Reviews Summary
Carrigan's Public House is praised for its great atmosphere, creative cocktails, and generally tasty pub fare, especially its signature corn dog and burgers. While many highlight the friendly staff and enjoyable rooftop views, some patrons have noted inconsistencies in service and food flavor, suggesting it might be better for drinks and ambiance than a purely culinary experience.
"Decent atmosphere. Bar tenders were helpful and knowledgeable. The food was delicious. The only shortcoming I noticed for service was where you get the water in front of the bar had several glasses with lip stains on them, which heavily implied they weren't cleaned or not cleaned well enough."
Colby Corley
"Cool place! This place has real potential . It has the makings of the great bar and restaurant! Floors were sticky, a little dirty, employees were scrambling after they opened to get ready , and no one comes to your table to wait on you . You have to walk to the bar to order your food and drinks , and pick up your drinks. They will bring your food. Staff is luke warm at best. We were the only customers there and drove all the way here to eat at the rooftop bar but staff was “alone” and didn’t want to help us up there . The second customer came in 35 minutes after opening. They were close to a 5 star review with a helpful tentative staff that waits on you and looks out for your needs . Imagine if the place was packed !😥Food was ok"

"I can't say how many times I've been to Carrigan's, but it's more than 20. I keep going back because they haven't failed to serve up excellent food and drinks. This time we got the salmon salad - so very good - and the smoked pork nachos which were every bit as yummy. Large portions too. The cocktails are really good too. Carrigan's is a long-time and current favorite spot in the city."

For less pricey lunch options, I’d consider El Barrio, the Garage (cool bar with solid sandwiches), Johnny’s, Carrigans (good drinks with good pub fare), Rodney Scott’s (whole hog bbq from a South Carolina guy that knows what he is doing), Post Office Pies, Saw’s, or the food hall at the Pizitz. A quick spot that I like downtown is the Miami Cafe. Good sandwiches and mofungo.
