  I love Yesterday's. LOVE IT!
  
  We really only ever make it here for karaoke, or pop in for a round after the St. Rosalia summer church festival, but every other Saturday night, Yesterday's transforms from a Yinzer Greenfield bar into a magical karaoke experiment that should go wrong - but always goes right.
  
  Yinzers. Retired millworkers. Cute Yinzer daughters of millworkers. Someone you vaguely remember from high school. A guy in a business suit who is playing some fierce air key-tar. Those karaoke nerds from St. James Place (okay, that one is us). A well-put-together 40something lady who surprises you when she belts out an 80s song. A bunch of bros who, it turns out, really like 90s rap songs and Miller Lite. Two guys starting an arm-wrestling contest at the bar.
  
  You will meet all of these characters and more on a karaoke Saturday at Yesterday's. And while it seems like somewhere in this mix, something will go awry, what happens instead is an incredible party atmosphere with impromptu duets, a packed dance floor, dozens of toasts, shout outs to Pittsburgh sports, and people from every walk of Yinzer life coming together to drink, sing, and tear Greenfield down until 1:30am.
  
  DJ Mike (of PartyOn Entertainment) may not have the best karaoke system out there, but he packs a decent selection of songs and does a good job keeping the singers rolling through.
  
  I can't remember a time we've been here that wasn't a blast.
  
  Drinks are cheap (less than $3 apiece for well drinks), the bartenders are friendly, and even though they're cash only, there's a bank just next door and an ATM on the premises. And if you're like us and fortunate enough to live in the Squirrel Hill/Greenfield area, you're just a short walk away from home after last call.
  
  Karaoke runs every other Saturday night from 10pm until 1:30am (since Yesterday's itself doesn't have a website, details about their KJ and karaoke can be found here: <a href="/redir?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fpages%2FParty-On-Entertainment%2F146273945406488&s=a195d2be28413c5c722885c4b84958266fc5ddbb0eea8cda1ddc8d83af3fdc72" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.facebook.com…</a>).
  
  So whether you're in the mood for a Bon Jovi singalong or busting out your best Axl Rose impression, Yesterday's is the spot every other Saturday night!

  Smoky but surprisingly not divey -- I like to think of it as the poor, well-scrubbed step-sister of Silky's. (Just roll with me.)
  
  The drinks are cheap and strong, and the locals are friendly. It's the kind of place where families go, along with Bachelorette Party girls, along with Greenfield bro-types, along with retired millworkers. Lots of Nice Drunks who give freely the handshakes and the "Eyyyyyy!"
  
  Their karaoke night, every other Saturday, is a bunch of fun due to the melting-pot nature of the clientele, where Right Said Fred rubs up against 50s boogie-woogie. The only downside to karaoke night is that the kitchen closes early because of it.
