittsburgher and veteran, Lou is also the youngest of twenty children and a published author with two books to his name.

As he’s settled into the kitchen, Chef Lou has been excited to bring fresh ideas to the table. You may have already noticed some more elevated dishes popping up at brunch, with even more to come. He’s also helping us explore new dining experiences, starting with our first Valentine’s Day dinner (More details coming soon).

As one of the few openly LGBTQ+ restaurants in Pittsburgh, we’re excited to continue evolving our kitchen in ways that best serve our customers and community.

Today's Turn-A-Bout Brunch absolutely delivered. Big performances, nonstop laughs, surprise moments, plenty of mimosas, great food, and a room full of energy from start to finish. Huge love to our fearless brunch staff Larry, Eddie, and Joey, who came out from behind the bar to fully own the stage, (with a little help from the pros Dixie Surewood, Chi Chi DeVivre, Calipso, and Savannah Ray)

Thank you to everyone who came out and helped make today such a blast, and for supporting our friends at the Hugh Lane Wellness Foundation. This one will be hard to top.

This Saturday, our friends Hugh Lane Wellness Foundation are hosting an emergency food drive to help ensure that those most in need have access to food and essential resources as government funding for these programs continues to decline. You can help by donating items from their list of requested goods to help stuff two Jeeps full! If you can’t make it to the Hugh Lane Wellness location on Brighton Rd. in the North Side, we will serve as an additional drop-off site for donations.

As a thank-you, we’ll be offering a 10% discount between 2–8pm on Saturday (Nov 1) to anyone who donates.
