Mario's East Side Saloon

Bartender's are friendly. Great food! 2nd flr roof deck has a nice relaxing atmosphere.

Great bar. Daily discounts on different drinks is great (Saturday is blue moon for two dollars). Would recommend as a place to go drinking. If you're looking for a quiet place to talk this isn't it

First off!!! Let's start with ALL the young ladies these serve! They are ALL GORGEOUS!!! Lol... Secondly, ALL THE FOOD is ???????????? Everything I've had is very good. To finish it off... The price is RIGHT! Great place for a FINE dine! You'll enjoy!
I do EVERYTIME I go for lunch!

We enjoy coming here. Normally, we visit for the happy hour, which is 5 to 7 Monday through Friday! The happy hour can make any finicky drinker happy. The food is great, and they have a great happy hour menu. The bartenders are friendly and efficient! Every day, a certain beer is on special. A must visit, if in the Southside and you want a good feel of Pittsburgh!

I often end up going here because other friends want to go. I'm not really sure why though. The music (or sound for games) is always really loud, such that it is nearly impossible to carry on a conversation with anyone... and there isn't really a dance floor to justify such loud music.
Generally their food is solid bar food, however tonight I ordered a pesto pizza, and it was one of the most oily pizzas I've ever had... definitely an anti-recommendation for the pesto pizza.
I like that they have a dart board, and reasonable drink/food specials.
The upstairs "porch" area would be cool if it weren't a smoking area.
There is a large amount of bike parking right out front which is really nice.

Update: Super irritating that upstairs, they only serve draft beer in plastic cups. They claim that it is a safety thing due the balcony. I call BS because they serve in glass bottles side by side.
