I usually have a good time here but it was really frustrating to have about 15 people in the whole bar and still wait 45 minutes for my song to appear on the screen. JUST TO WATCH THE DJ SING SEVERAL TIMES. I get the DJ wanted to sing but 45 minutes is a long time. It was still fun but I only sang one song and was there for two hours while the dj sang so many times. Not really fair to the guests at all.

My dad waited hours to go sing and when they finally called him up they pulled him off stage and said he couldn't sing because I had recently even though I had with out him. It's a waste of time if you really want to get up and go sing at some point, especially if it's Friday and it's busier.

This place has to be one of the most inviting places in all of Austin without a doubt without a question from the staff to the customers it's just that warm, southern friendly place that you can be yourself, no matter your race, creed color, ethnicity religion orientation this place seems to have acceptance of everybody. Candidly I am not one of the people that go looking for inclusive places, but this one I just have to say exudes, warmth and kindness. The drinks are fairly priced and absolutely unquestionably delicious!! They don't skimp on the alcohol and yet wrap in the flavors so that you are able to enjoy the night they never make any negatives about asking for water or anything like that. Now let's talk about the karaoke they have a number of regulars that have great voices and they cheer each other on in a positive receptive manner. I heard rock 'n' roll, Latin music gospel, cover band music music from the 60s 70s the 80s the 90s and all the way through to today. I cannot recommend the place more highly. It is just a wonderful, joyous location to go to.

This is not a safe place for women. The workers here are spineless. My girlfriend and I went here and there was another patron at the bar who claimed to have worked there in 2016/2017- and he wouldn't stop talking to us even after multiple, multiple attempts of asking him to stop.Eventually, because this man would not stop harassing us verbally, we asked him to stop again-more directly.At this point the other patron became angry. The bartenders got involved, who would not ask him to leave. We ended up leaving instead, after our first visit ever to this bar - would not recommend this crooked place. Bad vibes and bad people.

When I was there, I witnessed someone who claimed to be a previous employee, tell me and multiple others that he believed he should and could hit women when he chose to. When he was called out and attention was given to the situation, they handled it by letting him stay and doing nothing about the situation. I would avoid this bar if possible as it seems to be on the shadier side of local businesses.
