Great bartenders and great atmosphere. Very cheap drinks and a good beer selection. I've always had a good time in here and met some really cool people. They have karaoke and DJs on weekends. They have a pool table for when one of those isn't going on, and a dart board. It is a fairly small place, so it doesn't take too many people for it to get packed. read more

This place always has a dj in the evenings, there is a tiny dance floor and usually cheap drink specials. Generally I disliked this place, the blue moon I ordered seemed to be watered down and hence gross. They do offer it for 3$ everyday, all day. My friend said it might have been at the bottom of the keg, idk if bottom of the keg beer is generally sub-par but my drink was. I really hope my friends do not take me here again. read more

Favorite bar in Pittsburgh, hands down. Jekyll & Hyde is always a fun time and the decorations are awesome. If you love Halloween, this is the place for you. All the drinks have spooky names and are served with plastic fangs and witch fingers. There's a wide variety of 'evil drinks' and they are very creative and tasty. If you're looking for a place with chill people and not too expensive drinks, come to Jekyll & Hyde. The bartenders are super nice, even when it's packed on karaoke night (Thurs) and they are taking orders nonstop. The only downside is that's is a small place and can get crowded, but it's still amazing!! read more

Awful atmosphere, terrible music. Smelled like an ashtray. Bartender literally had the personality of Jekyl and Hyde. I do not recommend this bar. Plenty more fun bars available. read more

Good pool table nice price for craft drafts good waitstaff also, had only good experiences here .

Halloween everyday all year round. The drinks are weird concoctions, I tried one... not horrible. It's off the drag of carson, which is actually nice. The proprietors are good people. pretty down to earth. I agree with the others, not big into that Uncle Festers Shock game. Some d-bag's always playing it or making their gf play it and she'll scream and squirm... it's terrible. All in all though, nice little spot off carson read more

went here for the first time last night and had a BLAST. the bartender Sophia is super nice and she handled annoying customers super well! the atmosphere (Halloween themed) was awesome and the drinks were worth it. read more

Have always loved this bar but am in disbelief, male bartender refused to serve me after one beer because I argued about his refusal to let me use the men's (single) restroom, told me "I can do whatever I want" and told me that by law I had to use the women's restroom (not true, per Article 5, Section 651.4, and is discrimination). Complete douchebag who clearly got off on bossing a woman around, sad because the bar is otherwise great. Very disappointing read more

This was a total random find but we loved it! I would call this place a dive bar that decorates with tacky Halloween stuff, rather than full-out Halloween themed bar. When we visited they played a mix of dancey 90's and 2000's stuff, but to appease my group of friends, they also played Whitney Houston's "I want to dance with somebody" and I made a big production of dancing to it all by myself on the dance floor area. I'm from Michigan and you can't smoke in restaurants or bars anymore, so for nostalgia and also because I like a cig when I smoke, I bummed one off the cute bartender working on Saturday night. My hair had that stale smoke smell at the end of the night, which reminded me of being 23 again, also a bit of nostalgia for me. They serve super strong drinks with cheap Halloween toys in it. We wore all the spider rings all night like the classy ladies we are. The next morning I found fake plastic witch finger nails in my purse which made me laugh out loud. They had Tim Burdon movies playing on a TV that faced the street,. Tim Burton is always okay with me. read more

Oh Jekyll and Hyde! If you are looking for a new and creative bar to check out in south side.. I really recommend coming here. I had some of my best memories at this place with the help of good friends, great music and awesome mixed drinks! It's a smaller bar and can get crowded at times but it's worth giving it a shot. They have some really cool and DELICIOUS Halloween themed drinks.. My favorite being 'the zombie'. The best part about it is if you ordered one of their mixed drinks... You get vampire teeth or a spider ring along with it! The only downfall is if you aren't a fan of smelling like smoke after leaving... It can get pretty smokey in there! read more

This place is so much fun! Definitely one of my favorites in Southside. I'm not much for shoulder-to-shoulder crowds, and crowd-wise, this place has a happy medium between that, and a restaurant/bar combo. Fun atmosphere, definitely a cool idea. You can leave this place with some cash still left in your wallet, AND your dignity. So that's a win in my book. Lol read more

This bar is incredible, welcoming and worth your visit. It draws an eclectic crowd, plays great music, has great drink specials, and is a welcome change from the other bars scattered along south side. Dave, Liz, and Lauren are all amazing bartenders! read more

Halloween-themed drinks and a good craft beer selection. Jekyll is can be a nice change of pace from the regular shenanigans of Souf Side. Definitely a lot calmer than the Carson Street action. It's a good mix of hipsters, bros, and whoever else wanders in. It's not my favorite bar, but it's doable since my friends like it. P.S. The scariest part of the bar is bathroom. Hands down. read more

