Carpenter's Bar, Lounge and Restaurant
10 Barrack Street, Carlow, R93 R1X2
About
Carpenter's is the yellow pub on Barrack Street, a few minutes from the bus park, and it has been in the same family since 1927. It opens at nine in the morning, which tells you what it is: a breakfast, a carvery lunch and a pint, in that order, for people who live here. The front bar has four big screens for soccer, rugby, racing and hurling, there is live music on Sundays, and the lounge is the quieter side. It has its own car park, which counts for a lot this close to the town centre. Walk in; the only thing you book here is the Yard Bar function room.
