Let me explain how my New Years was ruined. I had made reservations at Barefoot bernies in Hagerstown MD BECAUSE they told us they were doing Karaoke. So we drove half hour there, sat down, was then told there was no Karaoke, got back up and left. SOOO I remember hearing THE ROCK in Martinsburg did Karaoke on Tuesdays. Now I have never been there so I called them. They told me yes and there was a 5.00 cover. We got to The Rock and of course there was barely a soul there. I figured we'd give it a chance because I hadn't been out in forever and I really wanted to do Karaoke for New Years. So we sat down. The bartender was friendly and made some really great long island ice teas. The patrons were friendly, one guy brought deer jerky for everyone...so really it was a nice group. Karaoke was suppose to be from 8pm-1am. KJ'S sometimes will start late if they are waiting for the crowd so we played some pool. It wasn't till about 9:45pm they people started coming in. So the KJ went and parked her lazy rear where she's suppose to be doing her job, and began playing on her cell phone. So at 10pm I went to her and I asked if she had books so we could pick out Karaoke songs. Her answer was "No and I'm not even sure we are gonna be doing Karaoke tonight." Then she had the audacity to ask what kind of songs did I sing????Why the hell does that matter! So a rattled off a few names and she replied "Well we still have 3 hours so we'll see." WTFFFFF really. So I calmly went and sat down and waited about 30 minutes. Then I went to the ATM to get money for my tab. The bar tender asked why we weren't staying to ring in the New Year and I said well we came for Karaoke and you're not having it. Then she replied by saying " Yes we are that's what's advertised." she walk over to the KJ and when she came back she said the KJ had told her, that she told us, Karaoke was starting in 15 minutes......What a freggin liar. Then she conveniently announced Karaoke over the microphone at about 10:45p.
Please do not make plans around this establishment. We were burned and went home early and disappointed. Also we paid a 5.00 cover that I don't think the regulars even had to pay. They were passing around a bucket for it as I was leaving like it was optional 5.oo for biscuits and gravy at 1:00 am. I don't know what the hell is wrong with that place but I'm sorry I wasted my money and time on New Years at that rinky dink bar with there lying, lazy POS for a KJ!! read more
