Im from out of town and went on a Saturday night for karaoke. It was unlike anything I've ever experienced. Whoever actually had the microphone was secondary because the entire bar of 50-75 people sang every song. Pure fun loving energy. I did not have any food, but the drinks were good and very well priced. I was shocked at the lower than expected tab at the end of the evening. Expect to have no voice the next day and for your smile muscles to be sore. Recommendations: have your vax card ready, they do check them at the door. Think of a few options of songs before you arrive, the wait list is a couple hours long and someone ahead of you may have already signed up for your first choice of song.

Awesome karaoke bar. Cheap drinks, friendly patrons. KJ was fantastic.

Relaxed atmosphere with separate spaces to enjoy food and conversation. Kareoke is easy to participate in, but not required. Outdoor seating too. So fun, great food, awesome barkeeps, my new fav haunt. Drawbacks? Not great if you need coffee...

Great vibe, super fun karaoke setup! A lot of bars don't have hot water which I find odd. So it was really nice to be able to get a hot toddy here!

The staff can be rude there. Asked for some napkins and one of the bartenders gave me a nasty look and threw a rag at me. Karaoke there is cool though.

Delicious frozen beverages!

Good place to hang out and have a drink.. good outdoor seating

Waitress had the worst attitude and energy. Pretty much looked like she hated her job. Got water spilled on my stuff too.Bad first expierence.

This place has signage that says all are welcome. Yet the bartenders display prejudice and blatant disrespect. I visited this spot last night after having dinner near by. Get to the bar, there’s 2 gents before me ordering, while waiting to order a white women enters waits by the bar. Once the 2 gents get their drink, the bartender skips me, and proceed to ask the lady her order. I reminded the server that I was waiting there before she entered. He goes “Oh, I didn’t see you there!”’ with a smirk and proceeds ask my order. Once fulfilling it, he goes to her and says “I’m so sorry about that!” I’m curious as to why she received any apology and exactly for what. Whenever a POC mainly black person advocate for themselves it’s and issue. If EVERYONE is truly allowed in this space then everyone should be given the same respect and service.

Great outdoor eating, fairly priced drinks, staff are very nice. Love this place.
