Bar 11 — Restaurant in Pittsburgh

The only good thing about the place is the environment it creates. Definitely a party bar, but do not expect to get waited on, especially if you are a male. On three different occasions, my friend and I (both males) we're waiting on drinks. Beside us on two of these occasions was a man and woman couple, the other side was two women. The bartender who was more interested in making creepy perverted comments over the loud speaker, and also trying to play drums, than making drinks and taking orders, was on our side of the bar. He came over, got the two women beside me and also the man's wife's order, but never took ours or the husband. The third time, he took my order, acknowledged it, and never brought it. Eventually we got fed up and left. Too bad the service was not as good...

There will never, ever be a more bizarre, wild place than Bar 11. It's a dive bar, it's a nightclub, it's a frat party, it's shotgunning beers from the mystery vending machine and drawing on your friends faces with a highlighter. They give out party favors like candy necklaces and confetti poppers and wrap you in aluminum foil. There are foam cannons. The drinks are potent. SNL used to run a skit where Stefon (Bill Hader) would talk about the hottest, weirdest clubs in New York City and Bar 11 could absolutely be among that crowd. I love it and I'll never be able to fully sell it in this review. Go check it out...

Best dive bar ever. It looks nondescript from the outside. Once you get in, it's an experience. Since all the Oakland college nightlife is gone, they all come to the Southside to blow off steam. There are a few old guys like me who show up once in a while with a date to show her how awesome this place is. The bartenders hand out party favors and noisemakers, beat the drums hanging from the ceiling, light the bar on fire. If you need to go to the bathroom, you're going to have to walk through a human forest of people who can't budge....
