11/08/2026: My husband and I celebrated Day 2 of our wedding at Carroll’s Bar last weekend, and it absolutely did not disappoint! We had a huge area reserved in the beer garden, which was well used by all of our guests. The bartender who brought us to our area made us feel so welcome and never rushed us or our guests, which really helped us settle in and enjoy the evening. By 8pm, the whole outdoor area was absolutely electric with live music & packed with people as there was a road race on earlier on! We were so grateful that we arrived on time and had our space reserved, as it made everything run so much more smoothly and meant our guests could relax and enjoy themselves without worrying about finding a spot. Aleannah was absolutely lovely to deal with throughout the booking process and made everything so easy. We also ordered food from Botown, which was delivered to us and was absolutely sensational! It was such a gorgeous addition and something we would definitely recommend considering if you're booking an event or party at Carroll’s Bar. Thank you to the whole team for helping make our wedding celebrations so special.

10/08/2026: I booked Carroll’s to have one of my best friends leaving party’s as she is emigrating. The atmosphere was fantastic, the space reserved for us was perfect, and the live music was great. On top of all of that, she was able to bring her golden retriever (Milo!) to join in on the celebrations, who was a hit with everyone in the pub. It was so easy to book and Aleannah was so helpful in booking everything. Great experience, would highly recommend! ❤️
