Today, as it has since 1930, our Club represents an uncompromising standard of value and service for Pittsburgh's professional men and women. The Club promotes and reflects the region's growth and prosperity. The Club serves and partners with members of all backgrounds and college affiliations to broaden their individual professions, nurture their social success, and promote their intellectual well-being.

The Allegheny HYP Club

Originally established in 1930, The Allegheny HYP Club is the cumulative merger of three premier clubs that helped shape Pittsburgh: The Harvard Yale Princeton Club, The Pittsburgh Club (merged 1997), and The Allegheny Club (merged 2002). For over 85 years, the Club's members who include leaders of business, law, finance, education, government, medicine, and the arts, have cherished the Club due to the personal attention and exceptional service they receive.

The Courtyard

Entrance to the Club and courtyard is through a large ornamental wrought-iron gate. Materials salvaged from demolished buildings formerly at the three universities decorate the garden space. The end wall has columns on each side rescued from Appleton Chapel at Harvard when it was demolished in 1931. The fountain and back wall are comprised of stones from the old Yale Library and the Princeton science building, torn down about the same time. Over the back wall peeks the rose stained glass window from the Smithfield United Church. Cleveland graystone paves the courtyard and was a gift from Thomas Watson (Yale), President of the Club in 1935. During the warmer months, the space is perfect for small receptions or cocktail parties.

The Main Dining Room

Located on the second floor, the Main Dining Room is reminiscent of an old English Inn with its plank wooden floor and knotty pine paneled walls. Prominently painted on the walls to look like engraving, are the names of the Club’s founders and past presidents of Harvard, Yale and Princeton. Other walls contain the names of the presidents of the United States, members of the Constitutional Convention and signers of the Declaration of Independence who attended the three universities. As a tribute to the schools, the color scheme is crimson, blue and orange, including the cloth napkins on the tables. Servers know not to give a Harvard man a blue napkin. An open, built-in hutch at the end of the room displays limited edition Wedgwood china commemorating each university.

The Library

This third floor room provides an excellent ambiance for a “residential setting.” Aptly named, two walls are lined with shelves filled with time-worn books and various alumni publications. The other walls are paneled with warm knotty pine. The navy and red striped curtains are lined with black-out fabric making the space perfect for presentations.
