Seemingly out of business or the hours must be incorrect. Whole place was dark and I tried to come here before 9pm. ?♂️

Disgusting place. Came here with a friend, they were closed but it said they open In an hour or so, we came back at opening for a drink, they towed my car. $500 to get it out. Used to love coming here with friends never again.

Awful place with terrible service. Rude staff all around and parking is atrocious. The owner is tow happy, like dude I'm trying to give YOU business. Avoid at all costs, go to Drake's

The Rail Sports Pub & Lounge is a decent spot for a drink and a game. The mood is upbeat, and there are lots of Screens to keep up with all of the activity. However, at peak hours, service might be slow, and meal selections are limited. The drinks are competitively priced, but of average quality. Overall, it's a good place to go for a casual night out with friends, but don't anticipate anything spectacular. Three stars looks about right.

There was a lot of people there on a Friday night but there is nothing really to do but drink cocktails.. we went there to play pool because supposedly they had a couple of pool tables before but now they only have one and the bartender said it wasn't level and wouldn't let us play :'-(

Local lounge bar . Good enough to spend an evening.

-1 is more like it! Worst place in San Carlos! Don’t go there!! We wanted to get some food in us before going to have drinks and watch the game. They towed our car and it cost $525 to get our car. We were all happy going into the bar after having breakfast. Came out and our car was gone. Didn’t matter that we had drinks there or not. They said the owner towed it. They obviously get a kickback. Boycott, don’t go there!!! This is a racquet. Go to Drakes, better drinks, better people!
Is this place ever open? There hours state there open 7 days a week. Have stopped by multiple times and never open. Have contacted manager and owner about rental for events and they say they will get back to me but never do. Want to like this place but they make it so hard.

Okay, I find it entirely unjust that they're carrying craptastic reviews from more than 5 years ago and previous management... I feel like there should be a metamorphosis filter that lets you see how current management/ownership is dealing. Perhaps the owners are the same? I'm not certain, but I do know that they are under new management. So, all I'm saying is... give Helen a chance. You'll be pleasantly surprised. I've been there through all of the Carlos Club iterations, for more than 20 years... back in the bad karaoke days DJ'd by "Mr. Sex", complete with guy who brings his own mic and takes himself too seriously to the dive bar standard issue weird old guy who dances like a pervy chicken and had his own Facebook page for a minute; to the first change in ownership with its weird new vibe and sad attempt to class up the place but failure to fix the rank stenchy plumbing. I spent many a nearly forgotten night there until the past few years.... And now returned to find they're under new management and thought an updated review was in order... I had a chance to visit for the birthday of a friend. It was definitely surreal walking in to the updated location (I don't like the new name, it's forever "The Carlos Club" in my mind), the back bar is now gorgeously lit with a great selection. They've created some yummy craft cocktails, plus all the standards. Pool table, Darts and plenty of TVs to watch the games of the day. The furniture situation was a little awkward but it looks like it can be easily moved around. Personally, I hate high tops (short girl problems) but that's just me, but luckily they have low seating too and happiest of all happiness the restrooms are now meticulous!! It matters. So there ya have it. Give them a chance, and if you're happy help bump 'em up a star to move on from the previous mess.

I threw a surprise party for my wife here last Saturday. The owner Helen and her staff were very friendly and helpful throughout the entire process. I was able to hire a DJ and my wife, myself and our friends danced the night away. Everyone really enjoyed the drinks and atmosphere. It's a perfect spot for a medium size party of approx 40 guests. Thank u Helen!
