This place CAN be fun if you have a full wallet. DJs won't play your song unless you tip them. Big. #GreedyAssholes
Sound system was great and a big book with plenty of options for karaoke . Creepy second floor location well worth it!
Fun place for drinks and karaoke !
Try and get there before 10pm if you're looking to sing anytime soon without dropping some serious cash into the tip jar. That said, it's worth the wait!
Most disrespectful experience I've had with a bartender , who come to later find out is also the owner. If I could give zero stars, I would. Don't plan on singing either if you don't pay for your song .
Come early and sign up, the waiting list fills up fast (but you can always tip the KJ to get bumped up a few spots).
Great place to come sing your heart out! Very welcoming environment.
Technically it is a gay bar but usually just because I am here.
Get there early to get the most stage time. Also, don't forget to tip the DJ (KJ?)
Don't plan on singing if you don't tip. It's all about the Benjamins with the guys running the show...
The DJ here is SUCH a dick. It's 7pm, nobody is here and he won't take more than "1 song ". #ControlFreak
The well is, well , VERY cheap . You WILL have a hangover the next day.
Friendly bartenders
bar karoake. a great time!
Dark old local dive bar , looks sketch as hell lol
This place sucks. Been here for 2 hours and the same group of people took the stage 4 times and we didn't get to go. We felt frustrated and left. I recommend spending your time and money elsewhere.
Be advised: cash only
The Lemon Drops at Encore are to die for!!
Be prepared to drink: karaoke is only for people who buy drinks at the bar and there are no alternatives if you want to sing .
Finally open again!!!
Matt is a treasure, he makes you sound great
Seedy as fuck
Don't every go here!!!!! A group of friend were hassled, and eventually assaulted by the bouncers. It's not a safe place.
Cash-only dive bar karaoke
Fun crowd, good music , awesome bartenders , pissy DJ's
The regulars have the world's worst taste in songs .
Good luck getting to sing here if you are not a regular.
Sing Stroking' by Clarence Carter.
Regular thursday night hot spot
The songbooks are moldy
Drink a few before you step up to the mic.
