LA Weekly

There's something about Backstage, which has stood directly across from Sony Studios for 70+ years- that begs for hell-raising. Try a 'Culver City Slut' or a 'Blowjob' (both drinks!) or sing Karaoke ! Read more

Best karaoke crowd in LA without question. Never pretentious and always a good time! Go Thursday night for the best of the best. Friday and Saturday the crowd changes a bit but still fun.

Vic Rattlehead

I've been a customer for over 5 years. I've taken friends and family here I've also become friends with the staff . However, the owner of this establishment is absolutely unfair. No go ever!

Henry Cuevas

No one has mentioned the nachos . The best in the area. Maybe the best anywhere!!! Chicken , beef , or veggie . Must have!!!

KCRW

What a perfect place to grab lunch with some friends on this lovely Friday afternoon! Support KCRW by flashing your Fringe Benefits card to get discounts off food and beverages.

Best karaoke in LA, great food, reasonable drink prices. Can not go wrong!!!!

eHow

Across the street from Sony Studios , and featuring its fair share of famous clientele, the bar boasts a casual interior and a laid-back vibe. It also features 130,000 songs in its growing catalog. Read more

On The Rocks

During Happy Hour , all you need to tell the waitress is "Buffalo wings , nachos , and (beer of choice)."

Brandi Kolmer

best dive bar in LA! arrive ealy thursday - saturday. follow then on Twitter because they usually Tweet a random drink special ($1 shots etc )

Manda Currell

Great happy hour deals . Not much else going for it

Vic Rattlehead

Also the place has very unfriendly servers who think they can all sing. With that being said the Veteran bar staff is the best on the Westside.

JoJo Jenkins

The Best Garlic Fries & my favorite cocktail is The Key Lime Martini !

Marcus Brown

Karaoke singers that don't drive before 10:30 will not have a chance to sing. So go elsewhere on Thursday Friday and Saturday.

Drew Holliday

Get there early if you want to sing. The list fills up fast.

Lebxican

Fun karaoke nights and stiff drinks! Carpet is super sticky tho. Ack.