I have to agree with my esteemed girlfriend... Jekyl and Hyde is my favorite South Side bar. Not only do they have your usual Yuenglings and Miller Lights for cheap, but they also sport an interesting and unique variety of high gravity beers (including the delicious 14% ABV Samichlaus). They also make their own signature beer and liquor concoction, "Witch's Brew." Opinions are mixed among my friends--some hate it, some love it--but if you go, you should try it. The bar service can be a bit slow at peak times, but the bartenders are great. Amazingly, Carmella will remember your name once she learns it and greet you personally the next time you're in. If you can reach the inner sanctum of regulars (sadly, I haven't), you get added to her mass text for their special events, and a reminder if you forgot your credit card. Others, including my dear Becky, have described the decor well. I'll just add that when they actually have Halloween parties, people come in costume; the atmosphere is even better! I do have to disagree with some of the other reviewers, though: the shock game is a favorite of mine. Basically, this is a welcome change of pace from your average Carson St. bar. read more

Halloween all year round? That equals totally awesome! At times it can be overly crowded and smokey but still worth going too. They have several bar crawls a year that support the Halloween theme. If you attend often enough, the bartenders know you by name and invite you to special events. Also nice that is not directly on carson so you have to want to come here to find it. read more

Best bar in Pittsburgh. Halloween themed all year. Karaoke. Magic Hat on tap. What more do you need?

I have been here a few times I like the idea of the bar but sometimes the staff can be hit or miss. I went here with my friend once to just grab one drink and he spilled his drink when the bartender handed it to him which was partly the bartenders fault, the bartender not was rude about it he made him pay for a new drink. We were not drinking prior to this, this was our first drink. As a bartender you shouldn't make someone pay for a drink that was completely spilled in my opinion especially since we were the only ones in the bar it's not like he had a bunch of customers to deal with. His attitude was just not really professional in general since we were asking him about drinks and he just didn't seem like he was interested in making ones we asked for not really cared. I like the atmosphere of the place since I do love Halloween and dive bars like this but they could use some better training of their bar staff. Also their mixed drinks and specialty shots are not that great you can get way better specialty shots at other bars but I get why people come here for the atmosphere. read more

This bar is amazing on kareoke night! The staff is friendly and I love the Halloween theme! I took a friend here from out of town, and she thought the spooky drinks were delicious! I will surely come here again! read more

I love themed bars, especially Halloween/scary stuff themed bars. The concept of this place is great. It's a dive-type place with some interesting mixed drinks and cool atmosphere. They really need more help, especially on the weekends, because the poor bartender was in way over her head. I waited 15 minutes to order at one point. This is likely because they have these awesome things called Evil Drinks that have vampire teeth, witch fingers and spider rings decorating them. Awesome touch and great flavors. They have a ton of seasonal brews on tap. Head over there now for a huge pumpkin selection. I'd go back to J&H, but maybe not on a Friday or Saturday night. The DJ was pretty awesome, though! read more

I have mixed feelings about this place. I'm not a fan of Halloween so I didn't get the theme nor like it. The bar was dark, dirty, and the decorations were not my thing. It is off the main drag of Carson Street but it was still crowded which surprised me. The prices were not bad and they had good specials for a weekend. I went with a $3 fireball. I would give this bar another try. read more

Great prices, fun house music, atmosphere "ok", the crowd is young college kids, so great for that age group!

Awesome & unique atmophere. The bartenders were great. It was a busy Saturday night and they still gave personal and quick service.

Does what it says on the label - it's a halloween theme bar with 'evil' drinks that taste like candy. I highly recommend the Zombie. They have a pool table in the back which is cheap to play. Also have fun lighting and decor and a very laid back atmosphere. You will have a good time here. read more

There's something about this bar I love, and I don't know entirely what it is. The drinks are good, service is fair...I think the Halloween theme and interesting crowd do it for me. Karaoke night is always my favorite night here. :) read more

Fun little dive bar with good specials, decent drink selection and fun live music. If you want a good spot that is somewhat off the beaten path with a mid 20-30 crowd, this is the place to go. Also, bartenders and very accommodating and serve with a smile :) read more

The best bar in Pittsburgh, if you like fun. Hot chicks and cool drinks. That's the recipe for J and H. I'd like to have whoever decorated the place, be my interior designer at my home. read more

Pretty much always Halloween here. A cool dive bar. Nothing more.

I was just being a baby about it not being open at 7:07..its awesome in there. And great service. Spooky drinks and Spooky shots are awesome and not crazy pricey. It's like Halloween plus carnival plus liquor in a drink. Big fan. read more

This is the best place to fire up, hang, and, end-the-night... or all 3! Seriously, make this your out-of-the-way place to hang and kick ass. Short walk from carson and 18th. read more
