If you're looking for great fun and a ton of classic karaoke songs, then this is the place for you. Happy hour beer and karaoke make for a Friday night of fun.

Emma W

Giant beers good prices. Down and dirty fun place.

Amy Cummings

Dingy and divey—if you’re into that sort of thing.

WayneMan Comedy

Happy hour until 8:00pm M-F, and Karaoke on Friday night . This is *the* bar to hang out and chill ! King Kong Beers rock!

Maxie

Come early for a table on Fridays and stay late for Karaoke . Keep your eyes open for Lil Jon sightings!

arish

unequivocally the weirdest bar in dc. but worth it.

Andrew Doll

No. Just...NO! 10 bartenders behind the bar . First took my card and put it in his pocket. Tried to order another drink...another bartender took it to someone else, then asked what I wanted. S**T!!

Mike Claunch

Great place to go if you want to get smashed after work ... Gets real weird in there

Morgan Thomas

Great happy hour , park in garage across the street, and try to use the jukebox .

Can't beat the happy hour prices. Food is terrible.

Patrick Kerley

Karaoke on Friday nights is a must for anyone who enjoys dive bars and embarrassingly bad renditions of the greatest hits.

Meg Slachetka

Stay in the back of the bar ... less prison like

Aaron Mosby

Go to Recessions, order a "Kong" and sit in the back room behind the 1984 style big screen TV

Stagger Lee

Just go and drink until karaoke sounds like a good idea. You don't have to DO it...

Chris Stergalas

Thought the food would be shit since its so cheap , but its actually palatable..not great, but not deathly either.
