2 injured after falling from balcony of Mt. Washington bar

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) - Two people were injured after falling from the balcony of a bar in Mt. Washington. 

Pittsburgh police were called to Satalio's Bar and Lounge on Bailey Avenue just before 2 a.m. Tuesday morning for reports of two people who had fallen from a balcony. Police said officers found two people on the ground outside with head injuries. 

"It's always been pretty safe. We've always felt good out here," said Bart Barcic, who said he's a bar regular.  

Police said a male was taken to the hospital in critical condition while a female was transported in stable condition.

Barcic said he's typically at the lounge a few times a week and when the weather is nice, he's hanging out on the deck. He said he's never questioned its stability.

"I'd say on the weekends a lot lot of people go. It's a great view of the city," he said.

Crews were out Tuesday afternoon boarding up the entrance to the deck.

KDKA tried reaching the owner for comment but was told by restaurant staff he wasn't in.

KDKA called the city's Department of Permits, Licenses, and Inspection to find out if the deck was up to code but the office is only open on Mondays.

In the meantime, police say the incident is under investigation.

"I'll always go back there. It really doesn't change much," Barcic said.
