Came here for my friend's bachelorette trip and I must say, NOT a good experience. I had called…read moreprior to to inquire about a private area to karaoke to thoroughly enjoy doing karaoke as a group. I'm beyond glad this option was available because I don't believe we would have had a good time had we just participated in a public setting trying to karaoke. What I will say is that $100 per hour to reserve this space is a joke. We booked this private area for $200. We were enclosed in by a curtain and had to compete with the music and noise from the bar and others singing karaoke. We were literally placed in a 4x4 space (a bit exaggerated, but not big AT ALL). The space contained 1 tv screen, a computer, 1 microphone, 4-5 broken bar stools, an inflatable guitar, an exit door, another door to storage space, and the smell of old spilt liquor and urine. Not the most pleasant setup to pay $200 for. BUT we made the most of it considering the amount had already been paid. We were interrupted multiple times by employees fetching things from the storage closet and random guests who wanted to peek through the curtains to see what was on the other side. I believe my expectations were high based off prior experiences of booking private karaoke rooms at other establishments and assuming this would meet the standards.

I'm sure the vibes change from day to day with the crowds but I'd say there was a variety of people there, older, college kids, bachelorette party, wedding party. It definitely gives dive bar energy and drinks are affordable which was nice. Everyone was quite friendly there and it's a great place to just be a spectator if you don't like to sing. lol I actually got called up to sing just before they shut down and everyone was really vibin! I'll need to come back because I didn't get to spend much time there but all in all it was a fun time even going solo.

Being such a small space both indoors and out on the side patio though, this is not a place for anyone with claustrophobia. Unless you love tight, crowded and loud spaces, I wouldn't recommend it.

The space was beautifully decorated for Christmas and felt very inviting and festive, so we were excited to check it out. Unfortunately, while we were at the outdoor bar, our server informed us that pets are not allowed unless they are service animals. We confirmed that this policy also applies to outdoor seating and were told it was due to insurance reasons. Because of this, we had to leave and take our business elsewhere, which was disappointing given how welcoming the atmosphere appeared. We ended up returning another day when it was just my husband and me because the Christmas décor was so beautiful we couldn't resist giving it another try. While the space itself was lovely, we weren't impressed with the drink options. I ordered an espresso martini and asked the bartender if it could be made with something other than Bailey's. He simply said no, without offering any alternatives or suggestions. It would have been nice to feel a bit more accommodated-Kahlúa, whiskey, or another option could have easily been suggested. In the end, I ordered the espresso martini anyway, only to see it poured from a box, which was another letdown. Overall, the ambiance and décor were great, but the service and cocktail experience fell short of expectations.

They do espresso martini towers which was fun and we ordered just a few individual. Definitely tasty but more on the sour side. Good old fashion but not great French 75. Our server was sweet but sometimes took a while or something was very quick. Drinks were pretty pricey for what they were. Perhaps better spot to come when it's not as busy and have some apps.
