Lefty's

Wanted to catch last Sunday's 1:00pm games at a bar that served food prior to heading out for our Jets tailgate, but they all had lines out the door, so we settled on just getting drinks at this dive bar along the strip.Was standing room only when we walked in, but we snagged a couple of stools at the bar in short order.Bartendress was no nonsense and efficient. Our vodkas and sodas were strong. Cash only.The bartendress even told a patron to leave because he couldn't come up with cash for his shot. Took the shot back right out of his hand before he could drink it and threw it down the sink. Impressive.And the Men's Restroom artwork reminded me of the long defunct CBGB's in Manhattan. Ended up getting some Chinese food from the food stand in the alleyway down the block after leaving.......

One of the most authentic old school Pittsburgh natives and Steelers bars on the strip! The drinks are cheap, strong....and the bar is full of good vibes and great people. Not to mention, they offer semi-strong long islands for $4 all day, It's sort of a premixed concoction that's just okay in my opinion. Nothing to rave about...but enough to lure you in for price and continue to get you in for more libation. lolLefty's is a nice and fun hangout spot for friends for sure.and a great way to get into the mix of Pittsburgh natives (people from the surrounding area). The bar is a pretty narrow space and gets packed pretty quickly, but it is a great space to watch sports and chat with people. There is not a lot of seating space as the space is relatively small, but it is still comfortable while standing. Although crowded, the bartenders are quick and efficient with drink orders. If only they sold food, this spot would be perfect. However, there are several shops and restaurants along the strip to grab a bite to eat. In all, cool little dive bar in the heart of the Strip District of Pittsburgh. Also a great vibe and place to meet up with friends for a few drinks or a pit stop while site seeing the downtown area. Stop by, get in and fit into the vibe of this place. It's fun and good times.

I used to think it was a fun place until I went on a random Tuesday night and wow the people there were rude and acted like they were in a strip club. It's a dive, plastic cups but good bartenders. The crowd not friendly especially women toward other women.

First time in Pittsburgh. Had a blast. Good vibes and good drinks. Didn't have trouble finding parking either.

If you like seedy, dark, hole in the wall dive bars then this is the place to go!!! Cheap drinks, awesome bartenders, loud music from the jukebox, and live music from 1pm - 4pm...it was great!!!! They have a small (packed) bar but a handful of tables in the back. They also have a few tables setup in front. We didn't stay long, but had a great time while we were there.

Pretty proud of their 4.5 stars but don't follow their house rules.....bartender specifically said he plays rap and hip hop to keep out the "Old People" who are probably the ones actually tipping..$$$ but that's ok the problem was when he cancelled our songs on the AMI Juke box.....never tasted the food but I'm sad that a good dive bar like this in the strip district can be run so poorly...Sign says no Vaping but clearly that's not the case and if you want to blow it in another patrons face even better....ill find another bar in the strip district...

Loved lefty's!!!! It was too busy when I went during the day. They had bumpin music so it really got me in the mood to have fun. The drinks are also insanely cheap. I love to vibe in general. It seemed like everyone was your friend even if they didn't know you. As it got closer to the Steelers game, it got so much busier. It was a lot of fun! Only downside was that when the older crowd showed up, they starting playing much older music which kind of killed the vibe for everyone else. I will definitely go back!

A great spot for drink specials with friends. Reminded me of a college dive bar for the townies to watch all the sports games. Very friendly staff too.

Best dive bar ever! My boyfriend and I walked by this place and stopped in for what we thought would be a quick drink. We ended up staying for several because we enjoyed ourselves so much.Our bartender was friendly and provided fast service. She knew how to make a good drink. I ordered my usual which is greygoose and cranberry. I was surprised to find out it was only $5, that never happens anywhere. SCORE!The bar is definitely on the dive side which is what makes it so great. Everyone there was friendly and just out to have a good time. We met some really great people there. We'll definitely be back!

Luv a dive bar. We had a great time at Lefty's. Wonderful vibe and luvy locals. Highly recommend. Sean was wonderful!
