    One of the few places open on Christmas Eve ... AND Bingo to boot! Very cool staff and bartender working hard to ensure all of us were well served and had a great time.

    Over cooked
    Micki M.

    We were out on a bar crawl looking for a karaoke bar. We were in Old Roseville at a bar there but there was an MMA fight going on and it was noisy. So we did a quick search on Yelp and Jan's Lounge popped up. Now our friends had come here before and wanted us to check it out since we had never been. Plus, they serve food and that was a plus. The place is ok, it has a large bar and lots of tables and a decent stage area. We ordered our drinks and ordered food as well. The food did take some time and when our first order of chicken strips and fries came out, we were quite shocked. It was burnt and dry. Then my friends pepperoni pizza came out and that was over cooked! I ordered wings too and guess what? That was dry and over cooked as well. We all agreed the cook needs to change the oil because it tasted like it. Although we were bummed about the food, we were having a great time singing and playing shuffleboard. Everyone was having a great time until one guy got into it with a customer, then the bartender, he gets kicked out. The same guy walks back in minutes later and apologizes to the bartender. Moments after that, the guy's buddy ends up getting in an argument with a guy. The biker guy is telling another guy to STFU but the guy who kept mouthing off is clearly too intoxicated to know better. Then I see the biker guy punch the drunk guy and that guy falls down in almost SLO MO. It was quite scary because the biker guy didn't stop even after the guy was down. So I grab my friend and have her come with me away from the action. After that incident, we ended up leaving as the cops came. After the bad food and the fight, I doubt we would ever go back. Disappointing since the karaoke was entertaining!

    Not a bad place, minus the group of regulars openly selling and doing lines out back.

It all comes in fizzio/coupe glasses on a tower. I also ordered an extra drink (Pink Cloud) and dessert (Lemon Crumb Cake). Everything was so good! The presentation was beautiful. The cake was moist and flavorful. The drinks weren't too strong. The service was a little slow, but the staff were friendly and attentive. Whoever designed this restaurant did a wonderful job. It's very unique and makes me feel like I'm in a cabin. The lighting is dim and sets the mood for a romantic date. There are a few areas to lounge and a spot to take pictures. They have seating available inside and outside. Bathrooms are stocked and clean. The antler chandeliers are gorgeous. But the real star of the show? The bar. The blue and neon lighting, the wood and rock beans, and the huge elk mounted in the center... So awesome! I'm definitely coming back to try other things on their main menu. They have a nice drink selection. It's very easy to spend a good $60+ here.

I brought my family and girlfriend for a nice dinner. We were there for more than 3 hours waiting for our food. It seemed like we had to literally grab the server for more drinks and everything seemed really disorganized. Our total tab was almost $500. For that kind of money at least competent serving and food wait times should be expected. We will not be back and I'm really sad that such a great bar in the front is done such a disservice by the restaurant.

There's three rooms/bar areas that each play different music and have a different vibe going on. The cover is typically $20 and they do have an atm on site you can use. One of the bars is cash only the others take card. Usually my friends and I go to the zombie room because the bartender there is super nice and makes really yummy fruity drinks. This room has tons of neon paint and funky decor, it's also where they have live music playing and an upstairs area you can sit in. The other areas are indoor/outdoor and they have seats outside on the front and back patio you can sit and smoke at. Depending on a lot of factors you might love it or might not. There's a big mix of people you'll meet here and there are some interesting individuals you'll meet. For the most part the music is decent, lots of space to dance, good drinks, and you can definitely make it more fun with a great group of people.

I personally go to the Zombie bar because the bartender always makes me the best fruity cocktails. I also like that there are various genres of music so you can choose to move around and hear different genres. It can feel a little dirty, but half of the bar is outside so that makes it more difficult to keep clean. Overall, I do enjoy the vibe of this bar and will continue to keep going with friends!
