Kopy’s

This is your typical South Side off-​Carson dive bar. My cousin is a regular and decided to have some us meet her here for some drinks.
The crowd is mixed: from younger to older to bikers to people like me. Décor is what you’d expect and drinks are way cheap. I paid $ 2 or $ 3 for a cocktail. Staff was friendly as well.
Definitely refreshing going somewhere like this rather than getting violated on Carson Street. I don’t go out to South Side that often, but if I want a comfortable atmosphere and cheap drinks– this is a must!

Standard dive bar in the Southside. Front of the place is a standing bar, back of the place has a pool table. Off the main drag of Carson Street so you don’t have crazy crowds. Serves your standard beers, nothing special. Good to hang out in in groups.

I went to Kopy’s late Saturday afternoon, while visiting friends in Pittsburgh. The guys used to frequent Kopy’s when they lived in Southside, so they wanted to stop in for little nostalgic rendezvous. I was told «this is the only place I can get a Guinness for under $ 5». He must have been right because his Guinness and my Sierra Nevada totaled $ 7.50 — Not bad.
Kopy’s has a pool table, dart board, juke box and some other weird game. They have a few high top tables and about 12 bar stools. It was pretty dead when we were there, but I imagine they might draw more of a crowd at night.
The only major downside for me about Kopy’s was the cigarette smoke. I am all for hanging at dive bars (when I am with the right crowd), but I hate being in establishments that allow smoking. So gross.
