THIS WAS NO JOKE AT ALL. The food was good and Reggie's service certainly didn't disappoint. My group is only in SD once per year but this place is gonna be a regular stop when we're here. Keep up the good work and we'll see you next year!

Talk about a perfect place to minimize distractions and focus on enjoying a delicious cocktail or…read morethe company you are sharing it with. At the Carpenter Bar, the lights are low, there is minimal seating, and it's easy to just slow down, sip on your drink, and enjoy your evening. If you're looking for a Busch light or a vodka Red Bull, this probably isn't your scene, but if you appreciate the finer things and attention to detail with your spirits, definitely try to get a table or a seat at the bar here. I will definitely go back. This Three-Quarter Nelson cocktail is essentially a whiskey sour with a little amaretto softening the spirit and adding such a delicious nutty element to the drink.

Husband and I popped-in looking for a night cap. We're from South Sioux and was staying the night…read morein Sioux Falls. It was a Sunday evening, so we weren't looking for much. Just a place to hang out for an hour or so. I'd categorize it as a 'dive bar.' I enjoyed the decor. It's full of street signs, construction equipment, and alcohol advertising. Had 1 pool table, a couple slots, and dartboards. I noticed an outdoor patio/smoking area. Bar was only maybe, 8 people long? 10 if you squished. We hung out at a table; the bar was shoulder-to-shoulder full. Bartender came over and waited on us. That was nice. I expected to go to the counter. She was very kind, quick, and attentive. Never caught her name but loved her blue hair! I could tell the rest of the bar was full of regulars and we felt a little out of place. But, it's a tiny bar on a Sunday night. We almost witnessed a fight! And a patron had to be cut off and he somehow didn't fall as he was leaving. I pray he didn't drive. More than 1 person complimented my husband's beard. Was a tad bit awkward. LoL He used the bathrooms and he said it was fine. Prices were good. I noticed they had a lot of specials and happy hours. Didn't love it. Didn't hate it. Gave it 3 stars because I wasn't disappointed nor was I blown away. Neutral rating for a neutral experience. Beware of pot holes in the parking lot.

Their Bloody Mary was named the best in the state by Absolút Vodka. Ask for it extra spicy if you like a good kick. Bartenders know obscure shots and drinks so nothing is off the menu. Named in the Top 100 College Bars for Bros by BroBible, momentos of USD's past are displayed behind the bar. The booths are small, but every seat tells a story as students have carved their initials into the wood. The outdoor patio is spacious and a great place to hang out when it's warm. They do not serve food and take cash only (there is an ATM inside). However, you are allowed to bring food from other restaurants inside to eat. You can also purchase a mix-and-match six pack to-go. No stop in Vermillion is complete without a drink at Carey's.

We were a little leery and skeptical but ended up believing absolutely satisfied and happy. We will definitely be back. The fish and chips was yummy, even the tartar sauce was great. The service was great from the bar. My husband had the wings and they were great, our adult children had their famous sloppy Joe and loved it, and without the menu right in front of me I think it was called like the Italian pork sandwich which had so many layers it was amazing. You can witness them coming out to put the fresh beer on tap into a frying pan where they are cooking the delicious pork and scrumptious herbs in a sauté. Excellent!!! The fries were fresh and hot and delicious being fried in an expensive and healthier oil. Our adult daughter is extremely picky and she just saved every bite and enjoyed it just like the rest of us that are extremely picky. This isn't just everyday food it's cooked from scratch, hand dipped fish, Quality ingredients and put together with thoughtfulness and deliciousness. We definitely will be back! The ambience was fun being in a bar where there was locals having a good time. A 50th birthday party in a band along with a party bus stopping in with a group of people everyone was happy and it was a wonderful evening. The manager and the other bartender just made the end of the evening a wonderful night. Thank you to THE BAR! Keep up the great work & amazing food.
