Review Highlights

I think the previous reviewers have made the average star rating of the Carlos Club exactly what it should be... 3 stars; nothing more, nothing less. For some reason I can never get really excited about a night out at the Carlos Club. The crowd is weird, ranging from an old old man thinking we're still in the disco era to 40 year old cougars to the somewhat creepy guys (but I guess you find that everywhere). To me the place just seems like it's trying too hard to bring "hip" to San Carlos. And can we just face the facts please? San Carlos is not exactly known for it's night life.
The music is mediocre at best; they play the standard hits but also mix in old songs that I never would expect to hear at a so-called "hip" place. Oh, and DJ: when someone requests the Black Eyed Peas, it doesn't mean we want to hear them for 4 songs in a row. Mix it up a bit, please.
Overall, this place may merit 4 stars if you are over 30 and enjoy dancing. Or if you like being stared at. But for the rest of us, I can't help but groan when my friends are too lazy to drive somewhere further away and decide on a night at the Carlos Club.

I am biased as I haven't been here in probably 5-6 years. I used to go here for Karaoke even though the KJ's were incredibly hokey, Mr Sex always shined and I enjoyed doing my thang.
Strike one was when I seemed to be blacklisted, taking about 4 hours for one of my songs to go through, as I had unwittingly performed one of the KJ's songs.
Strike 2 was when I got kicked out for a particularly raucous performance.
I have heard they renovated and now even have a dress code!! Sounds like a case of mistaken identity.
Go to Sodini's people.

I had never been to the Carlos Club and we had always thought it was a horrible, cheesy dive inside (the characters hanging out at the bus stop in front don't help). So when we heard our boss' birthday party was being held there - we expected it to be a trip. Surprisingly the place was really nice - we were impressed.
The place itself is ok and we'll probably go back but the real reason I'm writing this review is because of the fantastic bartender. The poor guy was by himself and he was swamped with anywhere from 30 - 50 very thirsty real estate agents. The bar was hosted for the 3 hour party and almost everyone was ordering cocktails - which didn't make his job any easier. I have a lot of respect for him because he took us all in the order we approached the bar - not according to who happened to be closer or shouting louder as some bartenders will do. I didn't mind waiting a little while for my drinks because I knew they were coming and the people being served had been waiting longer. Complicated drinks were not refused! He was good, efficient, organized and he had a great memory! He really made the party go smoothly. I'm sorry I didn't get his name so I could include it in this review. He alone has earned ALL 5 stars!
We stayed long after the party ended and the DJ was cool! It happened to be the same day Michael Jackson passed away so he was playing lots of classic songs we all knew! There was some karaoke but when the very talented waitress sang, I think everyone else was a little intimidated because no one else lined up. All in all, it was a pretty neat little bar and a great place to hold a party.
It pains me to say it but they ruined Carlos Club.
Before the renovations it was a tiny dive bar but it had a lot of charm. The seating was cozy, especially the couch in front of the fireplace. An actual, working fireplace, not just something for decoration. It stunk a little but you put up with it for the same reason you put up with the stink of an old dog: because the charm and familiarity more than make up for the foul scent.
Tommy Boy ran karaoke and did an awesome job at that. The sweet, older waitress (I forget her name) was there what seemed like every single night and sometimes slipped free drinks to the regulars. There were a number of karaoke regulars and hitting up karaoke on the weekends was invariably a good time.
Then they closed down for renovations... and the evil came...
The fireplace is no longer there. It was ripped out along with the wall in which it was sitting to expand the place. Sure, it's bigger now, and cleaner, but all the charm is gone. Now it's just yet another generic, wanna-be-trendy bar. The sweet, older waitress is gone, as is Tommy Boy.
Karaoke (if you can call it that) is run by some new, horrible DJ and consisted this last time my friends and I went of:
1 karaoke singer/song
4 dance songs
1 karaoke singer/song
10+ dance songs
Me asking when the next singer will be up only to be told by the douchebag DJ that "the boss doesn't like it when I do karaoke when there are too many people dancing."
Great. The music the DJ was playing wasn't even anything notable. It's the same 10 songs you'll hear overplayed on the radio and pretty much every non-imaginative club. The DJ sucks, whoever the boss is sucks, and Carlos Club now sucks. On a side note, why do DJ's try to do both dance music and karaoke?? Pick one or the other and target a specific audience. You can't please everyone.
There are two good reasons, however, to go here once just for some laughs.
1. The old man who disco dances to all of the songs. He's a goofball and everyone laughs at him but he dances with more chicks than anyone else in the place. I have to respect that.
2. The VIP area in the corner with bottle service. Yep, you read that right. Apparently the owners think this is some huge club in L.A. and expect celebrities to walk in at any minute. They should relabel that area: "Sit here if you want to waste money and look like a douchebag in front of everyone while we all secretly make fun of you."
I guess if overplayed songs, bad DJ's, a generic club atmosphere, and a lack of fondness for karaoke is your thing, then by all means go here. (Or if you want to experience the hilarity of the afore-mentioned two items.)
If you are into karaoke or liked the old Carlos Club then, unfortunately, you're better off avoiding the place now and remembering it as it was before the current owner ass-raped the life out of the place.

