About Us

Our Story

Located in the heart of Black Rock, the restaurant is owned and operated by Joe Farrell and Sean Nye—two hospitality professionals with deep roots in the neighborhood and a shared history behind the bar and on the floor.

Carpenter’s Pub is built on those combined experiences, but it’s not about looking backward. It’s about creating something that feels right for today: elevated comfort food, a welcoming room, and a commitment to doing things the right way. That means cooking without seed oils, artificial flavors, artificial colors, or high fructose corn syrup—not as a trend, but as a standard.

For Joe and Sean, coming back to Black Rock isn’t just a business decision. It’s a return to a community that shaped their approach to hospitality—and a chance to build something lasting, once again.
