About Ms. Carlisles - Bar & Restaurant

Ms. Carlisles hits that sweet spot between a polished wine bar and an easygoing neighborhood pub. Regulars slip in for honest comforts—think a generous chicken parma paired with a cold tap beer or a plate of peri-peri wings over after-work drinks. Between the rotating weekday meal specials and Friday night acoustic sets, it keeps spirits high without straining the bill. Pull up a stool at the back or linger over a spicy margarita.

  • Friday Live Music: Catch scheduled sets alongside classic cocktails and craft pours heading into the weekend.
  • Weekday Meal Specials: Expect discounted schnitzels, parmas, and pizzas paired with extended happy hour drinks.

    My husband and I had the Chicken Parma - ample serving with salad and chips, again it was very yum.

  • Chicken Wings

    The wings here are just amazing, especially with a round of drinks to go with it. Highly recommend the Southern fried chicken wings with the Peri Peri sauce or the honey BBQ.

Before you head over

Practical advice on timing, specials, and navigating the venue for a smooth visit

  • Timing Your Visit Around Live Music

    Live acoustic sets run Friday evenings from 7pm onwards. If you prefer a quiet, conversational catch-up with friends, schedule dinner earlier before live performances begin.

  • Catching Daily Meal and Drink Specials

    Take advantage of structured weekday deals—such as Monday specials and Wednesday schnitzel discounts—alongside extended happy hour drink specials until 8pm.

  • Navigating Interior Space and Seating

    The bar features a sloped entrance and table ordering, but the aisle between the bar counter and wall seating can feel tight when navigating with mobility aids or walkers.
