Be Entertained on the South Side

If you're from Pittsburgh, you probably already know that some of the region's best restaurants are here in the South Side. But there's a whole lot more you need to know about hanging out in our vibrant city neighborhood.

Our “Great American Main Street,” East Carson, is renowned for its 15 blocks of historic Victorian architecture and is an endless source of entertainment. On and off Carson, you’ll find shops, restaurants, art galleries, theatre, and live music venues.

That's just our upscale and chic side. You can also get a tattoo, dye your hair purple, and drink a yard in the South Side – a combination that makes for some of the best people watching around!

Venture deeper into the neighborhood and you'll find that the South Side also has the best in recreation. Hike, bike, or blade our five-mile riverfront trail. Or climb more than 5,000 public steps that lead to impressive city views. There's so much to do, you'll have to stay overnight or move here.
