The establishment was originally called Pam's Playhouse but was later renamed after the beloved Carol Harris.

Whether you're looking for an evening of live music or just a casual night out with friends, Carol's Pub is definitely worth checking out. With its guts and soul intact, it feels good to be part of this iconic establishment that has stood the test of time.
