Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
4.9 / 5.0(6,395 reviews)
Upstairs at Caroline was such a fun experience! We enjoyed playing games like pool, Jenga, and foosball while sipping on their authentic cocktails. The view and the atmosphere were amazing, and there was always something enjoyable to do. I already miss it and would definitely come back! This place is AMAZING! From the vibe, to the music, to the food. Visited with my 2 tremage boys and ended up spending 2 hours here due to all the games - foosball, Jenga, pool, firepit... and Ernie was TOP NOTCH!...

Danny is hands down one of the best bartenders I’ve ever had! Super friendly, makes you feel welcome right away, and knows how to mix a great drink. He’s got a great vibe and keeps the energy fun. Definitely the kind of bartender that makes you want to come back!

As an Austin Native Caroline has been a go to !! For Coffee , the cinnamon rolls and Evan’s service upstairs, he goes on and beyond to make sure Caroline’s is enjoyed to the max !!! The espresso martinis are my favorite they taste like my morning black coffee with 2 packs of sugar !!
