Caroline Tavern

The Caroline is rad. Stiff drinks, great prices, delicious fried food, super service. Covered smoking section. Clean bathrooms!

Jukebox and pull tabs. Plenty of seating. Interesting (albeit a little handsy) clientele.

Bonus: stone's throw from my house, so no drinking and driving here. Great little dive.

Cool neighborhood dive bar.  Went here with friends and as soon as we walked in it's like they knew the other regulars in the bar.  Bartender is awesome and poured us some good shots to start off the night.  Good selection of beers on tap and love that they have PBR.  Put some money into the jukebox to add to the great music lineup that a regular started.  Only one pool table and one pinball machine but who needs those when you're having fun chatting.  Not a whole lot of seats so we stood a lot and wandered around visiting people.

Ok, so I gave this place an extra star because I met my boyfriend here.

Call me biased, I can live with it, he's a GREAT guy.

Neighborhood "dive" bar in the kindest sense. Friendly regulars, even friendlier bartenders.

A great jukebox, good location (for me, as I live about a mile and a half), stiff drinks, reasonably priced, and a touch of history (Will Rogers drank here, no, really!) make this a great local watering hole.

I haven't tried the food, as it's mostly fried, but everyone else seems to like it.

And while I can't call my boyfriend a regular as we met on his first visit to the Caroline, I can say I'm partial to the people that wander in here!