Karaoke is not my thing. BUT I enjoy others having fun with it. GREAT laughs! This is a place you can go on your own & be entertained, chat w/others, have a drink or two & just enjoy a good time. A DJ & decent music as well. Drinks are pricey; I gotta say the Bloody Mary is just the right mix of spice & a generous pour of vodka. From the outside, the neon sign makes this place seem like a seedy bar right out of the '50s, but the interior is a nice surprise...comfy & relaxing.
Whenever I need a local place to chill a bit, this is the place. It's fun! Just ignore that scary neon sign out front & venture inside!

I'm Mr. Brightside.
Yes, the Killers is a staple of my Karaoke playlist. And while it may have been an awkward affair singing in front of my coworkers, my creative director, the vice president of marketing, and my CEO, a few beers and a Goose and tonic wouldn't let that bother me. After all, it was our holiday party. And the hardest thing to turn down than a holiday bonus is turning down a holiday open bar.
The Carlos Club is what you might expect from a bar off El Camino. It's got a local vibe, you can get your drinks, service is decent, and it's been recently remodeled for just a touch of swank. Plus, on Friday nights, it's karaoke. But these days, which bar doesn't have a karaoke night?
On the downside, it's pretty small. I've been to karaoke clubs where they have private rooms as big as the entire bar here. Plus the setup is a little awkward, the screen where you read the lyrics is on the back wall, and they don't have a monitor that allows you to sing and actually face the crowd. Sometimes it's the little things that open up your eager eyes.
Cause I'm Mr. Brightside.

Went to a meet-up here on Friday night. The drinks were good but a little pricey. The people were an odd mix of 20 somethings to 60 somethings and there was one 60 something man who was very into getting his groove on. Even with that distraction it was a fun place and I would return.
We aware that on Friday nights there is karaoke but the focus is on drinking and dancing and the karaoke was mostly a bunch of drunk folks singing very badly.

This place SUCKS!! After the renovation, it turned into just another regular bar. It seems bigger, but it feels smaller than before. It's pretentious and get this, full of older migrants from LA LA land. Nothing more dizzing than seeing a bunch old has-beens macking on each other, and acting like dumb-asses. It's become cougar disneyland.
What the heck happened to this old cozy, laid back Karaoke bar. This place should also stop billing itself as a Karaoke bar because it's NOT. The night we went, the cougars and hanger-ons were just interested in goofing the mike because they were all pissed drunk. If you want Karaoke, you should check out the Swingin Door in San Mateo.
DON'T waste your time at this place, and go somewhere else.

