Carrollton Station

Nice location and great wood floors and look. However bar tenders are really rude. They seemed unhappy and openly called customers who left cards really bad names. They took my tip without saying a word. Seemed like they didn’t want to work. I won’t go back.

Food = ?
Price = 5
Experience = 5 (the locals are very welcoming and love to chat)
The Brunswick company bar is a great design point here… What the hell, it’s a great bar in a great part of NO.

Came here for the first time to meet some out of town guests on a Saturday night. We were there around 8pm and it wasnt at all packed which was great! Service was really good, we just had beers. Ordered food from the back and the gyros were surprisingly AMAZING. Made us go to Lebanon’s the next day for lunch lol

Went to Carrollton Station to see Debauche the other night. Cover was only $ 10 and it was a lot of fun! It was my first time seeing Debache live and they were great. Carrollton Station is a pretty intimate venue; you can walk right up to the stage. The crowd was great and my friend and I were able to walk back and forth from the front to the back easily. There were lots of people, but still plenty of room to dance. Only con was that there is only one stall for the women’s restroom, so expect to wait in line!

I’ve only been here a few times, but I’m really enjoying the local, laid back atmosphere and the specials. My favorite day to go is Tuesdays where they offer a spectacular deal; Pitcher of Pabst and 2 shots of Jameson for only $ 10! Best deal in the city! Rotating taps and inexpensive bottles make this a neighborhood gem with ample seating and weekly events that include stand up comedy.

Great neighborhood bar with awesome specials every night. Only problem is that it is too far from my house.
Trivia night on Thursdays is excellent — lots of difficult questions and a world better than the think geek type sponsored events. $ 2 beers make it awesome.
Also a fun place for music and watching sports — they definitely have their bases covered. Live music on weekends but check schedule. Free food during saints games (might end soon due to new kitchen)
They will have a new restaurant opening soon — We’ve Got Soul opening up in their kitchen Thurs-​Sat or Sun which sounds awesome.
Definitely worth a stop

Best bar I forgot I loved. Growing up with it right down the street I guess I had to rediscover it a few times instead of taking it for granted. Stage, backyard, specials, bartenders… all great. Taco night!
It’s just a nice place to gather with friends of any kind. There’s no «type». The perfect kind of neighborhood spot.

CARROLLTON CHEESE FRIES!!! they changed up how theyre made but i still love them. Reminds me of A TotRoast without the potroast. It was comwdy night and the place was buzzin. Check the out, theyre always worth the money.

One of the friendliest and most welcoming bars in NOLA. Every Wednesday you can see amazing free comedy from local talent and celebrity drop-​ins (for example, Hannibal Buress, Kristen Schaal, Anthony Jeselnik and more have all done sets there). The brothers who run this incredible mic every week are some of the most hardworking artists in the city and have helped ignite a booming comedy scene in NOLA.
Also the french fries are dope.

I used to live a block away from Carrollton Station and it quickly became my favorite neighborhood bar. Great bartenders who are quick to serve you, remember who the hell you are, and are fun and friendly. I’ve been to several bars where I could be considered a «regular» and consistently get curt, bad service from someone who very obviously doesn’t want me there. Carrollton Station is a breath of fresh air. The kitchen is open again and slinging some really good (and cheap) food, which is awesome.
Wednesday nights are always the main draw for me, as it’s open mic comedy night. The hosts of the show keep the train on the tracks against impossible odds as upward of 40 people sign up to be funny, or bad, or weird … but always memorable. If you want to see the meat and potatoes of how comedy is made, you come here. It’s always fun and always a spectacle. Grab a pitcher, put your phone on silent, bring an open mind, and you will enjoy yourself. Even if you didn’t think an open mic could be fun. This one is different.
There’s also a great patio, awesome live music, and tv’s galore if you wanna watch a game. I don’t know what more you could want in a spot. Go to Carrollton Station unless you’re some weirdo who just hates fun and cheap stuff.

I love to come to Carrollton Station for the comedy open mike on Wednesday night! It’s definitely the best comedy show in New Orleans! Whenever anyone asks if I know where to have a few laughs, I point them to this show.
The staff is UH-​MAZ-​ING and the food is delicious. There is a spacious patio in back in addition to much seating inside. If you’re looking for a chill spot to just, you know, be cool, then you’ve found it at Carrollton Station. See you Wednesday for the comedy show!

I have seen bands and comedy shows there. Always a great time. From sitting inside at the bar or on the dance floor, or at tables for comedy night, or hanging in the back patio area… always a good time! It is a gem that hosts other gems. Plus, on any given Wednesday you may find a big name comedian dropping in to do a set, or touring comedians. No issues with this place. Love it! 35+ comedians on a Wednesday can’t be wrong.

This place is the best, and it is better than ever. There’s food! And it’s really good and cheap! The outside patio is really nice! The bartenders are great!
I see some other reviewers who had a problem with the Wednesday night comedy show. Well, I started coming here seven years ago when I first started doing stand-​up at the Wednesday night open mic and other than a couple of years up in New York, I’ve spent almost every Wednesday here (and when I’d come back to visit, this was always a show I’d make sure to go to. The same for tons of visiting comics from all around the country who know this show is great) The room is always packed with comics and real life normal human being audience members who come specifically to see the show. Trust me, I’ve seen «real» open mics in New York. Real open mics are sad affairs with a couple of comics telling jokes to each other and no one laughing. This isn’t a open mic. It is a (free!) SHOW that I get the chance to perform on every week and one of the best-​run, most consistently entertaining shows I’ve been to. New Orleans is amazing because there are tons of great comedy shows, usually for free, going on at bars. And what’s even better is that with the way Carrollton Station is set up, there are tons of areas to go and hang out if you’re not interested in the show.
Anyway, this place is great, and I’ll be there next Wednesday and every Wednesday after that.

