Walked in at 6:30 Saturday evening with a party of 6. There was no hostess nor any sign about self-seating, so we walked up to the bartender to ask about seating, and he was a bit rude, but told us to sit wherever we wanted. We sat and waited for more than 20 minutes. As can be seen in the photos, the place was far from busy, with many empty tables. We finally left after receiving no service. This place is a gimmick for college kids, not a serious cocktail lounge, save your time and spend your money elsewhere.

In awe, I exclaimed: it's a mullet-gasm!! And it was a total party on a Wednesday night. Karaoke. Cheap beers. Such a friendly crowd, I couldn't help but over indulge on High Life's (especially at 2 for $5!) Finding this place was like finding a bit of home when traveling. If only I had some snack options, I might NEVER have left the comfort of cozy, welcoming dive bar. Small side note, this definitely was a queer friendly location.

I really wanted to love Pink Cactus because the concept is so fun and unique. Karaoke rooms in an…read moreold two-story house is something we don't have anywhere else around here, and I think there is a LOT of potential. Unfortunately, the execution just wasn't there for us. When we arrived, the bartender took us upstairs to our room. It would have made much more sense to have someone actually take our drink order at the bar so we could bring drinks upstairs, because once we got to the room, everything had to be ordered through a QR code. Even then, the bartenders weren't paying much attention to the incoming orders, so we eventually had to go back downstairs to let them know we had ordered drinks. The drinks themselves were fine, but definitely on the sweet side. We also ordered a flatbread, which unfortunately wasn't very good, and it came out only about five minutes before our hour in the room was up. And that brings me to my biggest issue: one hour is simply not enough time for karaoke. You have to search for every song yourself using a remote and YouTube, which takes quite a bit of time between songs. There's no song queue/deck where you can load up several songs ahead of time. By the time we figured everything out, we only got to sing about five songs before being told it was our last song and our hour was up. The staff was very strict about the one-hour cutoff. The entire place was also freezing. When we went downstairs to close out, one of the bartenders was sitting at the bar eating food she had brought from home in a Tupperware container, which just didn't give the best impression. I genuinely love the idea of Pink Cactus and would love to see it succeed, but right now it feels like a great concept that needs a lot of work in the execution. Add in how difficult parking is in that area right now, and I'd probably choose Knox Box for karaoke instead. I hope they work out the kinks because there's definitely something here. The concept is too good not to.

Harrogut's has beer on draft, along with a bar, but if you aren't satisfied with your options, you can just walk into Suttree's ! Suttree's also has a food menu, so you have the option to eat, drink, and play all in the same place. Why would you not?! The best part is all the games ONLY cost a quarter or fifty cents!! Five dollars will get you far friend!

However, since the original owner died, it has gone through several different owners and changed names several times. It just changed owners (and name) again! They fire bands so often (for no reason) that you never know who's next. Just when you get used to a great band that you can dance to, they fire them! Case in point - most recent 8-11-18. They fired a band we loved and DECEIVED us into believing there was going to be another band the following Saturday night. There was NO band as we have always had before...just 3 guitars! We didn't know this until we had already paid admission! Everybody was complaining, and I was the first one to walk out after only 20 minutes! I couldn't get my money back so I feel like they stole my money! I no longer want to support such dishonest people who would deceive their audience! I don't plan on going back and don't recommend it to anyone else!
