Carl's Bar Reviews

First timer at Carl's, based on previous descriptions I really like this type of place (low-pressure, neighborhood bar feel). Parking lot was full as it's tiny and part of a strip mall, ended up just parking on Manheim which didn't give me any problems. Arrived around 7:15 and paid a...

I guess this is the only Melrose/Stone Park "bikini" bar that is still open and has dancers. Certainly not my favorite because they are super strict and have stupid rules like no hats after 9pm, despite the staff wearing hats still.

Very crowded, lots of customers and girls but most of...

Went with my gf on a Sunday night late. Even then they still charged a cover for us both. Few patrons and probably 4 girls. Chill bartender, Mike was great. Drinks are very reasonable, 3-5 for beer. Didn't do any mixed or shots. One girl did not look our way,...

After a long layoff from Carl's, I decided to go back as it's basically the only place left on Manheim. J's is done, and there's nothing happening at Bobby's. Carl's has always been hit or miss for me, and this most recent visit was a decent hit.

Overall, It's actually a...

Now that J's bar is closed down after a shooting and Bobby's only allow a back massage in the bar (no dances), Carl's and Louie's are the only clubs in the area for the basic, no frills options. Gold Room and Scores closeby too but then you're dealing with valet,...

I had to pick a co-worker up from o'hare, so I got paid to be away from work for the afternoon. I left early and decided to check out one of the Melrose/Stone Park area bars while I waited. I pulled in a Carl's which is at the...

Carl’s is in a shopping strip with plenty of parking spaces. I was told Carl owns the strip mall and has been in business 14 years, and the building is 10 years old. Interior is spacious and cavernous with a high ceiling. A long, well-stocked bar is along the...

I have been to this Stone Park establishment numerous times over the years - maybe 1-2 per year over the past five years. Stopped in on a recent Friday night. $10 cover. This place manages to always be sort of crowded. It is one of the SCs that I've been...

It was 6pm and I was on my way home from work, and figured I'd drop in Carl's. I had only been here late at night, so this was my first experience in the early evening.

There was no bouncer at the door, which was a first for me at this...

Went on a Thursday evening in April 2021.

Walked in on a Thursday night (around 10pm). There was a $10 cover fee and the bouncer scans your ID (something I did not like). This place has pool tables as well.

Drinks were reasonably priced (Modelo was $5 I believe) and the...

Haven't been to Carl's since January, and being labor day weekend I figured I'd make the trip here. I showed up at about 930 and it kinda looked dead on the outside but the bouncer still asked for a $5 cover. Paid cover and grabbed a drink then sat down...

So I stopped by recently on a Friday. I believe it was 2 weeks ago. It was only my 2nd visit since covid hit. My first visit back was on a Wednesday evening approximately a week before this Friday visit. That Wednesday I went with a friend and we had...

So I’ve been returning back to the clubs since 7/6. I went a week straight for the week of my birthday and my intention was to head to the south suburbs on Saturday. I changed my mind being that I stay 15 minutes away from the Melrose Park clubs and...

Was in town for a few appointments and arranged to stay out by O'Hare for my two favorite activities- Gambling and Dancers!! It was an extremely cold night but I decided to leave my jacket in the car because of smoke. Once I got in I realized this...

Decided to visit Carl's with a buddy of mine Saturday evening before bowling by the expressway. Parked on the main street due to the full lot. Door guy charged us $5 to enter.

The dancers were primarily nice to look at but they kept to the same group without much rotation....

I was in the area yesterday for a lunch meeting and decided to see some skin before heading back into Chicago. I've been to a couple others in the area and decided to see if this place any better than the rest. Not really.

It's in a strip mall with ample...

Was staying in a hotel near the airport so I decided to visit Carl’s. Located in strip mall in Stone Park off of Mannheim. Parked out front and walked to the bank next block over to hit the ATM. Not the best of neighborhoods, even though I...

I posted this once before and if there is one thing I can't stand is rejection - will try to add some details and I won't be shilling 4 club here.

I missed my flight connection earlier in the day and ended up getting in late. Stressed out as all...

I arrived around 8. Cover charge is at 9. Day girls are mostly MILFs in the 5-8 range, most with large jiggly breasts and asses. By 10 day girls are all gone and the girls get younger and leaner. $20 dances, but you can make a...

Pretty decent place. In a strip mall looking building. Parking was full so I had to park on the street. Guy at the door collects a $5 cover. Sports bar type place. No stage, just girls walking around mingling or sitting at the bar. Pool tables in the back corner....

If you are looking for a club where the stage show is everything then this is not the place for you. If you are looking to chill, watch a game, and talked to women then welcome! There is no stage or show! There is plenty of TVs...

So I've been here more than a handful of times, but I usually go to have a beer (bottles are cheap) and catch a hockey/baseball game. Its a large space that is maybe 10% full at the peak. There were some people playing pool and hanging out with...

I have been in this club a few times before but it has been a while. Not much is changed it is a very chill atmosphere. The beer is cheap and the music is from the jukebox. There were about four girls when I first got there but more came...

So I decided to stop into Carl's recently on a Friday night as it's on my way home from work. There were about 15 or so dancers working and the place was pretty packed. I ordered a Corona, had a seat and surveyed the room to see if...

So it's been a while since I have reviewed Carl's. My recent trip here was a couple of weeks ago on a very busy Saturday night. It usually is busy on weekends and finding parking can be a bit of a chore. This is not the place to meet up...
