What an awesome place, if the locals would just allow for tourist to come in and have a good time. Half of the bar is clicky, and when you go in there, they all shoot you sour looks because they’re locals. I would not recommend this place if I’m traveling.

I would not recommend this place if I had to put it down as a destination. I am looking for multiple locations to go hang out other than this place. Terrible, terrible customer service.

It's suprisenly, great stop! When you arrive in an outside stipmall, you would not expect such a nice bar. There are many cozy areas to hang out. Check out out!

Giving a fair review - the reason I chose this place was when I researched the bar, I was looking for black owned. It’s BHM, and it was important to frequent a cultured establishment. The owner may not be there during certain times, but there were also no POC servers.Glad I stayed and we ended up having a great time. The bar folks or normies were awesome and the karaoke was fun!!I believe the 2 ladies that helped were Tasha and Mickey (blondish, pig tails and glasses)?? Both were great!

The food is okay, nothing really special. The service is ok, they do well enough considering they seem understaffed. The karaoke is a joke. If you're not a regular or friend with the hostess, don't even bother trying to sing.

Over the years (pre-Covid and post-Covid), I have been to this location a handful of times. The staff is always friendly, and friends/co-workers often bring up this location when thinking of where to grab a drink/food for a night of karaoke or trivia. I've personally never tried anything but a drink, but pleasantly surprised they had some vegetarian options if I find myself wanting something. It's a comfortable atmosphere with a decent amount of seating. I'm sure I'll be back in the future!

Vibes were pretty chillaxed, bartender Jake kept our drinks full, and the entertainment went with the music. I recommend checking it out for a chill night out.

Cheap drinks, good vibes, and fun games. We played shuffle board here and it was a good time.

Grilled wings are good. Service (when not a weekend zoo) is great. Ambience is good. But if you're a karaoke fan ... here comes the big BUT ... karaoke has gone in the tank! The collection is lousy. What was supposedly supposed to be Chris Stapleton's 'Tennessee Whiskey' was some poor quality Nutech karaoke version with a female chorus in the background and pathetic music. Certainly not a Karaoke Version or a PartyTyme rendition quality. And, for another example they only had a single Morgan Wallen song ... even though at least 10 have been released between Karaoke Version and DC karaoke. Also, very aggravating, no way to review their song list. You have to turn in a slip and then they let you know if they have the song. Very, very poor for a karaoke bar. I will say the KJ was friendly and tried her best to make up for the short comings. A patron told me that several months ago the drive with their karaoke songs had crashed and the selection was now less than half of what it had been. Hmmm, did whoever was in charge think about backing up the whole collection a couple times because a crash is always just around the corner. C'mon Monkey Pants, get your act back together!

Came to dinner with friends. Had some drinks. They enjoyed karaoke. There were some talented singers. ?My only problem, I was charged twice on my debit card. Still waiting to hear back from the manager.

The food was surprisingly good, we got buffalo wings, cheese curds, and naked fries. I’m a huge fan of fresh cut, french fries, and these really fit the bill. On accident one of our kids left his wallet on the chair and the bartender/waitress ran out to our car and gave it to us with all of the money intact! You don’t see that kind of honesty much anymore as we were about ready to get on a plane, it’s worth a stop! Sidenote, it was beautifully decorated for Christmas. It must’ve taken them days.

New Years Eve. One server. One cook. Arrived at 7:40 pm, 2 orders of fries and a plate of wings still hadn't arrived by 10:45 pm and I was told it would be another half hour or more. Ended up leaving.
