They have always been friendly and free pool on Sundays! And now they have a new pool table in the back room. Have yet to try any food if they have some. Fun place though patio smoking area out back has a cool mural.

Carey’s checks all the boxes for being your friendly, neighborhood bar.

Out-of-towner here, and treated like a local. Character of the bar is tremendous. Aaron was so fun to talk to, and the local guys took their billiards beating well (just messing with you Dan and James!). Plus, the beers were so damn cheap compared to the normal big city prices. Will most assuredly be back next time I’m in town for work or other.

The lack of underage college students makes Carey’s the place to be. It’s not just that of course. The appeal of Carey’s extends beyond the great drinks ($4 Long island’s on Thursdays? Hell yeah), beyond the history and tradition of getting a meat shot on your 21st. It is in the people who are there. Genuine people. What more can you ask for at the best bar in Vermillion??

My go-to for meeting up with old friends and new. It’s both a locals hotspot as well as a student hangout. On Fridays you can find old farts dancing to great live music, too! The stereo tends to play better music than any other bar in town, too. My favorite bartenders are at Carey’s – they make the best drinks, and the best conversations, too!

I came into the bar and this weird guy Mike Jones, wouldn’t leave me alone. I told the bartender and nothing. Was my favorite place.

Carey’s is a Vermillion tradition for everyone who visits. Best margaritas and Bloody Mary’s in the STATE! Bartenders have worked there for decades. Great outdoor area and live music Friday happy hour.

Just has our twenty HS reunion at this bar. It’s been a staple in Vermillion for a seriously long time. It can get crowded but we’ll worth it. The outdoor patio is a smokers paradise, drinks are great and well priced but don’t order anything complicated as its just not that kind of bar. They even have Tuaca from Italy. Only reason it isn’t a 5* is no actual dance floor