Okay, it's ba-a-ack. Following months of sad dark emptiness and renovation Carlos Club has returned, with almost twice the floor space it seems, and lots more table seating. Slightly easier to move around inside through the packed throng. Same award-winning round windows, classic gaudy neon out front, and all-American ambience of large-framed, loud, karaoke-loving enthusiastic people. A bit harder to get a drink though, maybe due to more people inside.
I don't know whether to take off or add a star for the 60+(?) yr-old would-be male gogo dancer grinding away in tight jeans up front last night.

All-American, high-energy karaoke bar on Fri.-Sat.! The vibe here is exactly like the bar in "Top… Read more »
I'm new to San Carlos and wanted to check out this place despite the lukewarm reviews. I'm just gonna break it down:
+1 Ambience
+1 Close to where I live
+1 Full bar
Yes, I'm gonna say -1 because I can get better beer in the city or at Jersey Joes for far less, however the cosmo I had was delicious--but it was $8. This echos similar trends of renovated dive bars I've visited in SD. They've got to pay back those loans somehow, right?
-1 Since I need to check out the karaoke night and see if it's up to par. Then I'll write an update.
P.S. Their well vodka is Sky--which is considerably better than most other places!
HA HA Why did this place reopen...
I went here a few times and I must agree with the previous poster, 21 y/o girls drunk off their ass and slurring their words and an attempt to sing karaoke....
OK beside the point... this place is depressing... I had gone prior to them shutting down and was ruffied... who does that... the losers that hang out there... I had 1 drink and managed to have someone slip something into it probably when I kneeled down to grab my purse off the floor or maybe the bartender... who knows who cares all I remember from that night is waking up with onion rings in my bed and my cousin telling me how wasted I was off of 1 red bull and vodka...
AVOID THIS PLACE LIKE THE PLAGUE!!!!
Ok, so I admit--I was 20 when I came here. I just wanted to go to the city and illegally drink my way into oblivion for New Years, but NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
Instead, I was dragged here. And it sucked. The music sucked. The bar itself sucked. Cops walked through and I had to hide behind a bunch of people to make sure I didn't get caught.
But I'm over 21 now, and even though I can go in there and get carded and chat it up with the PoPo...
You wouldn't fuckin' catch me in here if they told me I won a million dollars.
SRSLY.

Stumbled into this place because I was drawn in by their 50's style cheesy sign. The sign reminds me of the old school Big Al's sign on Broadway in SF. With that being said, me and my buddy Joel were expecting some sort of Reno type of lounge. Completely, threw me off because inside, they actually remodeled and it looks NICE. You can see the pics on their website in the review down below
http://www.carlosclub....
Semi mixed random crowd, had some of the younger freshly looking 21 year old folks, and a couple of the "reno types". If you go and find this 50 year old venture capitalist named Gary. Ask him about his girlfriend.

Just ok. My drink was a little pricey and not cold enough, but oh well. The people all seemed to mesh well together for a great time.

a few nights ago, an associate and i had to go and meet his dilla in the San Carlos/ Belmont area. they decided to meet at this spot, the Carlos Club. from the outside, i honestly didnt know what to expect.
the moment i walked in here, the first thing i realized is that this place is predominantly white. it was like a convention of rich white college kids. now entering: Squaresville, USA
2.23 out of 5 stars. my drink was a bit expensive, watered down. besides breifly socializing with the dilla, i did not really socialize with the crowd in here. everyone seemed to know everyone else in here from high school.

We recently started going to trivia night on Tuesdays at the Carlos Club. It's a lot of fun. The place is much nicer inside than the curb appeal suggests. It's actually quite a contrast. I have driven by here many times, and used to think that it looked like a dive bar. It's really swanky inside.
The manager (Russ) is super nice. He is really involved.
Drinks are reasonably priced. They run regular specials.
My only negative is one bartender that works there. He's not very focused. It's hard to get a drink out of him, even when it's dead in there.
Update: the bad bartender left in pursuit of mediocrity, and the service is now stellar. We go here almost every week for trivia on Tuesdays. Come play with us!
Great Time! This is a sad but true fact..i had a much better time here than i did at town. I regret that we even step foot in town. But, i;m all about experiencing new things.
So Friday Night we went here to celebrate Starbella's birthday. It was extremely packed. Yes, it is a drive bar, but all types of people come just to kick back and sing a little Karaoke. Drink are great as well. We took a shot of the Lemon Nitrous (is that what its called?) oh well, anyways it was super Yummy, I know this because i used to be a bartender and i know a good drink when i taste one! Drinks were super cheap as well.. we will def. be back!

