Prosecutors Seek One-Year Closure of Pittsburgh South Side Bar Linx After 28 Police Incidents
The Allegheny County District Attorney’s Office is asking a judge to close the Linx bar on East Carson Street in Pittsburgh’s South Side for one year, saying the bar has been the site of 28 police incidents in less than two years. The DA’s office filed the civil complaint in court on November 9, covering incidents between December 29, 2024, and November 2, 2026. The South Side is one of Pittsburgh’s busiest nightlife districts, lined with bars along East Carson Street, and frequent police calls have long been a concern for the local community. By filing a civil action seeking a long-term closure order, the DA’s office is taking a forceful step against a problem establishment.
The case will now be heard by the court, which will decide whether to grant the one-year closure. The bar has not publicly responded. Just days earlier, another South Side bar, Cabo, was also ordered closed by a court for similar reasons, underscoring a series of forceful actions by the DA’s office against problem establishments in the South Side.
