Take a Trip Down Memory Lane. This is what bars were like a few decades ago, and thank the Lord there are a few still left. Nice folks and cold beer. This place anchors Carmel in the real world.
Good Times. I have to agree…whoever this guy is that wrote that review is a complete moron. I asked and there are two simple rules in the bar: No backwards hats and No arm wrestling. I love the place. OTT has a very homey feel that keeps drama out. Definitely worth going to if you’re new in town or you live close. I’ll be back!
So apparently the previous reviewer A Brown is a real d-bag. First of all Detour and Fox and Hound are about as bad as it gets. Old Town is a great dive bar and if you’ve never been there before you should. The owner, Bruce is as friendly as can be as long as you follow his rules…he is a stickler about hats being backwards but seriously its not 1992 anymore…who wears their hat backwards? All you need to know about this place is that for being in downtown Carmel don’t expect it to be the superficial hoity-toity places you might be used to. This a bar where what you see is what you get and when you’re there with friends and good drinks, what more do you need?
Owner is a Dick. I came back to Carmel for Christmas break and wanted to check out the bars. Detour closed at one so we checked out Old Town Tavern across the street.We walked in, it wasn’t a big place, but we sat at the bar scoping it out. Some guy looking like the white Uncle Phil from Fresh Prince comes up to me and my buddy and carded us. No big deal. Then he told me my hat wasn’t allowed to be backwards. I laughed, which made him re-iterate that backwards hats aren’t allowed. It was apparent he only approached us to be rude.We left about 5 minutes later, and I wish nothing but the worst for this place. I greet everyone with a smile and I don’t get paid for it like Entitlement Santa over there. Fox and Hound and Detour blow this place out of the water(friendlier, larger drink menu). Plus, if you buy a friggin dart board you can recreate the whole atmosphere without the dickery.EDIT: Feel free to call me names for my totally unreasonable opinion.
