Thursdays at 8PM: The Bingham Street Tamburtizans and other International Music

Gypsy Cafe welcomes The Bingham Street Tamburitzans, led by Jerry Grcevich, to entertain you at a special 8PM dinner seating just about every Thursday.

The BST are all Pittsburgh musicians with national and international standing. The orchestra's leader, Jerry Grcevich, showcases both seasoned and young musicians in his lineup, offering traditional and non-traditional Eastern European dinner music.

Traditional to cafe-style performances in Europe, the musicians stroll table to table and take requests. It is customary to tip the musicians, especially for playing requested songs.

Gypsy Cafe offers a special seating especially for dinner with the BST starting at 8PM. Reservations are necessary to guarantee you a seat; please plan to arrive close to your reservation time. If the number in your party changes, even last minute, please let us know. We are a small space and frequently have a waiting list for Thursday nights. Our kitchen closes at 11PM.

Please Note: We offer the event for our Dinner guests. A $10 cover may be charged to those not ordering dinner or the equivalent; please tip the musicians.


Wednesdays 5PM-9PM; Sundays 4-9PM: Tarot Readings by Rebecca

Gypsy Cafe welcomes Rebecca Bloom, offering Intuitive Tarot readings for our dinner guests by appointment.

Rebecca is a sincere, gifted Intuitive who offers Tarot card readings for insight and guidance. If you join us for a reading while you dine, you will leave your table to meet with Rebecca on our stage, a semi-private area in the restaurant. 15-minute readings are $20, 30-minute readings are $30. Although many guests prefer to offer an additional gratuity to Rebecca, this is not expected.

Readings with Rebecca are a popular choice for bachelorette parties and birthdays. If our schedules allow, we are happy to accomodate your group on a different evening. Please call to make arrangements.

Rebecca's appointments are frequently full a week or more in advance; larger groups should book as early as possible before you plan to visit. Please make an appointment for a reading when you make your dinner reservation.
