What People Are Saying About Jack Rose Bar

The Scene – The gaudy strips of neon beckon through the glass-block outer walls of Jack's Bar, calling to revelers like an oasis luring thirsty desert travelers to fresh water. Because of its location at one end of East Carson Street's bar district, it's become a must-stop for nearly every bar hopper on the South Side. – – The Vibe – While there's usually a line to get in on weekend nights, the true character (and characters) shines through on the off-nights. A modest selection of beer and honest helpings of grilled and fried food satisfy the needs of thick-necked…

Jack's is Jack's
by illyrias
I admit I avoid Jack's (and most of the South Side) on Friday and Saturday nights. During the week is the time to be on the South Side and Jack's is the epitome of hanging out on the South Side. Cheap beer, cheap specials and a casual crowd of friendly people make Jack's indispensable. They are my fall-back bar and I'm not ashamed to admit it.
- Pros: Cheap easy
- Cons: you will smell like smoke

Hit or Miss
by eje023
This place is Okay....at best. The service is GREAT. The drinks are cheap. But, the Jacks has the dumbest setup of any bar i've ever been to. The place is always crowded because it HAS to because it's so small. The ratio is usually 10 guys to every girl. Also, it seems like everybody there smokes....all at the same time. So, your clothes will smell like crap when you leave. There also happens to too many college "toughguys." However, I've had some really fun times here. So, I guess it's "hit or miss."
- Pros: Great Service, Cheap Drinks
- Cons: Toughguys, No Chicks

'burgh Bar all the way.
by scarletcherub
Jack's is the best! If you love a bar that will give you a taste of what Pittsburgh is really like definitely make an appearance. It is, however, not everyone's favorite spot. Some people are just made for the wall to wall chaos and some aren't. The best thing is definitely the bartenders. I enjoy the main bar but the real place to be is the backroom. cheap beer prices, friendly bartenders, and entertaining drunks. Now that's a 'burgh thing!
- Pros: prices, bartenders, variety