Cheap drinks, good food, amazing staff, and fun entertainment. The Wednesday comedy show has been going on forever, and consistently brings in huge comedians (I’ve seen Louis C.K., Zach Galifianackis, and Kristen Schaal here, for free) and it’s actually run like every single comedy club in the world — If you’re being a loud drunk bozo, you gotta leave. The perils of having the most popular show in the city, is you wind up with a ton of drunk goobers coming in from Crotchberg, Missississippi and getting incredibly confused that they’re not allowed to shriek about noodling during the entertainment. This is also a good spot for bands, a tiny stage and surprisingly good sound and acts, like Dash Rip Rock and the Breton Sound. Go check out this hidden gem in Uptown and tell them God sent you (he’s more impressive than I am)

I’ve spent so many fantastic hilarious over the top Wednesday nights at Carrollton Starion’s Open Mic night I cannot actually count how many I’ve gone to.
Sure some of the comedians aren’t totally hilarious but a lot are! And sometimes kinda famouish people drop in to sets!!!
The bartenders are super friendly, especially that one with the man bun ;)
Oh and it rocks that they serve food.

As someone who lived and worked in the neighborhood, I can say with confidence that Carrollton Station is everything you look for in a neighborhood bar. Great drinks, wonderful bartenders who get to know you quickly, and good food. It can be a place to just hang out and talk with friends, or to see live music and comedy. The back patio area is great with plenty of seating if you feel like enjoying the outdoors.
I performed Comedy here at the «think you’re funny» open mic on Wednesday nights many, many times. I got to see an incredible show filled with local talents, national headliners (Hannibal Burress and Eric Andre among others), and newbies for FREE. The bar was always packed with wonderful people and I made a lot of friends here. Seriously, one of the most enjoyable experiences in town.
In New Orleans, you can get a drink from just about anywhere. If you want that experience to be more special than a fifth of ever clear mixed with juice in a plastic cup, Carrollton Station is the place for you. Free entertainment, great service, great beer selection, and wonderful people. All right in the neighborhood!

I can’t say enough good things about Carrollton Station. They have awesome, cheap food (my favorite is the turkey, cranberry and brie sandwich oh and their cheese fries! ok ok it’s a tie for my fav), great bartenders (who remember your name and drink) and some pretty cool entertainment.
I come out almost every Wednesday for their open mic comedy night which is the longest running one in the city. It is the one that consistently gets the most comics and has some super talented hosts. I’ve even seen some professional comedians perform there (Louis C.K., Eric Andre and Hannibal Burress), all for free. Sometimes they have up to 40 comedians come and perform and the hosts manage it like true professionals, keeping the flow of the show going, keeping the audience engaged and keeping us laughing.

Bartenders were friendly. However, the guy running the comedy show on Wednesdays is a different story.
First of all, the few funny comedians were great. They were polite and knew how to work the crowd. The crowd was small, maybe 30 – 40 people. It’s a small room and if anyone in the crowd has to ask someone sitting next to them a question, it can be heard pretty much throughout the small room. So naturally, some people might get a little loud in a bar when alcohol is involved, they might think they’re whispering when they’re really not. There’s a way for a comedian to make light of that situation and use it to get some laughs, or like these guys did, you could just make fun of the person’s voice and southern accent and then scream at another person defending them, calling them a whore for just saying they’re taking crowd noise way too seriously. Which they were.
Let me remind these «comedians», they are putting on a FREE comedy show in a bar. I understand these comedians don’t know much about making money, if you saw their gig you’d see why, but for that bar to stay open money needs to be made and if people aren’t buying drinks then their comedy nights will be
over.
I am writing this as a witness to the whole scene, not as someone that was directly involved. With that being said, for the rest of the night I felt like I needed to text my friends sitting next to me if they needed another drink or to let them know I’m going to the restroom. If the owners of this bar want to keep bringing in new customers and more revenue I would suggest reviewing the way the comedy show is ran.
There is a difference between a customer being rude by being loud and a customer asking their friends what they want to drink, the majority of people talking were not being rude.
Perhaps if their comedy was funnier they wouldn’t be so self conscious to someone talking during their routine. If the crowd is distracted by one person talking to a friend, it’s not because of the person talking it’s because your poor comedy gig can’t keep anyone’s attention.
We will be back though, there were a few good acts, but the but the biggest joke is the host and his friends.

Ok this spot should always be packed. Gorgeous old wood bar back and old mosaic flooring makes for a great pub feel! I look forward to seeing some music there this weekend. Just wish they had just a little something to nibble on.

Flashback! When I met Joi & Danny here last month, I hadn’t been inside Carrollton Station in a few years. But for the part it remains the same. It’s still a great building that’s for certain.
The dart boards are still in the back. (Do not try to play if a band is on stage.) The gorgeous wood Brunswick bar is still there. The drinks are still solid and not too pricey.
What’s changed? The old school games are gone, although the bowling one was kind of broken. I miss that bear shooting one. Random Story Alert: I brought some French visitors (friends of friends) here in the 90s and one of them was totally enamored of the bear shooting game. He proceeded to demonstrate his marksman skills for quite awhile. Turns out he had been in the French army.
In place of the vintage coin op games? Video poker. Sigh.
The management has changed in the last few years. But that doesn’t seem to have affected the bar much.
Great place to see a band in an intimate venue.
