Since I'm one of the die-hard Karaoke Junkies who just happens to also like to get drunk on the cheap, I would like to suggest other Citysearch users to hit up the awesome Happy Hour specials at Radio Star. That's right folks, their Happy Hour deals go on until 9 p.m. from Monday thru Friday, featuring $3 domestic beers, $3.5 imported beers [Guinness included], and half priced cocktails among others. \r

The bartender girls, working the general bar/lounge area in the front of this venue, are super friendly and will even sing along with you on some of the songs that they personally like as well. So far, everytime I ever ventured into Radio Star [mostly on weeknights during their happy hour specials], these lovely bartender chicks would hook me, and couple of the friends I brought in, up with a few shots. I especially enjoyed that one super spicy shot which the tall-ish Korean bartender chick said was Radio Star's secret signature shot. Folks, it's spicy as hell and will guarantee to wake your ass up! Try it once and you will see what the hell I'm talking about. I dont' recall the name of the shot though, but it's not for those that can't take the heat for sure!\r

I have to admit that their song books are on of the best, and I like the overall ambience of their front bar/lounge area. It even has a stage for those of you who are Rock and Roll stars by singing on a stage to a live audience, including the lovely bartender chicks. \r

Personally, I have no shame left in my bones, so I prefer to get my Karaoke fixes right in front of total strangers. I also like the fact that at Radio Star, I never really had to wait to sing my next song more than a couple of minutes like at some other wanna-be Karaoke bars [where there's a long song list in the queue before your next song will eventually come up again]. Not here, at least not in their front general bar/lounge area where I have always had a blast singing my tunes.\r

The owner of this bar is actually a really nice and friendly dude. He would even come sit down with his customers and hanging out with us folks too. I think that's a nice little touch, and yes having the bar owner doing shots with us is also a good thing, and will guarantee to get me to come back here more often. \r
\r
I have brought in a few of my Karaoke friends from other karaoke bars to this Radio Star recently just so they can see for themselves. So far, everyone I brought over here has enjoy him/herself, and we always left happily drunk without fails.\r
\r
The foods here is amazing the few times I have eaten whatever my friends would order, but I usually just hit this spot purely for their sweet happy hour drinks and shooting the shit with their friendly bartender chicks. These gals can also sing with the best of them too, so feel free to ask one of the lovelies to help you sing a song, duet stylee. \r
\r
Oh, I think this place might also be a good spot to hold a work-related after work get-together holiday event as well. I'm pretty sure the owner dude will be willing to let you negotiate the rates and whatnots with him to book/reserve a room for your group. But then again, I prefer to do my karaoke croonings in front of total strangers rather than in a private room, so I can only recommend trying out their general bar/lounge area in the front. \r
\r
Finally, in case one of the peeps working this bar ever gets to read my review for their venue, I just wanna give you peeps a shout out and ""keep up the good works Radio Star staff"", and don't forget to hook this Karaoke Junkie up with a few shots every now and then, huh?
