Thanks to a recent remodel, Bar Carlo (6433 SE Foster Road, 771-1664, barcarlo.com)
is no longer an egregious misnomer. While the four-year-old brunch
joint is still only tenuously a barâthe place is only open after 10 pm
Thursday through Saturday, and then only until midnightâCarlo has
finally taken advantage of its very large, wide-windowed space to add
such bar essentials as a pool table, a projection screen and a piano.
The place has the air of a community center. Thursday is craft night
(pumpkin carving, when I dropped in), and Friday is devoted to arcade
games. I like Bar Carlo best as a place to grab an enormous burger and a
few cheap-yet-good well drinks. The barâs kitchen has greatly improved
in the past year, and the enormous sandwiches and excellent Cajun fries
are just as good by night as at brunch.
