Great place to enjoy a pint and a leisurely night out. First visit, (from out of town) looked like from the crowd this is a popular place to go, saw a couple of "celebration/birthday parties", groups meeting up, everybody chilling out and having a good night out. Pool tables stayed busy from what I could see. Lots of folks being happy. Service was outstanding, Emberlie (sp?) took good care of us all night, very friendly and efficient. Other staff stopped by to check on us, looked like a good team effort for the business to keep up with the crowds. We Uber'd in, so can't comment about the parking, other that "it looked pretty crowded" when we left. Definitely added to the return list for next visit. read more

Experience was cool, bartenders were cool and young. There was 4 of us and 2 out of the 4 tipped over 20%, our bill for the night was over 150$. We were there for maybe 3 hours, at the end of the night some blonde lady called us "Assholes" cause we didn't tip... but we did, on top of that how would she know we didn't tip? Because the bartender told her, we were celebrating a birthday and having a good night. That lady is very blessed we weren't having a bad night because two of the ladies we were with don't play that. Definitely not going here again LOL!!! read more

This is a nice little bar, old-school. They have a good selection of beers and drinks; I just wish the beer, both bottled and draft, was colder. We've been spoiled by Twin Peaks. The food is good also. The queso is excellent, although they can be cheap in filling the bowl up. The cheeseburger is very good, with good hand cut fries. Recently the fries were warm but not fresh and hot. I also don't understand why they don't give us a bottle of ketchup with the meal. Instead, they give one little cup, which isn't nearly enough, and good luck getting the servers to bring you more. I had to go to the bar to get them. That's very cheap and annoying. Generally, the service is ok, and the ambience perfect for a neighborhood bar. read more

Perennial great place, great atmosphere and great burger. Nothing will be disappointing. Everyone knows this .

We came here for two team dinners and had a great time. Good food, friendly service, fun pool tables, and live music. Very accommodating to our large group--splitting checks was easy! read more

Big beer selection. Lots of space. We stopped by mid afternoon on a quiet Saturday to catch up with some friends. Ended up staying several hours. Waitress was super attentive the whole time even though we weren't big drinkers. We headed out once it started getting busy. It seems to be the place to go in the evenings. DJ inside. Giant television and yard games outside. read more

little older crowd away from college scene and good service and private parking lot.. the server was good but probably could've used more servers but otherwise little bit isolated from the college scene which i liked and great beer selection read more

I don't give bad reviews. I would just NOT do a review This one earned it. Here for a big event that was well advertised and the restaurant should have prepared. Swift to bring out all the beer but left my little granddaughter sitting there in tears waiting on chicken nuggets. Really? We ordered at 7:30pm. At 9:15 still no food for her. We had all ordered spicy chicken or entrees she does not like. Even though the mgr checked on our table, there was no effort made to bring her food. A table of 10 and your kitchen can't handle a chicken nugget order. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Congrats. You made the 7 yo at the table cry because you can focus on your food orders. Sorry, this Memaw is not happy. Oh yea, as we go to leave, they bring it out. No thanks. Don't brings your kids here. They have zero concerns about the littles. Just sling your drinks. read more

Great outdoor area for enjoying football and smoking on a weekend. Plenty of seating and pet friendly.

Both of the times I've been here, I have waited over an hour and a half for my food and the waiters only come when you stare them down and wave your arm for about 30 minutes. I've had to cancel my order twice because it took so long and they didn't care at all or offer an apology or refund. They also lied to my face saying our order was almost ready, but 30 min later I went inside and they hadn't even started it. This place seriously needs to learn how to have good service and common decency. read more

Kitchen seemed to be poorly ran as I could not order food due to them having to shut it down. Personally would not trust them with catering for large parties. Issues with watching games as well, no audio and delay issues. read more

Three cheers for Carneys. This has been my local for years. There's always something good on tap, and they rotate frequently. Lots of drink specials. They handle events well. The food is above average for dive bar food, and their burgers are actually very good. Outdoor space is very nice, esp. with the addition of cooling misters. The staff are, and always have been welcoming and great. Diverse nice mix of townies, students, and TAMU folks. No politics, no sketchy vibes, no "You're not cool enough to come here" attitude...super welcoming to all. read more

