A popular Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania bar is temporarily closing its doors after violence rocked the busy neighborhood over the weekend, making owner Brian Vetere say enough is enough.

Carson City Saloon locked its doors and turned off its lights this week, citing safety concerns for its customers and employees as the crime-riddled area saw multiple shootings.

The establishment posted a statement to Facebook Monday explaining its decision to temporarily close its doors for the first time in its 17-year history.

I live on the Southside slopes. I am a 5 minute drive to the flats where all this trouble is and I still wont go there on weekends. Its all Urban youths and white trash. This garbage killed the Waterworks Mall in Homestead and Kennywood park. We cant have nice things here anymore.

That is true but nobody like it. At least you will have SOME patrons if you play country music.

How often do you drink while you listen to it?

Carson Street/South Side has been in decline for years.

Shameful picture of a buncha White debbils that won’t allow peaceable, law abiding black folks in their bar. I thought racial segregation ended with the civil rights act.

That’s the Waterfront (Homestead), not Waterworks.

Waterworks is in the hoity-toity RINO (and increasingly Democrat) suburb of Fox Chapel, and Waterworks has been similarly destroyed due to being on the bus line which transports the ghetto to the area daily.

I stand corrected. Kennywood has to close now 7 pm. I deliver in areas like Homestead, Braddock, Mckeesport. Blight is too kind a word to describe those areas.

Not completely…but getting close.

The new Mayor will fix that…it will be completely soon enough.
