The South Side sits across the Monongahela from Downtown and is known for its bars and nightlife. It suits brand nights, bar takeovers and parties where a press behind the rail becomes the evening's entertainment, with each shirt pulled in about two minutes.
Night work in a bar changes the plan. Rooms are narrow, so the line needs a route that keeps the door and the bar clear, and load-in often has to happen before the venue opens. A hat bar or a single DTF station fits where a full press line won't.
Stations that fit a South Side night
- Live screen printing for one bold design in a packed bar.
- Live DTF for full-color art or names at a brand night.
- Live hat bar as the easiest station to fit into a tight room.
- Promo & hard goods for drinkware at a sponsor night.
North of the Monongahela, Oakland and the North Shore are on our map as well, along with the Strip District and Downtown & Convention Center.
Each station needs about 10×10 ft and two dedicated 120V/20A circuits. Bars often share circuits with coolers, so we check before we plug in.
Late nights are fine. We plan the strike around closing time so the bar can reset.
