4 Best Dive Bars near Carmel

“I go here multiple times a month, and trust me when I say it’s not the closest to my house. It’s a tiny hole in the wall, but it reminds me of bars back home on the gulf coast. It’s tiny and comfortable, and other than the regular crowd who sit at the bar all of the time everyone else is always different every night.“

“Ordene un arroz con gandules y unas alcapurrias. El arroz con gandules estaba durisimo no se podia ni comer. Fui a decirle a la muchacha que si me lo podia cambiar por otra cosa y se nego me dijo que tenia q ser por el mismo arroz. Le dije que no lo queria que me devolviera mi dinero y se nego. No se lo recommends a nadie el services fue malisimo. Las actitudes de la dama fueron malisimas. Una vez te cobras lo que quieren es quedarse con tu dinero.“

“I've tried to visit here every week or so since discovering the place. Maria is usually behind the bar and has taken great care to make it a good experience. I love the unpretentious atmosphere and the friendliness of many other guests who, from time to time and for no particular reason, stop to have a few words with me.“

“Syd’s is under new management and the changes are bringing it up to speed with a firm concept. The remodel opened up the down stairs dining rooms, fresh paint, new slate floor and of course a new menu with a person who truly understands food, quality running the kitchen, the dining experience.and flavors. I honestly view Syd’s is Hamilton County’s BEST DIVE BAR of 2025! For a more intimate experience go to the bar on the second floor… The new owners are trying many new ideas and many items. The Burgers of The Day is a solid first attempt at bring the business into the 21st century.I have tried several, all were outstanding.“
