I drink regular straight Crown religiously, tasted watered down or something. Went somewhere else to get a Crown thinking maybe it was me, it wasn't

Came up here on a thursday with the intent of singing sone karaoke. The selection was one of the worst i’ve ever seen. The dj had the audacity to have a TIP JAR up here. With a horrific selection as you have, the LAST thing you should have up there is a tip jar!!! Sound was poor, selection was downright insulting, and the kitchen was out of service…… This was a total a d complete waste of my time…,,

Nice bar .bourbon prices are pretty high on selected bourbons.
Fun dive bar just off of ninth street. Darts, pool, and karaoke are all available there. The bartenders are super friendly and will go out their way to make sure you like your drink. Great place to hang.

One of the best burgers i ever had. Bacon jam was top tier. Their Cajun fries can not be slept on either. Nice atmosphere. I sat outside on these like rocking benches. It was cool.
For a tavern I guess it's not to bad. Wings were great.
Nice chill spot

So, I invited some of my friends I worked with to meet me here. None of us had ever been, but the reviews were pretty good, so why not? We came on July 26th. I loved the fact that they had pool tables and darts. The food.....we absolutely enjoyed it. That is the flavor I expect in a country bar setting. NOW, let me fast forward to this past weekend (Karaoke night) 11/10. Before I delve into it, a bit of background on my life. I have been around, worked with, and been a DJ literally since I was in my teens!! I am now 53. Music is still my ultimate enjoyment. So,I was absolutely looking forward to Karaoke night. And I must say, you all have the rudest, most disrespectful DJ that I have ever encountered in my over 30 years of music experience in the DJ industry!!! Any 5 star I would have given the Tavern is totally obliterated by the lack of people skills and respect that you guys hire to be your DJ which BTW isn't really DJ'ING. So, where I'm from, we would put our songs on paper, dj would rotate it out, we sing. But, in the midst of that, the DJ is also keeping the crowd entertained. So, anyway, I had never seen a Karaoke bar where you scan the QR code and put in your song. So, I did like I do on paper. I put two songs in online thinking it would rotate. So, he calls me up to sing, and immediately snaps at me for putting in two songs!! So, I'm trying to ask him the process of how it works seeing I had never been there on that night and he's like, "you need to read, the instructions are on the screen!" That was totally not my question. I had put in my other song because he deleted it out the system and it never came back around to me. Tons of people that came in after I got there and had been called up. I tried to then ask him how I would check the queue and he lashed out again with his disrespectful self!! Understand something, if you can't hire people with people skills, you shouldn't just hire the first available senior citizen that's tired of sitting at home and hates new people and being interrupted! He should have been grateful that new people wanted to add to the people count of your establishment which in turn, brings in revenue. Unfortunately, my first good experience has been dampened by your DJ and I won't be returning. I love music and people who love music. I am sure there is another spot here in Durham where the DJ personality matches his job description.
