Unexpected delight. Carol's outside didn't prepare me for delightful pub and ambiance inside. Great draft selection, holiday-inspired specialty cocktails, great burgers, festively decorated venue and attentive service. We had chicken wings - a mix of buffalo and Parmesan seasonings, burgers and cheese fries made with Merkt's cheese . We left while they were setting up for entertainment. It's unanimous that we will be back again.

This is a great place to catch a show and get some drinks! This is a kind of honky tonk dive bar, but its kept pretty clean and their food and drinks are pretty good. I actually think their drinks are the real winner here because there is a variety and well made. The food menu is a little limited, but there is pretty standard faire which is better than average. I had the fried bologna sandwich which was a very good and weird thing. As for the service, it is also pretty good. This is a no thrills place that is clean, safe, and fun. I go there for the Cougar Bingo Rawr!

This place wasn't what I expected and it was fantastic! I came here on a holiday Monday afternoon and while quiet initially, it allowed me to enjoy some of their great pub food. The wings were exceptional and I also enjoyed their house made chips. Later in the afternoon, the crowd picked up and it was a fun atmosphere. Enjoyed the country music and the bartenders were super friendly. Look forward to going here again and perhaps do some line dancing!

I am loving this neighborly local bar in Uptown. I came here with a group of friends for their weekly trivia night and I do suggest coming a little on the earlier side as it was packed with groups of people waiting to play. This was my first time at Carol's Pub so not sure how the ambiance normally is - but it was DECKED out in Christmas decor. The bar has a homey laid back vibe to it. The servers are hustling and even though the place was packed I never felt ignored or was waiting for a drink for a long time. I did order the cheese fries and fried pickle chips which were both plentiful. I'm glad they put the cheese sauce on the side because I was not a fan of it but the fries themselves were good. I can not highly recommend trivia night here enough. The game was a good paced, never felt like it lagged or took forever to play, the categories were a good mix of things and was easy to keep up with! We're already planning our next trivia night outing here!

This place rocks. There is a cover (never a fan of a cover), but the music was great. Our server was awesome. Food was surprisingly good for a bar. It wasn't crazy expensive, and they let me dance which is so awesome of them because I'm so terrible at dancing that I often ruin the vibes for everyone else! I highly recommend. P.S. the lighting makes everyone look phenomenal.

I've lived in the neighborhood for over a year now and had no ventured into this place until literally this week. My friend and I stumbled on their weekly Wednesday trivia night and it was great! We sat at the bar and played for there. Our bartender was sweet and helpful and also went up to the host of the trivia night to get us sheets to play the game. We ordered various drinks and I liked what they had on draft - there's some decent options. The food here looked pretty good. We ordered the hush puppies and I had asked for buffalo chicken wings however she gave me tenders instead on accident (however I didn't say anything). The hush puppies were actually pretty decent! The chicken tenders were good - pretty standard. I'd wanna come back to try their burgers next time for sure. Overall a good vibe - I didn't feel out of place a queer person which was good. Given that it's in Uptown, it makes sense, but I was initially a bit weary coming here at first because of it being a country bar and just not really knowing what to expect, but I had a great time here with my other queer friend. Kudos for still being gay friendly. They also have patio seating on Leland, and on most warmer nights, they'll have the big windows on both sides open which adds to the ambiance. Definitely recommend this spot! Also, by no means does it feel like a dive bar - just an FYI. It's a pretty large place.

Formerly a super dive bar and now it's kind of a trendy hipster bar but it still has charm. It's not as fun as it used to be but it's cleaner thankfully. Carol's Pub is a long time favorite for drinks and music. One of the big changes is there's food, and some of it's actually good. The prices have gone up as a result but you can still find some cheaper things and it's still not that expensive considering everything and quality. A lot of history about this bar. It's been around since 1972, and had a long list of musical performances. They play mostly country stuff. It's not my preference. They do play other stuff though. Some alternative and other hip music. There was recently a surprise appearance by countryish alternative band Wilco. Last time we got drinks and food. We were impressed. It's about $10 for a house specialty cocktail. The Carol's Cooler was the best of these. Light and refreshing. This was made with blackberries, Few gin, mint, and soda. As for the food, we got a Soft Pretzel. It's $11 for a big one covered in salt. Had to shake this off. Pretzel was still good after that. Food otherwise is greasy. There's burgers and that kind of stuff. Come for drinks, food, and music. It plays mostly country but there's other things. The act sometimes is famous, or was famous or whatever.
