Great place to catch a Warriors game and spend time with friendly locals. Sammy is awesome.
We came there specifically for karaoke. I'm only giving 2 stars because the drinks were really good.
As someone who attends & hosts karaoke frequently, I love trying new spots when I travel. This is the WORST karaoke experience I've ever encountered.
First, we have to pay-per-song. That is a really sneaky way to force tips for the KJ (Karaoke DJ).
Second, he was SO lazy that if someone were to sign up for 5-10 songs in a row, they could sing every single one in a row. A true KJ makes sure a singer doesn't sing two songs in a row if there is a long list with multiple singers. It takes attention & common sense. It doesn't seem as if he incorporates either.
Third, even when we spoke to one of the people with 5 songs in a row in the queue and she said we could jump our song before one of hers because someone was leaving early & we had to drop them off at the airport, he STILL didn't move my song up.
All in all, the customers were fun & energetic, but the KJ was lazy, rude, unprofessional, & unaccommodating, even when all the other parties involved already agreed before approaching him. We ended up taking our money back & leaving early.
KJ's are some of the kindest & most professional people I've had the pleasure of meeting no matter where I am in the world. This was an extremely jarring & unpleasant experience. I won't be going back for the rest of my trip. I'll try to find a more welcoming karaoke bar.
Delicious drinks! Wonderful bartenders and validated parking.
Apparently they didn’t like me very much so they kicked me out 3 drinks in lol whatever I’ll never go back
This is my 2nd home!
