If you want to sing karaoke you have to pay the dj 10 dollars minimum. The first time I paid 20 for my friend then the DJ played the wrong song. I brought it up and the dj acknowledged it and played the correct version, but it was pretty empty at that point. The second time I sang with 3 friends, however only one mic was working. I pressed the buttons multiple times, the mic was turned down by the dj. I also asked another patron who agreed the dj turned off my mic. If you don't tip, you won't be able to sing. Even if you tip, it still isn't guaranteed you'll sing or that they'll even play the right song. Your mic may or may not work. I was told we'd be next after the payment and still didn't sing for 5 more songs. No cash, only venmo. It's my mistake for having faith a second time, but I won't be doing that again. They play favorites with certain patrons, that much is clear as well. Very unfair and unfriendly experience. Go elsewhere for your karaoke needs.

Really want to love it which is why I've tried multiple times, but keep being let down
The bartender also prioritizes young 20 something's over 32 year olds apparently.

I like the outdoor patio. I will say it is much more enjoyable during the daytime/weekday.

Id probably review this a bit better if the way they handle karaoke wasn't so atrocious

We needed food late at night after taking our injured cat to the Dove clinic

One Star – I Was Attacked by Security for No Reason

I had a terrifying experience last night (July 11th) at SW 21st Karaoke Bar. Out of nowhere, a security guard physically attacked me without any provocation whatsoever. I was not causing trouble, I wasn’t drunk or being loud—I was simply trying to enjoy my night.

This was completely uncalled for, and no one from management did anything to stop it or even offer help afterward. I left shocked, hurt, and honestly afraid for my safety. I’ve never experienced anything like this in a public venue, and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.

If you value your safety and well-being, avoid this place. I’m filing a formal complaint and taking further action, because this kind of behavior should never be tolerated in any business, let alone one where people go to relax and have fun.

Erin, our waitress, was pretty rude the entire night for some unknown reason. We dropped quite a bit of cash and she stilled treated us like trash. Overall food and drinks were good though but service is what means the most in a restaurant like this and tonight's service missed the mark by a mile.

Great karaoke bar with good selection of drinks

Arguably one of the best patios in Portland! And the french fries are delicious. Perfect bar.

I had so much fun at this place! I was there for the karaoke!
