They often have (local) live music acts. Unfortunately, the place is not very big, which makes it pretty crowded, especially on most fridays, but i think that's what makes it a good pub, too.

I was a few days into my wedding trip to Karlsruhe when my withdrawals for IPAs started to kick in…read more Don't get me wrong, the Pilsners and Wheat beers of Deutschland were solid but they just didn't pack that flavor punch that I was accustomed to as found in the craft brews of the U.S. of A. In an effort to satisfy my craving for an IPA, my friend (the brother of the bride) and I hopped on the terrific Karlsruhe street trolley and headed to a craft beer bar near the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. After a walk around the block, we finally found the bar but it was closed. As if sent by God himself, our disappointed faces turned hopeful as we saw the sign for Carroll's just down the block. Could an Irish pub offer the IPA satisfaction that I so desperately desired? One look at a chalkboard near the bar and my prayers were answered: "Brooklyn Brewery East IPA, €4.50." I went to college on the East Coast, so I was stoked to see an offering by the well-respected Brooklyn Brewery that I had come to love. To find one of their quality brews all the way in Germany made things even sweeter. Amazingly, I had never enjoyed their East IPA before and as I poured it into a pint glass I was quite eager. When the hoppy liquid goodness hit my tastebuds, I was instantly back in my happy place. Yes, it was strange being in an Irish pub in Germany drinking an American craft beer. At the same time though it was just what I needed. The homeyness of Carroll's provided the perfect environment for such a random moment in my life and for that I will always be thankful. In addition, I was honoring my German and Irish ancestors at the same time in this Karlsruhe establishment, an historical 2-for-1.

But this place has a very good selection of microbrewed beers that matches some of the best beers in the region. Their selections are fairly limited and need to look up the list of what's available, but the ones I have consumed so far, every single beer was just amazing. Their Weiss bier was very good. Even my brother-in-law from Munich thought their Weiss Bier was really good. They have very good food as well. I really liked their Schweinshaxe. I usually associate Schweinshaxe as a greasy heavy good, but not their's. It is not greasy but the meat just falls off the bone and very tender. We have tried their flamkuhen and it was very good as well. But I would avoid their BBQ ribs. Only thing you would get is very greasy ribs and nothing else. You would need more than a pint of beer to wash that thing down. Maybe that's the whole point. Their parking is very limited and street parking is very challenging but not impossible. If you are working/visiting for Agilent in Waldbronn, then this would be a good place to visit even for lunch. It is located about a 10 min walk. The staff are generally friendly except Friday and Saturday nights since they are very busy. And most staff we dealt with spoke very good English, but try to speak a bit of German goes a long way.

There is an outdoor area like many other Brauhauses. Unfortunately I had not tried any of their beers. I did order the curry sausages with fries (pommes). You get 2 slender red links doused with curry powder and sits on a red sauce. Fries are seasoned and crisp. For lunch, it was satisfying. The menu is quite similar to other places. They have a shredded sausage salad that looked appetizing as well as a large plate of spaghetti with red sauce. Hopefully I'll get a chance to come back to try the beers.

Most things on the menu are typical German Biergarten fare and done well. I highly recommend a hot pretzel with butter, a large mixed salad, and a flammkuchen. They have excellent flammkuchen here which I find a "sleeper item" to be done so well at a place where one wouldn't really expect it on the menu. They make their own beers and typically have the usual varieties on tap. On the day we visited they were down to only 2 varieties of beer and the service was average at best, so it lost a start this time.

The interior design and menu is very rustic German, with particular focus on local dishes. There is a huge outside area, which is particularly suited to families with children.

The restaurant incorporates a small brewery making its own very good beer, which you can also order by the barrel for a private party. And if you feel like taking a souvenir, there is the option of buying some of their own 1 litre beer glasses. Cheers!
