- Nela LichtscheidlNovember 18, 2013If you're looking for great fun and a ton of classic karaoke songs, then this is the place for you. Happy hour beer and karaoke make for a Friday night of fun.Upvoted Sep 20
- Happy hour until 8:00pm M-F, and Karaoke on Friday night. This is *the* bar to hang out and chill! King Kong Beers rock!
Come early for a table on Fridays and stay late for Karaoke. Keep your eyes open for Lil Jon sightings!
Andrew DollDecember 13, 2014No. Just...NO! 10 bartenders behind the bar. First took my card and put it in his pocket. Tried to order another drink...another bartender took it to someone else, then asked what I wanted. S**T!!
Mike ClaunchNovember 18, 2011Great place to go if you want to get smashed after work ... Gets real weird in there- Morgan ThomasMarch 6, 2012Great happy hour, park in garage across the street, and try to use the jukebox.
Karaoke on Friday nights is a must for anyone who enjoys dive bars and embarrassingly bad renditions of the greatest hits.
Kaz the bartender is great! Quesadillas are small but tasty.
Melissa CoughlinMarch 31, 2009Amazing HH specials including GIANT mug of shitty beer for 2.50. 5-7pm
Aaron MosbyMarch 27, 2009Go to Recessions, order a "Kong" and sit in the back room behind the 1984 style big screen TV
Thought the food would be shit since its so cheap, but its actually palatable..not great, but not deathly either.
Stagger LeeMarch 26, 2009Just go and drink until karaoke sounds like a good idea. You don't have to DO it...
