Birthday Party Venues in Pittsburgh
Looking for a birthday party venue near Pittsburgh that is not another hotel ballroom or pizza place? The Bank on 8th is a private event space in a century-old bank building in Homestead, about ten minutes from downtown Pittsburgh. We host first birthdays, baby showers, kids’ parties, sweet sixteens, milestone birthdays and graduation parties.
A 4,000 square foot event floor
Our first floor is 4,000 square feet of open, versatile space — the original banking hall, with the marble, high ceilings and vault details still intact. It works equally well for a toddler’s first birthday with a dessert table or a sixtieth with a dance floor, and it photographs beautifully, which matters more than most venues admit.
More than one room, all under one roof
Because the whole building is ours, a birthday here does not have to stay in one room. Parties often start with food and cake on the main floor and then move upstairs.
- Main event floor — 4,000 sq ft of open space on the first floor.
- 5th floor penthouse — an expansive private room with its own axe throwing lanes and a fully stocked bar.
- Co-Sign Speakeasy — a prohibition-era cocktail bar on the 4th floor that doubles as an immersive escape room, with hidden rooms and secret doors. A popular choice for adult birthdays and engagement parties.
- Escape Room Pittsburgh — three themed escape rooms, good for teen birthdays and group outings.
- Ace Axe Throwing — coached axe throwing lanes on the first floor.
