This used to by my all time favorite bar and I would defend it as the best karaoke bar in Louisville for years.When I first started going 3 years ago, I’d go 2-3 nights every weekend to every other weekend I loved it so much. The last two years I’ve gone less but most times it was a blast. I even celebrated my birthday there twice, both times being amazing despite some sour moments with one of the KJ’s on the first birthday.That’s where the other shoe drops. This place is amazing until you get on a KJ’s bad side. To outline everything would be an endeavor, but I’ve been told I don’t tip when I’ll tip 20-25% (in cash) of however many songs I buy (on Venmo) which when I first started going would be 10-20 songs and then over the last two years 3-10. I’ve been told I can’t save tickets and to ask for a refund but then when I do that this same KJ will get upset and will even pull the refund out of their tip jar to make me look bad. The first birthday I celebrated there two years ago, the KJ made such a stink at the end of the night that following nights I would avoid her and sometimes would walk in and right back out if I saw the back of her head.Since that night I stopped asking for refunds on songs I didn’t sing but tried being positive, viewing those lost songs as an additional tip. On nights when I chanced her as the KJ I gave her the benefit of the doubt and had great times!It was clear she was trying to make up for how she treated me and I appreciated that. I hoped she also noticed that I didn’t ask for refunds and that I was tipping via Venmo so she could see the tip or would make it very obvious by putting cash into her tip jar.Apparently she didn’t. Because the last time I went this past January, she yelled at me again. She skipped a song I’d had up on the screen and didn’t call my name. I had a bad habit of disappearing to Spinellis or checking out other bars and then coming back so I figured she assumed I went home for the night, “no big deal!” I thought. So I tried letting her know I was still there by saying “I noticed you skipped my song, I just wanted to let you know I’m still here!” She took that the wrong way and got defensive and proceeded to literally yell at me. She said she “always tries to do right by me but never seems to get it right.” She said I “give her anxiety just be being there” and I “make her want to go home.” Keep in mind that for the last two years since the birthday incident, I made it a point to avoid her and when I did see her wouldn’t complain or ask for refunds and that this night in particular, I was having a great time!Admittedly, I shouldn’t have disappeared as much as I did, and I shouldn’t have bought songs in bulk or put requests in bulk. Maybe I should’ve made it a point to really let her know there were no hard feelings after the birthday incident.But while I was wrong in some ways and perhaps entitled in other ways, regardless, I didn’t deserve her yelling at me and I didn’t deserve her insinuation that I don’t tip when I do and that I always complain when I complained one time on my birthday two years ago and haven’t since.While she did come up with a solution that I felt was fair. I found out later from a friend of mine who’s a regular there that she was talking bad about me to him and he felt she was trying to get him to talk poorly of me as well.I also went yesterday and couldn’t help but notice the staffs demeanor towards me had changed so I can only assume she did the same thing on that front.Suffice to say, I won’t be back. I doubt I’ll be missed, but I’ll always remember the wonderful nights I had.Farley, you were the best bartender ever. You were there my first night and you’ve remained consistent every time since.Shaye, I loved singing duets with you and every time you were the KJ I had such a blast, I’m glad you were the KJ on my second birthday! You always made me feel special and I’m gonna miss you.There are others I could shoutout but this review is already long and some of those people have since moved on. Goodbye Norae.

Expensive drinks and the song selection isn’t the best. Got a great discount by reserving online!

The drinks weren’t great, I generally don’t send back food or drink but I had to send my first- and only drink back. Security was also rude to my husband for “barging in” yet wasn’t manning the door.

We just celebrated my daughter’s 9th birthday party in the main room and it was the best party we have had to date! The owner and staff were so friendly and accommodating! They offer clean versions of popular songs for the kids to sing and have an easy way of allowing self service for karaoke requests! And the adults enjoyed the bar while watching the kids sing! I would highly recommend using Norae for your private events!

The service at the bar was good. It didn't take long to get a drink. VERY small (not strong) drinks for pricier than they should be. The venue also felt cheap for the cost. We did not do a private room, so I can't comment on those. They charge $2 per song in the general space which was surprising. The mic volume was low and the place was loud. Not my vibe, so I won't visit again.

Went last night to celebrate a birthday! We had an amazing time. You do not have to rent a room to enjoy yourselves. Everyone on the open floor is very social and supportive of anyone on the stage. Everyone sings along and it was just such a great night. Cannot wait to go again! The drinks were good too!
Cherish Puckett
While this place is so fun because everything about karaoke is a blast, the staff was quite questionable throughout the entire night. I was charged $16 for a 2oz pour of basil Hayden, when friends of mine asked for different drinks because their menu drinks were truly gross- the bartender was condescending and even more rude although my friends weren't offensive as we all work in the service industry. The wap drink tastes like barbecue sauce and gasoline. It's $2 per song to sing and they charged my friend $34... not impressed by how much they got over on us this night..
If you like to sing, get your little buns up there and pour your heart out! A go-to spot for my brother. I will occasionally embarrass myself as well if im feeling froggy.