I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone who actually wants to eat. My food came out an hour after everyone else at my table was already done. I ordered a dressed beer while I waited, and it showed up foaming all over, ruining the tajín, yet they still charged me six bucks for it. Doesn't matter if the place is packed or dead, they'll still find a way to mess up your order. Total waste of time and money. read more

Stopped by for a quick appetizer, we had the fried pickles that came out piping hot and light and golden! Seemed like a great atmosphere to watch a game, and the service was prompt as well! read more

One of my favorite bars in BCS. Grab a drink and chill on the front or back patio, or play a game a pool inside. Great food and drinks, with specials every day. Owners, management and staff are all super nice and helpful. Try the steak tacos, always great! Never had a bad experience! read more

Great service, fun college bar ambiance, and good bar food and snacks. Try the patty melt!!

If you drink anywhere else in College Station, please keep doing so. This place is the best location in Brazos County and I don't want you making it more crowded! AWESOME beer selection! Friendly, funny, and well-versed staff. The backyard outdoor seating is great. My favorite watering hole. Stay out! read more

Slow service. Waited for more than an hour because they lost my order. Anyway the food wasn't that great, and drinks were watered down.

Was in college station for an Aggie reunion this week. Stopped in to Carney's pub and grill for a beverage after everybody else was closed the other night. Their drinks are excellent their house bourbon was delicious and cheap cheap cheap. I love the place the music is good it was pretty quiet Wednesday night but I understand it's a good place to dance. Actually, the lady bartender did take a quick turn with me. I don't know if that's open to everybody but just to let you know how friendly folks there are. The next day I discovered I had lost my credit card. I gave them a call and they said yes they had it I went back and sure enough they had my card - no problem. They are good people. Must go by and have a drink with them. And a meal- they have a good grill. read more

No better Bomber Pregame spot than Carney's! Cold beer, great friendly service and always a decent crowd! Will go back over and over

The drinks and food are ok for bar food. I did not enjoy the whisky sour I ordered as I could only taste the mixer. Instead of cocktails I recommend keeping to beer here as my friends had a similar experience. I really appreciate the pool tables here as it is a fun pass time, however, they are quite beat up and you have to remember to bring quarters to use the table. This location also has a variety of fun photo op locations. read more

Carney's, or the backup set for Cheers 2 Carneys is a nice pub/bar in Bryan, just north of Texas A&M down College Ave. The food is alright, burgers are pretty good for a bar, friendly staff, and a great selection of booze to choose from. They have different deals everyday(except Fridays) and get Karbach brand beers straight from the brewery. Pool, Shuffleboard, and pleasant conversation await you, should you venture on down to this establishment. Can get busy at night, but what do you expect from a bar in a college town? That being said, it does not attract many undergraduate students, so if you're tired of twerpy 21 year olds who can't drink anything but cheap whiskey and shitty beer, this is probably the best choice for you. 5/5 read more

Went Friday night. Was a great atmosphere! And had great entertainment! It is almost impossible to get a drink at the bar. We waited at least 15 minutes before we finally got somebody to wait on us. We went outside and found a table. Waitress came by and asked if we need anything and we said yes menus and would probably need another drink shortly. She never came back. Another waiter came by and got our empty drinks and asked him if we needed anything. Yes we would like another round. He never came back.. So my daughter and her friend went back to the bar and waiting in line for another 15-20 minutes for another drink. We ordered food at the bar, burgers, and they brought it to our table. They were averaging best. Went to finally leave for the night and took another 15 to 20 minutes to close out our tab. Has great potential to be a outstanding place, but they've got some struggles. I hope they get them fixed cause I would like to hang out there more. read more

Great drink specials on Tuesdays/Thursday's but it's not worth it cause the staff is pretty rude. Their mixed drinks suck so I usually stick with a beer. Staff will get on to you about your mask but not even be wearing theirs. read more

The manager reached out and apologized for my experience and gave me a refund. Chalking this up to just a bad day for them.

Pretty terrible service. I don't think there's anywhere in town I've had this much trouble spending my money. After waiting for ten minutes without service I ended up just going to the bar. The bartender seemed to forget he was talking to me twice. One of the people at our table never got their part of their order. You'll also be reminded people still smoke. Unfortunately , it makes the bar food taste pretty rough. The burgers are otherwise fine, and the fried pickles good, but you're better off going to Koppe Bridge / the Chicken unless you're specifically after the Karbach/AB InBev dive bar experience. read more

Why on earth would you allow a show to play music that screams and swears- i cannot even say it is all rap but knowing the students are gone- WHY? Play to the crowd! You lost tons of money in people we watched leave and we left. If I could rate it -1 I would! read more

Busy night for College Station! The pub was busy however they were able to accommodate 10 of us. The food was ok... bar food so we weren't that picky anyway. Good place to hang out. read more

Disrespectful Management and horrible service. Manager threw pool sticks and pint glasses at customers.

