Have been going here for years, recommend people all the time, have had private parties, and am a semi-regular for heavy karaoke nights. The atmosphere is always “meh”, KJs don’t seem to know how to queue songs in a way that either follows a logistical pattern or pays tribute to crowd management/entertainment value. Recently got kicked out for accidentally having my friend’s glass bottle not make it into the trash. Cleaned it with napkins by myself (OSHA hazard), and some barback acted like the world was ending while I tipped double my tab. Pathetic service, food is always mediocre, and atmosphere severely depends on more beloved bartenders. Overall, Austin has significantly better karaoke joints.
If you like to have fun and enjoy kareoke, dont go here. My friends and I came here, the bouncer said we were too drunk to come in when, we had just started the evening, maybe 1 drink in each. It was my first time in Austin and I was very disappointed. We were a group of 6 and not obnoxious but walked up laughing, giving the impression had been over served.
Really wanted to try Karaoke here for my birthday. Booked a room thinking more people were coming. Once I found out we weren’t gonna be that many people coming a tried calling to cancel but no answer. I finally got through and they told me without a 48 hour notice they have to charge for the entirety of the hours booked even though we weren’t gonna make it. We were actually planning on still going to karaoke here even without the room but that was too much money to take for nothing received. The worst part is no one disclosed the policy when I booked the room. Not the kind of disappointment you want on your birthday.
Went with my husband to celebrate his 60th birthday. Everyone had a really good time. The atmosphere was great and the food was really good! Our server Kay Lee was fantastic! Highly recommend!
Always a great place to go. Older mature crowd w some loyal regulars who come to sing and bless us w their vibes and voices. My go to place for 8 yrs now!
