At least 15 Black bar owners across Pittsburgh and Allegheny County have gathered to create a unified plan to prevent violence in their establishments and protect their businesses. The plan includes creating consistent zero-tolerance policies and posting the same rules outside each business. The goal is to improve safety without harming business. Co-owners Sameera Burton and Mike Reid, owner of Eon Bar and Grill in Homestead, both agreed after the latest shooting outside Club Elegance in Braddock on April 18, 2026. They believe a shared system could help stop violence across the board.
