One of the most authentic old school Pittsburgh natives and Steelers bars on the strip! The drinks…read moreare 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. lol Lefty'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.

Found this place during the NFL draft! Dive bar, good drinks and very economical. Service is cool…read more After a certain time they card and do a safety check. Thursday was a mixed crowd, good music, and you can order food near by and bring it in. Friday evening, came the regulars. Which means those who don't prefer out of towners. So I'm good on Lefty's on Friday night. I need good energy around me always. TV's with the games, upstairs and downstairs seating area. Small patio. If you go, go early, when the old heads are there.

Wow I love this little gem! I have driven past this place more times than I can count but I never…read morewent in because it looked closed and I assumed it was going to be a little dumpy. Well never judge a book by its cover! Yes it's dive, yes you can smoke inside, and yes it's cash only, BUT it's unlikely any other watering hole I've ever been in. The tv's don't play sports; they play movies. When I walked in they were having a star wars marathon! And they have an old school duckpin bowling lane in the back. I'm talking the real deal before all the trendy lanes have come up. The crowd is great too. I've been to other smoking dives around Pittsburgh and I've never been to one like this. Closed on Sunday's but stop by any other day of the week for cheap drinks and good vibes!

She was on top of everything, keeping our drinks full, checking in at just the right moments, and making us feel truly welcome. Service like that is rare! I had a little bit of everything breakfast wise, and it was all phenomenal, hearty portions, great prices, and full of flavor. Plus, we even got to sit in Mr. McFeely's legendary seat! I do have to go back and try the Reuben because I saw a number of people eating it and it looked really good. Some diners are slipping, but not Joe's Rusty Nail! If you want great food, great vibes and amazing service, go see Bonnie at ajoes crusty Nail, you won't regret it!

This is an old school restaurant in north side area. The bar is still smoking which kind of stinks…read moreif you don't smoke, but the food is totally worth it. Monday is wing night and I personally think it's the best wing joint in PGH. Last night I got the buffalo parm and pizza pepperoni wings. The service is Cheryl, who remembers just about everyone in the place. She's always a good time and makes you feel welcome. It's definitely worth the experience-- all the food is good, not just the wings!

I should have known better than to walk into the place.

I had been ther since I moved away from Pittsburgh back in 2011. I definitely will never go back. I know things change. But it went from a nice neighborhood family restaurant To a dumpy dive bar.

Lots of people in the bar who know each other but were open to conversation with us newbies. They do have happy hour, and TVs would be a good spot to grab a cold one and watch the game!

The green Miller Lite was exactly as advertised and the $10 breakfast buffet of eggs, sausage gravy & biscuits, fruit, and hashbrowns was also as expected. Definitely worth a stop in!
