I was a few days into my wedding trip to Karlsruhe when my withdrawals for IPAs started to kick in…read more Don't get me wrong, the Pilsners and Wheat beers of Deutschland were solid but they just didn't pack that flavor punch that I was accustomed to as found in the craft brews of the U.S. of A. In an effort to satisfy my craving for an IPA, my friend (the brother of the bride) and I hopped on the terrific Karlsruhe street trolley and headed to a craft beer bar near the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. After a walk around the block, we finally found the bar but it was closed. As if sent by God himself, our disappointed faces turned hopeful as we saw the sign for Carroll's just down the block. Could an Irish pub offer the IPA satisfaction that I so desperately desired? One look at a chalkboard near the bar and my prayers were answered: "Brooklyn Brewery East IPA, €4.50." I went to college on the East Coast, so I was stoked to see an offering by the well-respected Brooklyn Brewery that I had come to love. To find one of their quality brews all the way in Germany made things even sweeter. Amazingly, I had never enjoyed their East IPA before and as I poured it into a pint glass I was quite eager. When the hoppy liquid goodness hit my tastebuds, I was instantly back in my happy place. Yes, it was strange being in an Irish pub in Germany drinking an American craft beer. At the same time though it was just what I needed. The homeyness of Carroll's provided the perfect environment for such a random moment in my life and for that I will always be thankful. In addition, I was honoring my German and Irish ancestors at the same time in this Karlsruhe establishment, an historical 2-for-1.

Scruffy's has gorgeous dark wood everything, from barstools to ceiling beams, English-speaking bartenders and British beers on tap, and some truly fun music nights with performances from various local bands. I've had a really nice time every time I've been there.

Lovely cosey pub with a nice athmosphere and friendly guests…read more The service is "bar order only", so you get to buy rounds, what makes more sense anyway. They often have (local) live music acts. Unfortunately, the place is not very big, which makes it pretty crowded, especially on most fridays, but i think that's what makes it a good pub, too. Scruffy's has been my go-to-pub for more than ten years and i still love going there.

We had hoped to get dinner. We waited for 20+ minutes to order drinks and we had wanted to get dinner, but our waitress hurried away before we could get the words out. We finally got our drinks about 20 minutes or more later and told her we wanted to order food. It was 9:01 pm. She informed us the kitchen was closed and walked away. So, more than 40 minutes of waiting and that was that. Very disappointed on the service but the espresso martini was delicious and my cousin enjoyed her pint.
