My Sister's Place is more than just a bar; it is a cherished local establishment in Carlisle, drawing in a crowd eager for good food and great company. Opened several years ago, it quickly established itself as a favorite hangout spot for locals and newcomers alike. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, reminding visitors of a friend's living room rather than a typical bar.

The interior boasts a mix of wooden tables, bar stools, and memorabilia that make the space feel alive. Food here shines, especially on weekends when burgers, such as the popular Wildcat Cheese Burger, steal the spotlight. Peak times occur on weekends, especially Saturday at 9 PM when the bar buzzes at full capacity. The bar thrives on community support, becoming a hotspot for social gatherings, and sporting events.

During the week, the bar facilitates friendly lunchtime get-togethers for both regulars and office workers alike. A rich variety of meals caters to every preference, including vegetarian options like house salads. When it comes to drinks, patrons can indulge in refreshing seltzers and regional beers, with prices that won't break the bank. Notably, families will appreciate the kid-friendly menu alongside adult options, making it a cherished spot for parents looking to enjoy a meal out with their children.

My Sister's Place excels in creating lasting memories with every visit, fostering connections as strong as its signature fried cheese curds. With consistent hours throughout the week, the bar balances its bustling peak times with quieter visits during lunch hours. Regulars enjoy a good deal, often returning for Sunday lunches to beat the crowd while still savoring delectable dishes.

Customer Reviews

Stopped here after flying in from Seattle (I am a small town Iowa native). It was exactly what I expected and needed it to be to welcome me home. We only got moderate stares from the locals lol. Service was hit or miss but nothing terrible. Food was fantastic and fast once we got someone to take the order. Solid joint with a Tiki vibe.

I've been here a few times over the years when I find myself in Carlisle. This was the first time I had their food and was pleasantly surprised! The bartender was also our server and she was wonderful! Very attentive and made us feel so comfortable. I kind of felt weird bringing my in-laws to a bar to eat but the vibe is totally different during the day. The food was great! Highly recommend!

We came here on the way to the airport as a quick lunch and we were pleasantly surprised with the inside because of how it looked on the outside I had so much charm and the food was excellent

We were looking for a new place to go today for lunch and was so pleasantly surprised by this place! We had the bacon cheese fries for an appetizer and I ordered the steak sandwich for lunch. Both were great! My son ordered the BLT and they did not skimp on the bacon. My daughters mini corn dogs were over cooked but the waitress immediately removed them from our bill. If you are from Iowa you only what "bar ranch" is and My Sister's Place has great bar ranch! Menu isn't big but the atmosphere is fun and we enjoyed the selection of family games to play. Looking forward to our next trip out.
