PITTSBURGH — The Allegheny County District Attorney’s Office has temporarily closed a second bar on Pittsburgh’s South Side within a week of ordering another bar located just a few blocks away to also close.
On Monday, a spokesperson for Stephen Zappala’s office said Linx, located on the 1700 block of East Carson Street, will remain closed until order of court.
Linx’s owners voluntarily closed the business on Thursday last week and entered a consent agreement with the DA’s office to remain closed.
Last week, the DA’s office obtained a court order to temporarily close Capo’s, located just three blocks away on East Carson Street. The DA took the action against Capo’s only days after someone was stabbed inside the bar.
“Obviously, there are a number of issues continuing to affect the safety of our citizens living and/or visiting the South Side. It is the District Attorney’s intention, if possible and assuming they are willing, to meet with the owners of several of the licensed establishments in the South Side commercial areas to better understand their perspective(s), and possibly a better, less reactionary approach to addressing misconduct other than by sanctioning or closing businesses,” a spokesperson for the DA’s office said.
The DA’s office provided the complaint against Linx, citing fights, disorderly conduct and marijuana citations dating back to December 2024. In total, 28 incidents were documented.
The most recent incident reported was from Nov. 2, when a fight started inside the bar and continued outside. Three people were arrested.
