Carolyn's

Nice neighborhood bar. Total dive.  Shuffleboard, pool table, and karaoke.  Friendly staff.  Well-kept bathrooms.  Carolyn's is one of my new favorite bars in Houston.

This is a cozy neighborhood bar tucked away by the railroad tracks. It's on the small side with a few tables and bar seating. They have a wide selection of drinks posted. The bartender on Saturdays is a friendly guy and can make anything you want. DJ Gonzo is awesome and runs a great karaoke show. There is an open area for singing and dancing. The smoking patio is in the front with plenty of tables and chairs. The regulars will talk to newcomers if you introduce yourself and strike up conversation. Nice clientele overall, have not experienced any troublemakers. Jeans are okay, it's not a high fallutin' kind of place. Relaxed atmosphere. The restrooms are kept very nice which we ladies appreciate.
