    If 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.

    No. 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!!

    Karaoke on Friday nights is a must for anyone who enjoys dive bars and embarrassingly bad renditions of the greatest hits.

    Just go and drink until karaoke sounds like a good idea. You don't have to DO it...
