Back in the olden days, Pittsburgh was renowned as a rough-and-tumble stop between larger cities, where travelers could stay for a cold mug and a game of pool. That simple industrial tradition lives on at Dee's Cafe, one of the most dependably packed stations on the South Side circuit. With two levels, a half-dozen pool tables, plenty of booths and stools for scores of drinkers, Dee's is among the grittiest, most unpretentious bars in the 'Burgh. Six-packs are available for takeout, but true Dee's fans can spend hours in its dark, smoky depths, jamming quarters into the jukebox and taking in the dizzying murals on the eastern wall. Where the downstairs bar befits sports fans with frothy glasses, the upstairs bar caters to the liquors-and-mixed-drinks crowd. Out-of-towners may feel a little wary when they first step into Dee's, but rest assured -- the bartenders are friendly, and it's easy to start some Eight Ball with a smirking new friend.

    if you aren't having fun or the tables are taken then try somewhere else.

    Don't, however, take the word of one fool who can't even spell "argued," LOL, and starts racial arguments with bar tenders; what is this, black history 101?

    Pool tables are nice, drinks are cheap, no worry of fights here (so long as you're respectful of the people, Steelers and Pens), stop by if you're looking for a cheap drink and a game or two of pool.

    By the way, "clan" is properly spelled "Klan," (you're welcome).

    The type of place where the patrons would cringe just at the thought of such a rating system...That's why I give it 5 stars..!

    Unbelievable, aruged with the bartender and a patron about how the 'black' or 'them' are ruining Pittsburgh. Never been to a more racist establishment in my life. Will never return.

    im drunk and at my house. im going to the smiling moose for happy hour, but guess where im going after that? dee's. 6 dollar pitchers and 1.50 bottles make this place the best for ending your night or for the best jukebox in the southside. although...they dont have stever miller on there which pisses me off.

    I enjoyed it much more when the God Father of S.S. Nick Terleski owned it.