Oh my F-ing G! Have you been there lately? It's definitely not the same old smelly Carlos Club I remember. Seriously walking in the club I think I had a tear to my eye it was that good. Everything has changed, the karaoke is on the right side instead of the left plus a million different other amazing changes. I thought I was on the set of Sex and the City. You must go down there and experience the fascinating remodel yourself.

This place just gave off bad vibes. Like bad feelings, bad thoughts, bad bad bad hints, allegations and other things left unsaid.
Yeah.
You know it takes a lot for me to hold back.
And to give an "eh" review"......
Particularly when they allow smoking inside.....

I bit on the expensive side, But I like the ambiance. Good soft lighting and comfortable seating is a must... I was in there on a thursday and they had a horrible band playing extremely loudly... Hopefully they get some good bands in the future.
The Big flashing "Carlos Club" sign in the front is the best around! A little bit Vegas, a lot more Reno...big circular windows overlook a busy bus stop and the San Carlos Cal Train station/stop. I have never seen one person smoke inside here , then again I didn't even know they had trivia night. Go to Kareoke, it's much better!
I always have a fantastic time here. Yes I agree Tommy Boy rocks and his Journey is pretty darn good. He always keeps the party going by playing 3-4 popular dance songs of the week where people can go and dance on the 12'x12 dance floor in the back and then another 3-4 people will take their turn on the mic. Friday and Sat nights at the Carlos club are filled with serious Kareoke people who can hold a note and really entertain, I have seen some pretty phenomenal performers here,..if you suck go on Thursday. I would say every time I go there is a different group of people, but most people who do go frequent the bar but I have never felt uncomfortable or like I didn't belong. Shit I'm one of those people that gets to sing 2 songs, Tommy Boy love me.
One reccommendation is try the home brewn Lemonade(Gregs Nitro) so strong you can hardly swallow it, and only costs $4! Drinks are cheap and strong, go have some peninsula fun!
PS It does NOT smell like pee, it smells like a bar..that has carpet!

Geezzeeee I lived down the street from this place my entire life and always imagined what it looked like in there, even as a kid. Being a dive bar aficionado I was freakin pleasantly surprised when I finally took my first stroll into the place. Decent sized bar stacked with bar flies at the end, loungy seats, fireplace (even though not on provided an ambiance to this place.
Ended up meeting a friend on trivia night. Didn't participate but had a lot of fun bullshitting and mingling with other people. Just a warm and inviting place to plant your ass and drink.
Don't know what the deal is but it seems like the police harass patrons of this bar for smoking outside? Ummmmm what?! Apparently this place is on the SCPD's radar.
A++++ for having my favorite beer on tap and smoking indoors. Love it.
We went to check on the reopened Carlos Club a few weeks ago. It has been updated quite nicely, but maintains some of its charm. Supposedly a little more upscale (some of the girls at our table were drinking champagne by the bottle), but a request for single malt scotch still stumped our waiter. Everything is new (including the bathrooms which smelled like raw sewage before) and there are a few flat screen tv's. Crowd is a little younger and hipper, but we did see one set of parents (late 40s early 50s) getting dropped off by their kids. They still have the karaoke, but play more dance music in between performances (ratio of 1 karaoke song to 2-3 regular songs). Guessing this is still the best place for a night out on the Peninsula.

