  How many places exist with this atmosphere in Pittsburgh? None. Sandy sitting areas around countess fires pits, live DJ, dancing, and the overall tropical decor will entertain your group into the wee hours of the night. The drink menu is small, but gets the job done. The place gets packed on a Friday night, but not over crowded. There's a lot of space and it's a great energy.

  The specials were weak. Usually I don't like my drinks too strong, but these are weak. I would be back if others picked the place. Had a few appetizers. They were ok but small.

  It's cougar town there. Most in 40' and 50's. Always packed on weekends after 10pm. The Oxford parking lot gets filled. Got to get there before 10pm

  I love anything off the grill & the food was defin on point. Fell in love with the island scenery, me & the wife just relaxed by the fire pit & enjoyed the night. Will go back any change I get!

  I've been wanting to check this place out for a while b/c I've heard positive things about it.  It's completely out of the way for me, but I have a friend from the North Hills so we met up for dinner and then headed to Cabana bar afterwards.  It's been an athletic club and there's lots of parking, but it gets filled up quickly.  
  
  The place reminds me of Rock Jungle and the Boardwalk - I know I'm totally dating myself by saying that - but I say this in a good way.  It was a perfect night to go to a place like this - warm but not too sticky hot.  There are tables, swings, fire pits, bars, dance area, palm trees - and all outside.  There were so many people and I couldn't believe this many peeps were out in the burbs but it must be a popular spot for them NH folks.  
  
  There were a mix of ages - 20's, 30's, and 40's - I would say the night we went, most people were in their 30's.  The drinks were overpriced, but what can you expect in the burbs b/c this place is probably the only place to really go out.  
  
  All in all, I'm glad I went and if I wasn't feeling as tired as I was that night, I may have enjoyed it even more.  I'm not sure that I'll be back b/c it is quite a hike for me, but if you live in the area this is a great spot in the summer.

  Cool bar located behind the Oxford Athletic Club.  It was raining on the night that I went but it was still really fun.  The only compliant I have is that our margaritas were REALLY salty.  Aside from that, its was fun and I can't wait to go back.

  Pretty nice bar located behind Oxford Athletic Club in Wexford. My friend and I go there sometimes to grab a few beers because theres not may other 'young' bars in the area.
  
  The specials are so-so (its tough to compare when I'm used to a college town's specials) and its pretty much Cougar Central all the time. We sometimes see a few people we knew from high school, but like I said before, its usually filled with more middle-aged people.
  
  It would be a lot better if they could get more of a younger crowd in, but it may be just my fault that I'm not going late enough when more people my age would be going out. I'll have to go at a later time and update if I notice an age change past a certain time.
  
  But, the sandy spots they have are a pretty cool feature and they also have a few fire pits and some hanging hammock chairs that give you a feeling of being at the beach.
