Editorial Review for The Speakeasy @ Tyler's – by Brad Hunter
In Short
On the other side of an unmarked door inside Tyler's Tap Room is the Speakeasy, a casual hangout for Carrboro and Chapel Hill denizens older than the average undergrad. The bar's main room has three full-sized pool and foosball tables--but in true speakeasy fashion, a large lounge in back provides amazingly comfortable seating. A large projection television draws crowds in to kick back and watch the game.

Insider Tips
Know Before You GoGet a coffee right next door at the Open Eye Cafe and bring it in. If (and only if) the Tyler's kitchen is closed, you can also bring in food.
The ExtrasSunday nights feature Americana bands playing on the small stage, while UNC games on television and possibly Xbox on slower nights also make this a fun place that's off the beaten path.

It's rare to find such a place like the Speakeasy in what is general considered a 'college town'. The clientele is almost as diverse as it's beer selection, which usually features 12-15 different kinds on tap and probably about a hundred more in bottles. If you are looking for recreation while you booze, look no further, as three pool tables, a foosball table, video golf, and video bowling are there for your entertainment. The digital jukebox has thousands of songs from all walks of life and if you just feel like chilling out, there are plenty of couches in the backroom. Local music is also featured at least once a week. It is very soccer friendly as a lot of the staff support EPL clubs and usually has Fox Soccer Channel on in the backroom for soccer nuts like myself. Food is available whenever serving in the adjacent restaurant, Tyler's. The only negative is that it can be smoky at times, but if it starts to bother you, you can always go next store to Tyler's, which is smoke free. Cheers.
Pros: Beer selection, comfy, soccer friendly, plenty of recreation, diverse crowd
Cons: Smoky at times

for awhile. This place can tend to be crowded on the weekends, but there is ample room to move around. There are three pool tables in the front and a small bar area. In the back are numerous couches and big comfy chairs to kick back and relax in and enjoy a good conversation, cold drink, and an unhealthy cigarette (or three). The crowd is diverse. There are college students, but more of the more interesting ones. The is a good hipster crowd here as well. There are a great number of different beers on tap which is nice too. This is a great place off the beaten path for drinks, conversation, and mingling.
Pros: Atmosphere, Crowd, Back-room seating
Cons: Too smokey for some
