WE LOVE 1311! This is our favorite bar in Southside and has a great casual feel! They have great pitcher specials, friendly staff and great vibes! If it's a Steeler Game, Saturday afternoon or even a Friday night this is our spot! Dive-ey feel and strong drinks - what's not to love! We love it so much we even had my fiancé surprise 30th party at 1311! Highly recommend!!!!!! read more

Would give zero stars if I could. When we were seated, a friend who was turning 25 this weekend was told his ID was fake despite the fact that it was a recently issued TSA APPROVED New Jersey ID. He also had his old ID that was set to expire this month, but the person waiting on us (who was the only one working) refused to check the other ID. The waiter chose to lose business from 8 people rather than correctly validating my friends ID. I will not be returning! read more

I absolutely love coming to 1311 - This bar is very high on my list of places in South Side I like to have a drink at, if not my favorite. This bar is unpretentious and unapologetic and everything I love in a bar. A little divey, strong drinks, friendly vibes and attentive bartenders. It doesn't get much better. The bartender always remembers my group of friends which doesn't happen at most bars on Carson. The $5 pitchers are my favorite and a must every visit. They have a jukebox you can play that everyone takes advantage of. This place isn't a dance club or anything like that, just a chill environment to relax, have fun and enjoy drinks with friends. read more

Overall this is a fun bar to go to in the south side. It's pretty neat looking in the inside. I've been here many of times. Jeff is sometimes in moods, but you just need the bartender to serve you and make a good drink. read more

Bad vibe. Empty. Bartender (Derk) is only friendly when he gets paid, but has a problem with getting you free water

I am not really sure what to say about this place because we were the only ones there. The bartender said that they usually don't get going until between nine and ten (or later), which was obvious. The bartender didn't really interact with us much, but was friendly when he did. The place was clean and I would see how it could be a fun late night spot once things got busier. Although we are not late night people, we would stop by to give it another try if we were out. read more

So I had got my two bars mixed up, but now I remember. THIS place, still had pumpkin beers in the cooler which I found slightly alarming considering it's probably 6 months old (We went on St. Patrick's Day) and that either means they aren't selling much beer, or they ordered too much... either way, that shiz is probably skunky lol throw it away and get with the times. Also this place was a smoking bar so it smelled. I ordered a special drink that they made in a bucket. I thought it was a bit watered down, but I didn't say anything. The girl behind me was very dissapointed because she had 2 of them and she said there was hardly any alchol in them. read more

One of the greatest bars south side has to offer. Good music and drink selection. Bartenders are always funny provide quick service. Highly recommend. read more

I don't think I ever came here without the sole intention of getting a buzz. Great specials, tv's, jukebox is always playing great jams. Gets a little crowded on the weekends, but hey, you already know that if you're crawling E. Carson on a Friday or Saturday night. read more

Kind of hit or miss. It can be a great place to belly up to the bar for cheap drinks and to catch a game. Or it can be rather ghetto. Usually the first one though! read more

Jeff is the best bartender ever so kind and he cares and he treats every guest with respect he is there for you no matter what. Man what a great guy I come in here not too often but always a great time. Thanks Jeff - Kri read more

Friendly staff and good weekday specials but this place is seriously as wide as most hallways. There are mirrors everywhere to make it seem bigger but all it does is make it so you can't avoid staring at yourself...which makes for an odd atmosphere. read more

Great place to go with friends and have a drink. Love coming to this bar when I'm in town. Fun atmopshere, great drinks made by some great bartenders! read more

There are so many bars to choose from when drinking on the South Side. 1311 has a pleasant, welcoming decor as well as fantastic big screens. My roommate and I had a great time going to watch a Pens game. It does get pretty full, but since I prefer to hit the bars earlier in the evening, it is less of a problem for me. Plus, I love the sign in their door saying that they think "smoking is sexy" read more

By far the best bar specials in Pittsburgh. 99 cent Coors light bottles all day on Sunday, 99 cent yuenglings all day on Tuesday just to name a few. Great service and decent TVs to watch sporting events. read more

Ckinda small so when its packed, theres not much room. Good rock musick. Great specials everyday. 5 dollar pitchers b hittn!

Awful service. Bartender male working on Sunday 11/12 was rude as hell. Wouldn't accept my ID and told me to get out. Immediately after exiting, I showed a police officer my ID and he said it was 100% valid. The cop called him an idiot. If you're going to bartend at least know neighboring state ID cards. read more

thirsty thursdays= $1 Miller Lights! they have great specials every day though.

1311 is the best bar in Pittsburgh. This, of course, is just an opinion of mine. I personally think good drinks and a fun atmosphere is the way to go when it comes to a bar. You absolutely cannot come in here and leave without making friends, or at very least having an amazing conversation. People watching is fun here, the cheap (strong) drinks bring in quite a interesting crowd. The music is good, it's diverse, so you don't get sick of hearing the same stuff over and over. They have a jukebox in the back if you care to take over DJing for a bit. They do have $5 pizzas. For those of you who enjoy craft beers, this is surely the place to be, as they have over 100 different kinds of crafts, and new ones in all the time that they post on https://www.facebook.com/pages/1311/304411390374?sk=timeline . If you've never had a craft, just ask any of the staff and they will be happy to explain them to you, and find one you're sure to enjoy based on your palate. They also have 8 big screen HD TVs, and a projector, for you to enjoy all sports games possible. I'll admit, I am pretty biased. I'm one of their doormen, my name is Paul. On that note I'll add that I don't get paid for this, and I don't make any sort of commission. I just noticed that there are no up to date reviews on this place, so I thought I could leave some information. If you ever have any questions about anything, you are always welcome to ask me. I hope to see you at our bar soon, and I hope you leave some reviews for me to read! I'll leave a list of our specials below. $5 Captain & Coke pitchers. or (depending on the day of the week) $5 Smirnoff Vodka pictures. Any flavor with any mixer you could imagine. There are 1,000's of possibilities. Some of the common favorites are Coke & Vanilla (vanilla coke), Blue Pitches are blueberry vodka with sprite and Blue Curaçao to add some color, and watermelon or strawberry vodka with cranberry juice. $3 Fireballs or MiniBeers. $4 Grape or Cherry Bombs. $5 Pints of homemade Sangria. (Tastes amazing.) $2.50 Coors Lite aluminum pints. They also have a few beer specials, but those change by the day, stop on by to see all of those. read more
