The Luse Lounge is the Madam Carroll’s new dockside “boat bar” operation aptly named in commemoration of Madam Carroll founder, Bill Luse Sr. and family. The lounge operates just like a normal bar, out of the Madam Carroll while she is dockside.
Simply head to the boat, make your way onto the vessel, and enjoy a cocktail on the water without worrying about cruise departure and return times. You don’t have to take a cruise to enjoy some brews! Our main lounge (the first main floor) is cool and equipt with AC for the summer and Heat in the winter, but feel free to explore the views from the rest of the boat including a shaded upper deck and a 3rd top deck with some amazing views!
