| - Jack's is a integral staple of Pittsburgh and the historic Southside. How can you not love this Bar.
As a former Carson Street resident, Happy Hour goer, Dater of Barpeople and Eternal drinking Tourguide, Jack's is always a favorite and a keeper of fantastic bonding memories.
Located at the End of Carson on 12th street this dive/biker/yinzer Bar immediately stands out with it's 70s style Neon Light Glass Tile exterior and spraypainted walls. With the bold statement of "Best Bar in Pittsburgh" you cannot help but test it for yourself.
First of all I must say that this bar is open from 7am to 2am everyday. This allows for a huge variety of patrons, from the overnight nursing staff from the Hospital, to the local alcoholics that start drinking at 11am, to liquid lunch professionals, college students, professional who still believe they are in college etc.
There is a front Bar which has a long fully stocked bar and 3 or 4 standing tables. There are two entrances that are open at different times throughout the day exiting out to the sidestreet. Through the narrow passage way there is the back bar which opens in the evening and on Saturdays, with 2 pool tables, a juke box and a Dart board and a second back entrance. [this is where I usually hang out]. A doorman will be checking IDs in the front and at both doors on St. Patty's Day.
The entire Bar is cash only but fear not there's an ATM, also the drinks are cheap so not a huge tug on your wallet. The drinks are strong and people are characters. It's a smoking bar with a minimal menu if any. I personally have been scared to eat anything or quite frankly never thought to. That's not what I come to Jacks for.
You come to Jack's for:
1. Scoping out the Bartender your best friend hookup up with to make sure they aren't a Manw**re [he is] and progress to meet some of the best people in your life [his friends] and prevent your roommate accidentally from making out with her cousin [that almost happened]
2. Invent the game shirts or shots after the premier of Magic Mike [winners game]
3. Waste the remaining per diems that your company gave the India Trading Team visiting Pittsburgh
4. Force your new First year MBAs to try the best drop shots ever [BATMAN'S!!!!!! - tastes like a root beer float]; or your socially awkward coworkers they are the same people
5. Have your NJ friend flirt tirelessly with Beverly the Bartender
6. Find one or two Pretty Boys to hook up with
7. Sing Living on a Prayer at the top of your lungs
8. And so many more shenanigans.
9. Can I repeat BATMANS
That was a snapshot. It will be hard to find a soul who does not have their own version of this amazing bar. So if there are any places that are a need to try. This is one of them!