Oh so flashy, oh so divey. I was meeting colleagues there for trivia night, and just knew it was at the corner of San Carlos and El Camino. So I go to the corner, and I'm like, hey, this is a Cingular store, not Carlos Club. But then I peek my head around the corner and am blinded by the flashing CARLOS CLUB sign. Aha, there it is. But where am I? Vegas circa 1960?
Brainstormer trivia/pub quiz starts around 8:30 on Wednesdays, and was pretty empty (the quizmaster attributed that to American Idol), but fun. My hefeweizen (pronounced Heffen-wisen by the waitress) was $3, which was refreshing after paying $5 all the time in SF. Pretty reasonable level of difficulty--starts easy, then gets harder. Btw, did you know that the city of Fremont shares its name with the first republican to run for President? Because I was convinced it was Hayward, and lost it for my team. Ouch.
Just a warning: CA's no-smoking rule doesn't always apply here, apparently. So if you're sensitive to that kind of thing, pick a different bar.
Oh, and you know it's not a REAL dive bar when they card you. Which they did. To our entire trivia-playing group of 9.
Three stars for cheap booze, trivia (free to play! unlike when I used to go in Boston), and the crazy sign out front.

This is by far the diviest bar I've ever gone to for pub trivia. The outside has this ridiculously glitzy sign with Pac-Man style "c"s for the first letters of the name. And then inside, it's like one dark room with a couple portholes. And smoke. Lots of smoke. I've never seen so many people flagrantly breaking the smoking law with the bartenders not seeming to mind. As a non-smoker I found the smoke a little overwhelming at times.
So we got there early and played some darts with their super badly weighted darts. And we got a couple soft drinks. Don't expect any Thomas Kemper if you're a non-alcoholic dork like me; it's your basic sodas here. I don't think there's any food here either. This place is for drinkin'.
We came for the trivia, and Iif I recall correctly they give a pretty good prize - $50 or $60 cash. There were only 9 teams so our hopes were up, but ultimately we were in first place only once, and then the music round failed us (as always). It was only music trivia and not an identify the music played round, which we doubly suck at. Anyway, they use Brainstormer trivia here, and the question difficulty level was good, and they included my favorite - the picture round.
Lots of regulars who didn't play the trivia showed up at the bar, and they all seemed to know each other. Since it was one chick's birthday she had a cake and slices were offered to everyone there. The feeling of camraderie at this bar was high.

I've tried to find a good 5 stare place in San Carlos, but alas its not going to happen.
Carlos Club came close but it just looks old and dingy inside. The lighting is not to good, I figure it was to hide the decor, and depending on who's pouring, the drinks can be a little weak. There is a fire place, and on cold winter nights, its nice to have a beer by the fire, and you can find good conversation sometimes. There is karaoke from Tommy Boy Productions and there are the few nights its packed in here.
Now I have to let you non-smokers know, that just cuz its " law" not to smoke in any public place, you get away with it here. You will see and smell smoke in here. So just be warned.

What can I say about the Carlos Club? Whenever they have a special event going on over there, I go to hang out, and have fun dancing to danceable music. I'm not a regular of the club, and I don't drink since I became a diabetic in the summer of 2003, though I have passed by the Carlos club many times when the interior of the club was an oldies black and green environment. When they reopened the club, I went in to see the new look, and I have to say that since I never went in before the remodelization, the new modern look, looks great, with a friendly environment, and without the other regulars who have had one too many, too many times. The Carlos Club is good place to hold special evening dance events, as long as the local regular guy in the yellow jacket doesn't ruin the entire event for everybody else who are having a good time, no offense. What's that guy? You had one to many beers?
It's past your curfew hour? Well what are you still doing up reading this review?! Cheers everyone.
aww, i just got the worst news ever. i'm so sad i can barely write this.
i'm sorry everyone but apparently the carlos club is closed and completely gutted, like it blew up or something. a fire maybe?
what a shame. i dont know what else to say.
i'm sure we will all miss one of the best bars ever built.

