I was visiting from Florida and initially, the vibe was great, but first impressions were off and while this bar was okay, the KJ and the bartenders made it uncomfortable. I've never been to a spot where the bartenders do karaoke before the patrons. It's Wednesday night, sure. At the same time customers should be in the driver's seat when it comes to karaoke, not the bartenders. Overall, I felt uncomfortable after the initial meet and greet. I would say, be careful...
I loved this bar. Good people, awesome music, thus PRICELESS times!!! They have karaoke for a PERFECT night!!! Even the bartenders sing their heart out. In the words of Radiohead, you ARE special!!! Also the place had DJ Mercedes who played the most nostalgic music. Between the Karaoke and Mercedes it felt like I was back in the 90's/2000's. (Imo we're the GREATEST times!!!)
On the outside, this bar looks very much like a dive bar, DO NOT PASS IT UP. Went there because another place was closed and decided to go in. Let me tell you this place is absolutely awesome. Beautiful inside, great service, fantastic drink, and food to die for. Will definitely be visiting this place again.
