Plan your visit

Do not travel to the East Carson Street address expecting an active Smiling Moose show or restaurant. Verify any current occupant independently. Smiling Moose’s surviving locations are outside Pittsburgh’s South Side and should not be treated as replacements for legacy concert tickets or event listings.

Accessibility

The South Side venue is closed, so its former access arrangements are no longer actionable. Contact any current occupant of 1306 East Carson Street about step-free entry, seating, restrooms, and service animals, or contact the active Cranberry and Grove City locations for their own accommodations.

The Smiling Moose’s original South Side bar and live-music venue at 1306 East Carson Street closed at the end of May 2025 after 23 years. The company continues other restaurant and brewery locations in Cranberry Township and Grove City, but this Pittsburgh venue record is historical.