I believe this is where I fell in love with Knucklehead. You see, it was our third date. We'd had dinner earlier. It was late, and as a gentleman wanting more of my delightful company, he suggested we go somewhere for after dinner drinks.
After dinner drinks on the peninsula? I was in doubt, and he didn't know the area at all. Seeing the bright lights of the sign on El Camino, he screeched to a stop, and hauled me in. Ye gods. Karaoke galore. And it must have been 80's big hair, striped shirt, homage to Def Leppard night. With The Big Black Man as a blocker for me, we made our way to the bar in the back and got our drinks.
I'm used to being the only chip in the cookie over on this side of the bay, and he's so naturally ebullient and garrulous (haha!), I didn't feel uncomfortable at all, except for when some dude, feeling the Britney wannabe at the mike singing "Like a Virgin", spilled his drink on me and didn't apologize. TBBM loudly but politely made him aware of his faux pas; the dude proffered his apology, and bought us both drinks. A strange good time was had by all.

It's a small little bar. It can get crowded and noisy. But you know what, it's a perfect little dive bar. The patrons are all pretty mellow and the bartenders pour a strong drink. Plus it's close to Cal Train. It's a perfect pit stop for a bar crawl from SJ to SF.
Just think Dive Bar and you'll be fine.

Outside florescent sign screams Reno, but when you get inside it is a much different story. Not too shabby at all! It has recently been fully renovated and has a very chic look. The crowd ranges from a younger party crowd to the older generation. Seems like a good place for the girls, and the dancing, and all that they like to do. I'm more of a dive-bar, pub kinda guy, but I would revisit!
If I was expecting a tire shop, then I would give it one star but as this was a bar I am going to give it four.
I ordered two drinks and I was able to leave a good tip and get a dollar back on a Hamilton.
Did not play liars dice with the regulars as I am sometimes a bit dimwitted in those types of things.
Lots of people smoking which is fine as it is like watching people work on Mercury Hats or something...
If you are driving along the El Camino this is a good place.
overpriced drinks. weird mixture of middle aged people wanting to be 20 and young people who don't look or act 21. club is heavily cased by San Carlos PD - when you leave, expect two or three patrol cars in front and another one or two in the back (don't drink and drive!) the music is ok, mixture of karaoke and dance hits on Friday nights, but plan on hearing the same songs that are overplayed on the radio. at least there wasn't a cover charge.

If you mixed the wholesome frat-party like atmosphere of Cow Dung or Holy Cow or whatever the f#!% the name of that place is with The Mint (the karoake bar) on its worst day, I surmise you'd get something somewhere along the line a place like this. It's a total Cougar/Perv hangout and I can proudly claim I was dragged to it by some unwitting co-workers. How the hell was I supposed to know??

The first time I came here I was wasted, with some great friends, and had the best time at a bar in years. Was anxious to go back but this time agreed to be the designated driver. All the fun stuff about this place when you are drunk (the kareoke, the fact that there is nowhere to sit, all the wasted regulars) is not so appealing when you are sober. When you are sober it is crowded, loud, and smells like ass. I recommend getting there already drunk.

Wow, not sure how this place ended up on our Beer Train agenda this past Friday night, but I strongly recommend only entering through the door with a flawless immune system. we drunkenly stumbled inside and found it almost empty except for the party people. only thing that saved me from sitting outside until the next stop was the karaoke...have no recollection of how the drinks service was, either because they were unremarkable or the Goldschlager was kickin' in high gear. Two stars for benefit of the doubt.

Awesome dive bar atmosphere with a variety of crowd having a blast drinking and singing...can't get better than that! This is not THE place to hang out but has a chill atmosphere combined with good, strong drinks at a cheap price. The gin and tonic was alright but the "Greg's Lemon Nitro" shot was amazing. Definitely a great place to start the night...warm up with those Nitro shots...you better believe it! =)

How does places like this survive? Oh wait, you can't miss the flashing, glittery neon. Tiny little dive bar that requires a good timing to get some action. Could be interesting if you're not expecting much except some mixed drinks. It lost points for lenient smoking policy. Although, it is a dive bar. This is probably the most happening bar on most night closely trailed by the Orchid Room. Don't expect much and you'll be fine.
