Carmella's Plates and Pints

South Side is proving to be hard to “finish.” With so many bars closing and opening all the time, we need to keep going back over and over. We were so proud when we thought we had been to every bar on Carson Street. That lasted for about a week.

In that vein, Carmella’s is the new bar where Inn-Termission used to be. It’s still under development. They are redoing the back room and they are very serious about NOBODY entering it ever. If NOBODY can enter ever, then it is going to take them a long time to get that work done. They should rethink their plan. Once they let people in to finish the renovation, there will be a dining area in the back and they’ll be serving small plates.

The front space is largely unchanged from the previous bar aside from the massive amount of taps that have been added. The bar is very long and polished, and the stools are comfy. We liked the space before, but it has a much homier feeling to it now. 

We were lucky enough to have a long conversation with the owner while we were there. She is great and we enjoyed talking to her. We are optimistic about the renovation. She was really welcoming and warm, and we figure she will make her space feel the same way. We look forward to heading back there in a couple of months to see what she does with the place and try out some food.
