For those of us on the flip side that work nights, it's a great place to have a cocktail or two after a difficult night. Code named "church " join us at 8 am, plus Art makes a mean bloody Mary .
Love this place, but it would be awesome if they got a monitor so you could actually hear yourself singing versus hearing all the drunk people singing along. GREAT song selection nonetheless.
Relaxing atmosphere , great morning bartender !
Best time for Karaoke : mid-week if you actually want to sing, Friday & Saturday if you want to laugh at drunk people singing
Super fun and it hasn't changed (In a good way) since the last time I was here 6 yrs ago. Took forever to sing, but still fun
Great Karaoke night! Cash only which I really liked.
Clean Bar , excellent show :)
Cash bar , come around 10:30pm which is when the karaoke really gets going.
Go to Lamplighter before 10 pm and hang for a while until the DJ sings The Girl is Mine with his buddy! It's the best duo I've seen and it's also hilarious!
Bloody Mary is a can’t miss. Cash only .
If you want to sing karaoke put your name on the list right away.
Cheap drinks and they open at 6am for all you alcoholics !!!
Cash only ! Be sure to always bring cash!
Charger Headquarters!!! Big screen with sound every game
Cash only w/ATM inside. Daily karaoke after 9pm, but get here early to put your songs in for rotation.
Fun and low key on weeknights. The DJ is fun to listen to. I would definitely return.
Be sure to TIP the DJ if you want to sing!! Otherwise you might get skipped..
Go to Lamplighter and sing Faith if you're on your own or The One That I Want if you're with a partner. Reward yourself with a beer or twelve.
Ask for Russ...he is the best bartender . He will treat you right.
Grab a drink and sing away
Ive been to better karaoke places . The versions of some of the songs were not like the originals.

Get here before 10pm so you can get your name on the rotation!
Jess the day time bartender is awesome!
Weekends with Jessica, can't be beat!!!!
This place is amazing especially Friday through Sunday
Don't sit by the bathroom . It smells like fart.
What I've learned here is gay black guys are the best at karaoke .
Look for ale garza to be spitting out some awesome tunes here
never go on fri/sat if you want to sing.
Wings are excellent. Not sure if Teriyaki or Thai is my fav - Marci Watkins
