Love this place! The size is good, there's a front area with the stage and a (smaller) dance floor along with most of the seating, and there's a back area (without speakers in it so it's somewhat quieter) with the bar and some more seating. The staff are great and the food I've had is also good and pretty cheap, too!

As for Karaoke they've got a good selection and you can check it out through the Karafun app to see their catalog (you don't need to log in to the app or make an account, it's just an easy way to view their catalog). The karaoke machine and microphones are good and they have quite a few TVs up around the front area so everyone can see the lyrics, etc. (the TVs are a bit fuzzy but it's not like we're watching a movie on them 😆), as well as a good number of speakers so everyone can hear your amazing(ly terrible?) voice!

Love this place!!!

Parking: Normal Chicago street parking, wooooo!

They cater to their regulars and don’t give new comers a chance. Certain staff has guard up immediately based on your outer appearance. When it got busy it was clear you have to slip the DJ $ to get your turn despite your talent, place in line, or birthday celebration (that gave them lots of business) Clearly they cater to certain demographic and new business or fair practices is not welcomed. I’ll karaoke with my friends at home in the future. 3 stars for wings, polite bouncer, and bartenders.

First time there and it's My Birthday we put a slip in requesting to sing me and my family and everyone song 4 to 5 songs getting called over over same people and we never got called and I came in at 8 when they started karaoke and we put our slips in and didn't get called at all I don't think they ever had any intention on calling us up to sing i won't be returning back its outdated it could use some touching up.

This place can use some serious renovations. It seems to be out dated. The smell of old mothballs and cigarettes with a splash of OLD SKUNKY BEER is in the air. I was there Wednesday nite and the Bartender was rude and very unprofessional the drinks were just as bad as Bartenders attitude. And that was extremely BAD....
Long story short don't waste ur Time or a Dime. I give this place two thumbs down👇🏿 and 8 fingers down 👇🏿. A negative -10🛑🚨🚑

Was a good experience until the DJ opened his mouth. One of rudest people I have ever met and is the reason we will never come back. Constantly talking down to people and yelling at them. Ruined the whole night and experience.

Decent local bar but karaoke is a loaded dice… you can put a song in and wait for hours while the same basic people sing 10 songs each ahead of you
