The High Note is a sparse little bar, but it knows what it wants to be: a place for folks to sing…read moretheir hearts out after a few cheap drinks. The stage is set up against the front window so passersby can see the excitement within, and the monitors are placed around the restaurant so all patrons can sing along. Naturally, it's exceptionally loud here, so hearing protection is recommended. When we were there, the vocalists ranged from trained singers to drunks hitting every wrong note. We heard hip-hop, country, rock, pop, and even metal, so you can step up and sing whatever you feel like. Adding your name is easy, and the hosts flow between acts so quickly that it won't take long for you to get your time to shine. What surprised me most was how often the hosts sang. The two bartenders Ernesto and Mahogany each have absolutely breathtaking voices (Ernesto in particular made my ladyfriends swoon), but they sang roughly every 4 songs despite a steady flow of various other voices that wanted a turn. To their credit, they also valiantly offered backup vocals for duets and seemed to know every song. I watched Ernesto taking orders and serving drinks with one hand while belting into the mic with the other. Definitely an impressive skill set, but they might consider stepping their participation back a bit. There's an electronic drum kit onstage, and later in the evening a guy named Sosa sat down at it and began accompanying most of the songs with flawless beats. I could watch him all night. There aren't many seats - there were about 5 tables lining the walls, which offers plenty of space for dancing, and lots of folks jumped up to dance. It was a very supportive atmosphere . So supportive, in fact, that an apparent regular named Jake came over to hit on my partner. We had fun and each got to sing what we wanted, but agreed that the place could be furnished and decorated a little more fully, and that the bartenders were a little overbearing and intimidating when it came to singing.

Great service, dimly but warmly lit (which I love to help me avoid migraine triggers), lots of conversation and chattering going on around us. Also, PINBALL!

The place seemed to be filled with locals who seemed to know each other, including the bartending staff. That didn't stop me from blending in. I ordered a Miller Lite bottle and it was one of the cheapest beers I had in a while. The BBQ was decent too and the portions were big. It was a nice stop for a beer and some food.

Nobody was dancing and not enough staff. Waited for a while to get bartender's attention to order a small drink and water. Music was ok to some good songs depending on what the DJ play.

In the lower level there is a bar and arcade games as well as tables to hang out. We had a great encounter with Moe and Six as bartenders.

Then we asked Six go for the Karamel Chameleon and Ektoplasm and she did not disappointed either. They were both quick with their service and very nice. We also spoke to Kat at the bar on the main floor. I had asked how long to business had been open and the response was around two months. We got to try the Cat Fish Bites and Banana Foster's French Toast which were on point. I am not a big fish eating person, but the hubby is. Both were very good. We also ordered the Teenage Mutant Mozzarella Sticks and the Totcho Man Ranchy Savage which were both delicious as well. We all played 80's trivia which was a blast, made us really start thinking...lol. All around we had a great time!
