The Pit is located on near the corner of Roberts Road and 95th St. The outside of the building is lit up with neon which is supposed to resemble a 1960’s road house on Route 66. There are parking lots on either side of the building and even on a Tuesday night, they were pretty full. We found a spot to park (not near a light pole) and headed inside.
