Corner Cafe

This bar is not preppy, yuppy, upscale, or trendy. It is not going to serve you fancy micro-beers, or have hundreds of beer taps. This is a good neighborhood bar with friendly people and a fun (though entirely irreverent and adult focused) comedy night.Don't be fooled - the Corner Cafe may sit between Monastery Avenue, Monastery Place and 18th Street - but you won't find many saints there. In fact, if you are easily offended by dirty jokes - especially targeted at the crowd, don't bother.I, on the other hand, do not get offended. I like a touch of Americana with my beer once in awhile. I like knowing I can go somewhere and not have to be dressed to the nines to get bar service. Pros:-Good old Pittsburgh neighborhood Bar-Entertaining manager-Welcoming crowd-Attracts a variety of age ranges, though I would say the average was 30+ for a Monday night.-comedy night!Cons:-Be ready to wash the smoke off your face-Ladies may want a friend to escort to their car, on street parking only

This is a dive bar but with a pool table. It is close to the Monastery so makes for an OK spot to stop for a snack or soft drink before a meeting or event at the monastery. Have not played pool there yet but may try in the future as this is a unique feature of the cafe.

This bar is amazing. I've never felt more of the Pittsburgh spirit than when I'm sitting at the bar during a game. The bartenders are always friendly, helpful & in good spirits. I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a casual & generally quiet neighborhood dive bar. Smoking is permitted in the bar, they also have comedy nights on Fridays! Drinks are reasonably cheap & always delicious! They have a decent spectrum of craft beer options (bottled) as well as take-out if you're on-the-go.

Great place to watch the game. Might not be the most upscale place but the people are friendly. They have specials during games and happy hour. I think it's a great bar.

This place is just the type of bar we have been looking for. Bar tender was great, I think her name was Lindsay. The drinks were cheap enough but good. They have specials on during games. This bar has definitely made a couple of more patrons.
