"After a two-year slumber, Carol’s Pub, returned to Uptown in 2018 with a new owner, fresh interiors, and a bonafide food menu. The refresh proved controversial for the bar that continues to host live music. The bar retains much of its charm, minus some of the smoke damage from years and years of cigarettes. Customers still dance the night away until 5 a.m. on Saturdays as live country bands provide the soundtrack." - Ashok Selvam, Naomi Waxman
