Carpenter's Bar and Lounge in Carlow

02/01/2026: Gonna visit them 1 a week from now on.

16/12/2025: This use to be 5 stars . I went here this evening , I’m usually not one to complain but I just thought how they actually dealt with the complaint was terrible , when our food came it was luke warm . I was sitting facing towards the pass, we ordered 2 wings , 2 garlic fries and a portion of onion rings . The chicken wings were sitting on the pass for atleast 5 minutes before the fries were ready , then when the fries were ready they were placed up onto the pass and sitting there for a following 2 minutes before the onion rings . So the wings are sitting under the lights for well over 5 minutes at this stage , when the chef rang the bell for our order the waiter went up and took the other order for the other table which came in after us , so our food was sitting there for even longer ( another 2 minutes ) . To be honest at this price this is just not acceptable , we paid 61 euro for luke warm wings & onion rings ( chips were fine) . When we told the man at the desk he apologised and said he will let the chef know , which is fair enough but they could of atleast took something off the bill we eat none of the wings , and left half the onion rings as they went cold . I love coming here , but unfortunately it was very disappointing , hopefully you can improve on this. I’m sure other peoples food was luke warm too as I seen another order up on the pass sitting there waiting for ages . The chefs are obviously not good at timing and putting all food out at one time as half the order is sitting under lights going luke warm while they are preparing the rest of the order . Sorry to say but was disappointing .
