This was a fun little hang out.

This is hands down the most atmospheric karaoke bar I’ve ever been to! 💎

The vibe is electric, the crowd is alive, and every corner of the place just feels like music. What truly made the night unforgettable was the karaoke manager — incredibly warm, welcoming, and full of positive energy. They created the perfect environment for everyone to feel like a star. I didn’t want the night to end! If you’re looking for a place where music meets magic, this is it. 🫶

The upstairs area oh my God is so sexy and such an amazing place. If you’re meeting somebody off of a dating site, the upstairs area is fantastic for that. The lighting is dim you’ll always look beautiful. It’s fantastic.

Fun and funky. Great smash burgers. Super nice staff. Good vibes - we were there during karaoke, we were upstairs and couldn’t even hear the singing, on the way out found a very enthusiastic karaoke crowd.

This was a little gem to stumble upon!!! Initially we were a tad confused on how to get to the restaurant which was actually upstairs. RUN, don’t walk… to the smash burger!!!! YOU GUYSSSS….. best burger ever… with like homemade pickles? Amazing. The fries and crispy potatoes paired with the star of it all, AMAZING homemade ranch! And a pickle. I already can’t wait to go again!

What a beautiful, woodsy, whimsical upstairs surprise in this tiny spot. We wondered in here while waiting for our reservation at a nearby restaurant. While we waited we ordered an appetizer, one meal and four drinks. Service was kind and spot on with our orders. We enjoyed everything and made our reservation next door in time. Would recommend and would return.

Very accommodating for our large party. It was a shame they forgot my risotto so I didn’t get to eat dinner.

Eat with friends and then sing aloud the worst song you can think of. Great food upstairs and evening karaoke downstairs.

The first rule of karaoke is, you don't talk about karaoke. The second rule of karaoke is, you don't talk about karaoke. The third rule of karaoke is... If this is your first time, you have to karaoke.

We stopped here for drinks and apps while waiting for Duck Fat next door, and was pleasantly surprised with their offerings. Rotating local IPA's and cocktails on the menu. Fresh, local oysters are available here, and we also had their deep fried deviled eggs. Those were good enough to make me want to come back here for an entree sometime... We sat at a window area and didn't get to check out the inside too much, but it was comfy.

The East Ender is where we often land while waiting for a table at Duck Fat next door - who doesn’t take reservations and is always busy. The East Ender’s mixed drinks are decent but their food was much better than expected- the risotto, fries and slaw were excellent. In truth we ended up just using Duck Fat for fries and shakes. The East Ender wins on the variety of food options. Service was excellent. It has 2 floors so if karaoke is going on downstairs (small space, excessively loud) head upstairs for relief.
