Fun karaoke where you sing in front of everyone. It’s $5 cash for 2 songs or $3 for 1 song. There’s a 2-drink minimum. The chairs are a bit too high for the tables, and the cocktails aren’t great—definitely stick to beer. That said, the vibes are amazing and make the experience worth it. 🎤🍻

Don’t come here and go to any neighboring karaoke bars. Spoke with them in the week leading up and got confirmation we would have a DJ and availability if we were there at 5:00pm. This was to the point of texting them for the details and talking more in depth. Arrived to locked doors and no response after all of this even though they list opening at 5:00pm. Spoke with someone hours later and they didn't have any idea this was in place and didn't believe us. Don't come here and go to any karaoke bar nearby instead or anywhere else in the city. With their disregard to customers which fund their existence, don't waste your money. This was the worst service ever received.

Stay away. Called and received confirmation from them that they would open at 5 (when they open) and could accommodate a group. They confirmed the dj would be there to play music too. We showed up and nobody was there with windows covered. It completely derailed the night. Do not go here and do not trust them even if you speak with them.

I moved to SF a few months ago and Dimples has quickly become my and my roommate’s favorite place to go! Such a warm and intimate environment. Everytime I come in I know I’m going to have a fun night!!

Very rancid vibes in this place. They treated my group like they didn’t even want us there even though we were paying for songs and drinks. Also they acted like we did something wrong when we asked for water??? We also had to bribe them to play a song (that we paid for mind you!) because someone earlier in the night (before we even arrived) played that same song. We needed another table to accommodate our group and the waitress was throwing the chairs around and huffing like she was put out that guests needed a place to sit?? All around just terrible service.
ALSO what is with the very weird and cryptic sign warning “don’t get roofied”! Why would you need signage for that, are people spiking drinks there regularly??? It put me on edge. They also had a two drink MAXIMUM, which your policy is your policy but just fueled the strict, uncomfortable atmosphere of the place. Hands down the worst karaoke spot I’ve been to. They clearly don’t like or want customers.

The karaoke was fun and it seems that they have a good selection. Nicole, our bartender, was wonderfully attentive, nice, welcoming, and a reason to return

TL;DR - My friend was told to vacate his seat despite being on crutches, and the owner (?) was rude and did not offer another option. Bad business practice and possibly illegal.
My friends and I went to this bar for karaoke. We were sitting at the tables as we waited for our turn in the queue. Many of my friends were also buying drinks during our wait - we were paying customers.
Later into the night, the owner (?) lady came by and told us we had to leave our seats because we weren't buying any more drinks. I asked if my friend (who was in crutches) could get an exception and stay in a seat because it was difficult for him to stand for long periods of time. Owner (?) lady refused. My friend felt it was too tiring to stand on the side, felt disheartened, and decided he had to leave. This was completely unfair and most likely illegal under the ADA act. It left a sour taste in my mouth despite the otherwise fun karaoke session.
Mind you - I totally understand that you're a business, and I don't think it's unreasonable to want to make more money. If the expectation that we had to continue to buy drinks to stay in our seats was told to us beforehand, we would not have batted an eye. However, there were no signs and no communication between the establishment and my group that paying for karaoke was not enough to earn us a space in the business, especially since it appeared another couple (who also had a table and was doing karaoke) was not asked to move. Additionally, the way the information was communicated felt rude.
Some constructive feedback - just be clear about your expectations beforehand. If you are struggling to make money, which we all understand because SF rent is not cheap, then change your policies so that drinks are required to perform or have a seat. One part of being a good business is retaining customers, and you have most likely lost some tonight because of the way you made us feel.
Shout-out to the guy running the karaoke station though for being gracious about refunding our song requests. He should get a promotion.

not it. weird vibes and you have to pay to sing. $3 for one song $5 for two, but if you do the latter they bump your second song to the bottom. bartenders were super shady when I asked for water even after ordering drinks. sour energy
A cool little place with great people who come to sing and support each other. But it’s annoying that you have to pay for songs—feels like the future hasn’t reached them yet!

I wanted to like this place for a karaoke stage setting alone. But between the $20 credit/debit minimum for drinks, no ATM in the vicinity, having to pay cash for a karaoke spot and then watching the same KJ not bother to make it less blatantly obvious they were favoring people over others (could go an hour+ between song requests where others will go multiple times in that same period) I'm gonna hard pass on recommending this as an ideal karaoke bar.
Getting up on the stage is fun, but not worth all the bs to get there.