Food was great! Bartenders were awesome. The female manager should find a different career path or get training in customer service.

The male bartender with the ponytail has provided the worst service I've ever had. Was hoping it was a one off thing but he's been extremely rude the last 3 times I've been there. He completely ignores customers at the register and when he finally does decide to address them he is unbelievably hostile. For a bar with this price point and poor state of cleanliness the least that could be expected is decent service. It's a cute bar but not worth being treated that way. read more

Absolutely excellent joint away from the juvenile madness at Northgate. Great beer selection, knowledgeable wait staff and solid bar grub rounds out the menu here. Throw in great specials throughout the week and you have a winner in my book. The burgers are solid with the bbq burger being particularly toothsome. The salads are fresh and fries are all cut in house and fried to perfection. read more

The bouncer/bartender was a young black man in his 20's to early 30's wearing a plaid shirt. As my group walked in he grabbed my shoulders from behind. I now understand he was trying tell me to throw out my milkshake, which is totally understandable. However, because he grabbed me from behind and I didn't hear him coming, it scared me to be grabbed. Soon after I disclosed to a female bartender that I understood this man was just trying to do his job, and enforce appropriate rules, I completely understand that... but when he grabbed me, it did scare me. Because it made me nervous, I thought it was warranted to mention that maybe he could approach women a little differently so nobody else has to be worried. I'm a woman at a bar, so a strange man grabbing me from behind where I can't even see him is really scary, and I thought it should be an easy thing to just mention snd let go. The woman behind the bar appropriately thought she should mention it to him, at which point he got very angry and accused me of lying even though every member of my party saw him grab me. Apparently me informing the female bartender about what happened made him very angry, which just further shows he is clearly having some aggression issues. He defended himself at first saying he didn't touch me, and when I told him "yea you did" he said I was "just trying to cause problems" for him. No, actually I'm trying to prevent men thinking it's acceptable to put their hands on strangers. I apologized profusely to the woman at the bar who I had burdened with this issue, because he was clearly very angry, but she didn't deserve to have to deal with his temper tantrum on such a busy night. I would absolutely not advise this bar if you are a woman or a person who just doesn't like to be touched by strangers. I understand it's a busy night and tempers are running high, but there's no excuse for a man working in a bar to be grabbing a woman from behind, and then getting angry simply because I pointed out that I felt uncomfortable. I feel bad to have caused any fuss, but nobody has a right to put their hands on my body. They refused to give me his name when asked, and essentially helped him cover up the fact that he's acting aggressively toward women patrons of the bar. It scared me, and it's really that simple. read more

It's a pleasant laidback atmosphere and they play good music. Still on our go-to list, but it's gone downhill a bit, perhaps related to COVID. Drinks are a bit spendy, which is fine if consistently good but not when you're erratic. Food has generally been good, but not the last couple of times; Well-done is not the default setting for a burger. read more

I stopped here on a group bike ride several yrs ago. Today I was driving by and whipped in. Ordered beer and food. Both delivered fast. And tasty. Nice laid back casual place. Couple pool tables and a shuffle table in back room. Good music on the juke box. Listened to a couple tunes by the Lacs. Good place to spend an afternoon with some friends. read more

Too pricey for lousy drinks!!!! I'm not a beer drinker so when someone invited us to ho have drinks I was pretty excited when I saw a full bar but having a full bar doesn't mean good drinks. They really need to take a basic bartending class. Since when do amaretto sours have lemon??? I had one that wasn't that good but for $7 I was gonna drink it and since I am not one to complain I got another one hoping that it would be better .... NOPE only got worst. Switched to another simple drink with same outcome. After talking to a few friends about the experience they all said the same thing - stick to beer cause the bartender can't mess that up. Service was not all that great either. She looked like we were bothering her to get more drinks. Only polite server was the only non-white server. He was attentive and very helpful at getting us our drinks. NEVER AGAIN WILL I GO HERE!!!!! read more
