I am giving one star because the woman who runs karaoke went out of her way to be rude to my friends and me. We arrived 2 hours before closing and put in our names to sing. She flat out said "no" to our song choice and then rudely pointed to her sign explaining where to find songs. We should have left then. Four of us signed up to sing and waited. We watched as her friends got to sing over and over again. We watched our names show up on the screen and then disappear. It was finally time for me to sing and she said there was no more time for anyone, but she allowed her friend to get up and sing one last time. It's been a week and I'm still angry about it. read more

This place is a dump. I went on a Thursday, it was dead and everyone there was smoking. I had a sore throats for days afterward. The karaoke DJ was awful, rude, and only had old music. read more

This is by far the worst Karaoke place I have ever been to. The KJ said she was in a 'bad mood' when she finally got things started at 9:45. I guess we should have taken that as a bad sign but we submitted our song anyway. We were the first to submit our song, but four songs later when I still hadn't sung we decoded to just leave. I don't think it was a coincidence that all the singers were regulars with whom she was on a first name basis with. I usually am very generous with the tips. My tab is equally big. The 11/12 Lounge can confirm that. But Big Daddy's will never know. read more

Dive Bar in Orlando that I visited at the recommendation of a bartender at Tap n Grind who said this was THE PLACE for karaoke. Prices on drinks are good and the bartenders are generally friendly. Karaoke wise, DJ Di was probably the rudest karaoke DJ I have ever interacted with. Don't even think of bringing up two song requests because she will chastise you for trying to keep others from having a turn. Yeah. Ridiculous. What kind of karaoke only allows one song per person per night???? It's not like Karaoke only is for one hour and then it's last call... read more

It's one of Winter Park's oldest Karaoke DIVE bars and very locally driven. The don't free pour and it's $13 for a patron shot. Their beer selection is okay but expensive. It's really smokey (they need to replace the smoke eaters from 30 years ago). And you can't wear designer tank tops. The bouncer won't let you in. That's a joke considering it being a dive bar and not a club. Some of the bartenders are cool as hell tho. That's what makes it worth 3 three stars. read more

Surprisingly, this is one of the few places in Winter Park you can count on to be lively an night of the week. Big Daddy's is always open late, and you'll never find it empty. A great karaoke place, whether you want to participate or just watch. The crowds are always friendly, and I've seen some top notch performances. Overall a fun option if you're looking for something a little out of the ordinary, as long as you're ok with the fact that cigarettes are allowed inside. read more

I attempted to join a few friends at your bar last night and was turned away at the door for wearing a tank-top. Apparently a few other friends of mine have experienced the same issue. The thing is, apparently women are welcome to enter your establishment with tank-tops. Even my female friends thought that was pretty sexist -- so if I had big tits, I'd be able to dress how I please? Your unnecessary rule doesn't compliment your atmosphere, and your UFC-shirt-wearing bouncer was snarky and rude about the entire process. Over the years, I've shelled out ridiculous amounts of money to your establishment and I considered it a frequent haunt of mine for years. To be turned away simply because I chose to wear a sleeveless shirt in your scorching-hot bar is equal parts embarrassing and insulting. You are a karaoke bar, a place of self-expression. Having a strict dress code nullifies the very purpose of Big Daddy's. For the sake of avoiding future embarrassment in a place I've enjoyed on countless occasions, I will be taking my business elsewhere until I can dress like I'm out to have fun. read more

This place is dark and smokey, and has the most expensive beers I've ever seen. And I'm not talking about high-quality expensive beers that you'd find at the craft beer parlour across the street.... I'm talking about a $6 Guinness. I was happy that they had a couple good beers (Bell's 2-Hearted, Left Hand Milk Stout, etc.) but the prices and environment just were not enticing. Definitely won't be back. read more

I normally love big daddies but tonight was a Wednesday night and I put my name in to sing and the was the 3rd person in line to put their name on the list. I waited an hour and a half and was never called. Three different people plus the dj sang twice and I still wasn't called. I guess it's the dj but I've never had the issue before. read more

Don't bother going to this establishment unless you want to be treated like absolute shit. There are far more places where you can get service not feel like you're a piece of shit and get a decent amount of service including good drinks. I am a bartender myself and would never in a million years treat my patrons like I have been treated here. If you want abhorrent service I recommend going to Dicks where their service motto is treating you like such. Hate doesn't even reach the tip of the ice berg. Spare yourselves. read more

So smokey. Every time I go I'm coughing for days because of all the smoke I've inhaled. This is why I've decided not to go back again.

