Carrigan Arms

This place is such a gem. They have great music Sat afternoons and the best perogies I have ever had. I am looking forward to trying the cabbage rolls cause I heard they are also awesome. Such a fun little spot. A great place to go listen to music Sat afternoons (they have country music on Sun — not my thang) and eat comfort food.

This is absolutely the most Fun, Welcoming, lovely little pub I know. The staff I’d bar non the best out there. I’m treated with Respect and care every single time I go. You will fall in love with the staff I promise you that. The owner is so so nice. She makes you want to come back because your part if the Family. The food is OUTSTANDING… fresh home made from scratch… Delicious food and awesome prices. The last part is how amazing the music is… Local talent only! !! The dances are so much fun as well. The Carrigan Arms gets 12 out of 10 from me. Trust me check it out. you’ll thank me

Us: «What do you have on tap?»
Waiter: *raises his eyebrows* …*pauses*…“Draft beer.”
(This response came complete with a cold unimpressed look… one that said «you don’t ACTUALLY expect me to list the beers for you, do you?!?»).
The pop arrived flat in the rum and diet cokes. One of the beers tasted gross and the pitcher we ordered was the wrong beer. Three for three. Good start to the night. To be fair they graciously returned the flat coke and got us something different and we decided to just drink the pitcher they brought rather than make them waste it.
This is a pub in the suburbs in a strip mall but even considering that, this was a pretty bad start to the evening.
Walking into this place was like walking into the early 90’s: décor, clientele, music/​light show and all.
We unknowingly showed up on «Rainbow Dance Night» which they hold every Saturday night. The clientele was all 40’s and 50’s and the place was pretty empty (seating for ~100 people, and there were maybe 10 people not including our party). One of the ladies informed me this is Burlington’s only gay bar (and it’s only a gay bar on Saturday nights). **As a disclaimer, I’ve been to a handful of gay bars over the years and this is the ONLY one I didn’t like.**
Friday nights they do karaōke and serve cheap fish and chips.
Overall this is an odd place to be and turned out to be somewhere between hilariously sketchy and just plain bad.
