    As you can see the dance floor is empty on a Saturday night. Bad Dj!
    Yana S.

    Drinks are pretty good but definitely disappointed in their rude DJ. Wouldn't even hear my request and said "I know when to play my music". I AM the customer, not you buddy. Don't think I'll come back here for the dance floor. I was told I am not allowed on stage either, but no sign is posted anywhere?

    Chester's Reef is the best! Billards, darts and ping pong! Great tunes and the hottest bartender...thanks Kim! See you guys again soon!

    I came here with a group of 20 friends on a Friday night in May to celebrate a graduation, and…read moreoverall we had a great time! Tampa VIP Karaoke offers private rooms, which is perfect for bigger groups like ours. Just a heads-up: 20 people is definitely the max capacity, our room felt a bit tight. A big table in the middle took up a lot of space that honestly we could have done without, and the seating wasn't the most comfortable. Those were really the only downsides. On the plus side, the staff was fantastic. They made sure we were comfortable and even brought in an additional industrial fan at no extra charge when it got hot in the room from all the dancing and movement. That level of attentiveness really stood out. The setup is super easy to use since you control all the music from an iPad/ You-tube, and they kept us stocked with free water (pitchers from the bar), which we appreciated. Drinks were reasonably priced, and there were enough bathrooms, which is always important for big groups. It was a quieter night when we went, so parking wasn't an issue, but I can see it getting tight when they're busier. The bartenders and security were all kind and welcoming, our whole group (late 20s/early 30s, mixed guys and girls) felt very comfortable the entire time. We stayed for 4 hours, and it came out to just $16 per person, which is an incredible deal compared to other places in Tampa. For reference, we recently paid $36 per person at another karaoke spot with a smaller group for only 2 hours. Overall, a really fun and affordable night out, just be ready for a cozy room if you max out the capacity!

    This place is still absolutely incredible!…read more We love this place so much that it's now going to become an annual family Christmas tradition! Sound quality is great and the mics make everyone sound good. There was a crazy dubstep show going on at the same time so there were lots of friendly GenZ'ers in goth/fetish gear milling about. My only criticism is that the bathrooms are a bit inadequate for the massive crowds this place can sometimes pull!

Couple if locals were inside. Bar tender we had was a charming playful gentleman. Sense i came more for my company than the place, i chose to focus my whole being on them so I didn't take pictures. I will definitely be back to give it an honest full package review. They got karaoke, a pool table n a nice outdoor patio with privacy walls. I didn't go back out sense it really takes half of beer to get me drunk. I wasn't gonna flop like waffle into the floor. I think 2 hours in we saw more gentlemen come in and madams also. It is a nice chill spot. No drama, just a bunch of folks getting wrecked on the $15 drink all night special n singing karaoke. I never done karaoke but i promise i will next time. Ima bring my cat-girl super power out! How was the date? Definitely moving forward with the conquest! We after party n i got home around 3am lol so i had a blast. I will come back during pride to, want to see how Lakeland celebrates it. Do I recommend this place? Hell yeah! Lot of good looking dudes, fun staff, karaoke n pool tables. What else do u need? Take a drink n mingle my lovely's, have a blessed day n may the shenanigans goddess bless your miss adventures!! Xoxoxo

    I've never been to Lakeland, FL. My friend and I found this gay club on Yelp and we thought to give…read moreit a try. First and foremost I'm 60 years old. I've been to many gay establishments from Portland ME to San Francisco, CA. Upon arrival at 11:00pm the building looked dilapidated. The parking lot was dirt and the arrival experience gave an impression of being an unsafe area. The doormen we're welcoming and cordial. The bar tender was very nice too. Our Drag Show experience was constantly interrupted by a belligerent extremely intoxicated female patron as you can see below in the screen shot. She should have been escorted from the club and kicked to the curb. She was interrupting the show and harassing patrons to the point that we left 15 minutes after the show started. I understand it's a small club. It is what it is and serves the gay community in Lakeland, FL. Would I return? Possibly. Only if you put a muzzle on the belligerent drunk with the trucker mouth.

    Ooh-La-La! SOLID 5 STARS!…read more $5 house wine 4-6pm. Great eclectic Menu. Fancy service and a chef who knows his ingredients. You can't miss at LaLa. Started with Cabernet Sauvignon ($5). Then Charred Octopus Appetizer ($19). Then a superb Truffle Aioli Burger with Caesar Salad ($19). Finished with Crispy Brussels Sprouts ($9). Wing Man Gary (UASF Pilot, Retired) had the Grouper Sandwich ($16). I asked for my burger to be "So rare a good vet could save it." And that's exactly what I got. There was a large toothpick speared through the burger to prevent it from escaping. The flavors and textures were a real treat. Superb! Great meal for $90 including tip. Highly recommended. Choose to sit on the ground level with A/C or rooftop outdoor seating. Anthony did a great job waiting on us. Quick, on point, and only there when we needed him. Sorry about the pics. Forgot to take them before digging in so you can't see the wonderful presentation.

The food was solid overall, and the duck linguine was absolutely delicious--it's a unique pasta dish that really stood out from the usual options. I was also pleasantly surprised by how strong the kids' menu was, which made dining with a little guy much easier. The only downsides were that the drinks felt a bit pricey for what they were, and while the filet wasn't bad, it was the most disappointing dish of the meal and didn't quite live up to expectations.