Free pool all day Saturday with $2.50 cent Busch Lights. If you don't like smoke, steer clear, can get a little hazy inside. Friendly staff and now serving liquor make it a popular hangout in the trendy Audubon District. Don't go there very often, but when I do--always had a good enough time to come back. read more

I love big daddy's! I do not sing karaoke, not yet anyway, but I love to go and watch everyone else! I also like the dive bar feel. When I open my bar I want it to be just like big daddy's (except I will also serve liquor)! read more

Love the karaoke, especially Dj Di on Tuesdays and Saturdays! I go Tuesday's because it's less smoky and service is better. Dewey and Christy always treat me and my friends well. read more

Great beer selection, friendly staff and the karaoke participants were surprisingly good. Great spot to have a beer and catch up with friends. read more

Fun neighborhood bar, very friendly staff and fun bartenders. Saturday nights offer karaoke which I didn't realize when we stopped by and it a lot of fun to watch. The host was cute & hilarious (and she had a great singing voice!) I had 4 topshelf drinks for 3 hours we were there and only walked out with a $25 bill - between that and the entertainment, couldn't beat it! read more

The bar is awesome but DJ Di is a very biased person. I was with a group of people and one of them wanted to sing for his girlfriends birthday and she said the song was the last song (our friend was next) and then she has her what seemed like friends sing 3 songs!!!!! Seriously. .. we waited all night for that.. this place is great but DJ Di is one bias you know what. read more

This place is a good time especially if you're into karaoke. But they get a 5 star for staying open a little longer after closing time so that I could get my gf's cell that was left. Dj Di is entertaining and is a music encyclopedia! I've always had fun anytime I've visited this place. read more

Look. I'm still at this bar. The staff and bartenders are semi - friendly, and the environment is solid. This review is strictly for the karaoke c*nt who works Saturday nights. I walked up, pretty damn drunk and excited to sing. I asked how I can give her my song. She rolled her eyes and pointed to a sign with her website that has every song listed. I thought, "Okay, this woman is strange but true to her brand." I fucking guessed thay she'd be nice when I gave her my song (Michael Mcdonald - I Keep Forgetting, because of course), and made another weird notion when I handed her my ticket. I said, "I'm gonna tear the house down!" Now, I realize this is a silly proclamation, as I know I'm not the best singer, and this lady has probably seen a lot of crappy singers. But, this woman rolled her eyes AGAIN, and said, "hunny, this place has seen so many great singers in the 25 years I've been doing it, I doubt you'll make anybody excited." Okay, lady. You work as a career karaoke host. Why wouldn't you be supportive for everybody who is giving you a (albeit shitty) job? I'm just trying to have fun, have a few laughs, and get out. Her vibe was so negative, I don't think anybody could have fun around her. What's her life outside of this place? (Brb, I'm gonna go sing this song...) I'm back. It went well like I said it would. I killed it, got all the b*tches, porked em all, then came back out in the dining room where I am now. And she's still under my skin. She's sitting there, puffing an e-cig, like Jabba the Hut on a peace pipe, just moving along with her night, and ultimately, her shitty life. I feel bad, so I'll finish. Don't talk to her, don't sing for her, and don't feed her. RUN AWAY! RUN FAR AWAY! read more

Fun little dirty hole in the wall bar. Had a blast with karaokee and the drinks were cheap and fast

The karaoke was a bunch of fun. Not competitive but certain people had some serious talent. Games and drinks were good. Only bad part was the smell. I'm fine with smoking indoors but this was so POTENT that I could barely stand it. Open a door for a few hours or something! read more

Been here several times... Smokey dive bar that features karaoke. No liquor. Beer/wine only. Almost always packed for karaoke but fun!

What happened to this place? I went in yesterday (Sunday Oct 7 2012) and the place was dead during the one o'clock football games. I was confused because other places around it were crowded. I then noticed the one group that was in the building and wondering if there was a bartender. I saw a couple sucking face at the bar and then realized that the reason I wasn't getting served - she was the bartender! Clay Mathews jersey chick making out with some Polumalu looking dude and they wondered why they were empty. Place smelled like urine, vomit, and like the bar could use a nice cleaning. A few fruit flies. Horrible service, then she was rude, then she told me (after serving the beer) that it was a $10 minimum to use a credit card. I drank up and left singing the Paul Leka stadium anthem Na Na Hey Hey [goodbye].... read more

Fun karaoke. Love this area of town. But, OY! The smoke! I hope they invest in some smoke-eaters!

