The bar sucks the one bartender doesn't care about customers and make you wait to buy a drink and karaoke host sucks at her job and there more bs go on there but I leave it at this
The Carlton has changed indeed. As for the day crowd don't mix with night crowd is stupid. I'm the karaoke hostess there and I love everyone that comes in at night. And I have Friends that go there in the day. Including the bartenders. I have turned the Carlton into a place of happy times..we do not allow dealers or retards in the bar. That's why she can be empty sometimes. Sure we could let them in and have great business but is it really tho. Crime and drugs go hand in hand and we do not tolerate that at all here at the Carlton.. I do dj and karaoke Saturdays for others who love to dance like me. Hope to see that things change and ya have to give it a chance at least.. don't let bad reviews affect your judgment of the place.. people who were fired for drug use and people who have serious crimes records aka creepy karaoke host t who worked there..was a pedo. I took over and it's been alot better there. Have a blessed day
We call it the Cartoon for a reason. Most cartoons contain serious amounts of violence. Mind you, the Carlton has calmed down considerably over the years. It's one of Hamilton's oldest "living room" draft houses. Let me explain.
There are 2 crowds that attend the Carlton. The day crowd, and the night crowd.
The day crowd use the Carlton as an extension of their living room. Many of the regulars live alone but dislike drinking alone, so they sit in the Carlton instead, and drink draft by the pairs, just like the old days. These regulars expect to be treated the same was you would treat them if you were in their home - in their living room. The day crowd clears out at shift change, around 6pm. Those that stick around after that can get themselves into some trouble. Day crowds and night crowds don't mix.
There's usually a bit of a quiet stint before the night crowd is fully engaged. The Carlton sits in one of the toughest inner-city neighbourhoods in Canada. I mean, it... is .. tough. High crime rates. One of the highest incidence of poverty in the country. Serious drug problems. The Carlton is smack dab in the middle of it. So I'll leave it to your imagination what the night crowd is like.
That doesn't mean you can't go to this little hole-in-the-wall and have some fun, because you can. They have cheap products, a pool table, dart boards (with the accompanying sharp objects), a juke box, and from time to time live entertainment and karaoke. But if you go in looking for trouble, you'll find plenty - so bring money for bail in that case.
Not for the weak-hearted. Nor the weak-fisted.