Do not attempt to go to this bar and saying! Horrible horrible host who only lets her friends sing! No new singers are allowed to go up until she's ready for them! If you are not in the click avoid this bar! read more

This is an amazing place. I love it. I have been there with quite a few friends and even though we may not know others, they are always open and friendly. Love the Karaoke d.j. he is awesome. Love the tenders, they are amazing. The fun loving part of life is here honey. So glad I was introduced to this place. read more

While it is incredibly smoky, near to the point that it's intolerable, the fact that I can go sing pretty much whatever I want whenever I want makes me happy. I'm a longtime fan of this place and I love Dirti Di! read more

Oh come on folks, it;'s a bar that allows smoking so expect some smoke. I have been going to Big Daddy's for years and I don't go anywhere else. I love Friday nights with Jack (the greatest voice around) and he is fair when you get to sing. Everyone gets a chance and I never leave unhappy! Kimmie runs a great place that I call my local Karaoke home. read more

Stale,smokey smell. If they put some money into the place it might come up to a dive. UNBELIEVABLY EXPENSIVE! Goose Island draft $7, Walker Red Double $16.50, Chivas $ double $23!!!!! Add a tip and it becomes ridiculously expensive. Be prepared to take a shower when you get home. read more

I have had many great experiences at this place, however, I'm forced to give it a bad rating for the lack of AC and way over priced beer.

When I came to Orlando a year and a half ago on vacation, I googled karaoke, And this place was the first to pop up! Well I decided to go, and let me tell you, I loved it!! The manager who I know now to be as Trish, came over to me, with a huge smile, and asked me, what I'd like to drink! She ran me a tab, not knowing me, as it my first time walking in the place! She was so sweet! When I cashed out, my tab was only $29.00! But because she trusted me, not to walk out,I gave herr a $50.! I ended up moving here from New York, and became a regular! (3 times a week)! spending not only $40..to get there, but an additional 60/70 dollars on Drinks!! And that's only because of Trish!!, the place was sold to a guy named Frankie shortly after, and had been going downhill since, but I still went because of that little redhead I now call my friend! Trish was fired several weeks ago, for something she never did! And is now being bad mouthed by the other staff members!! I think it's pretty crappy,that the one girl that brought in 90% of the business,was the one to get fired by a drunken owner,and the girls that are always drunk behind the bar get to continue to stay! I don't know how they can look themselves in the mirror everyday! I will never spend another red cent in that place!!! Good luck! read more

I have not been going there for a long time. But, it the best when it comes to friendly people, non discrimination of whoever you may be. There is pool, darts, games and cheaper than most places in town. There is also a jute box that most people use. The singers clearly range from just like to sing all the way to professional. And all have a good time, even if the voice is not all that great. You can watch the news or sports because the TV's are set to many different channels. The beer list is too expansive to list. No food menu but the restaurant next door will deliver and the staff will make the order for you. BUT the best part of Big Daddy's is the extremely personable staff. They go out of their way to be sure you have what you want and you definitely will want what they have. read more

Fired Trisha for some stupid reason. Patron makes a comment and other bar tender hears it and runs to tell that she was the one to make the comment. SO they fired her. WTF read more

I agree with Michael W. and Lauren E. This place is a dump but seemed like a regular spot for locals but the shady kind. The parking sucked although I got lucky. If you smoke it is no problem here. The service sucked. It was a weekday there was only one waitress handling everyone and I was told that she was also the "bouncer". Are you kidding me. Some guy spilled their drink on my foot "by mistake" because I was not interested and what was that petite waitress going to do? Please! I went for the karaoke but even if you have been buying drinks it doesn't matter the karaoke host will keep you and others waiting over an hour to go up to sing. This can be because if a group of people that came together put themselves on the list they will end up going up more then once even if they used other people's names, They seemed to be really familiar with the karaoke host so this could also be the reason. But it was ridiculous. And even if there was a long list of people why would the host sing???? It was a joke and I have been to better places and have no intentions of ever stepping foot in that dump. read more
