Karaoke, Drinks & A Good Crowd
Monday, June 20, 2005
The drinks here are good and fun -- nothing terribly pretentious, but something for everyone; I order peach schnapps and tonic water here, and my partner ordered an appletini and a lemon drop, both of which I tried and found well-made. They're low on the alcohol, unless you ask for more -- this is a fun friendly hangout, not a pickup joint. One waitress seems unfriendly, but hasn't been rude. Perhaps she's just tired of being on her feet. The food, which I haven't tried, is standard diner-bar fare.
I came for karaoke, and it was great the first time, a weeknight -- the lines weren't too long, and the other singers were all having a lot of fun singing. The second time, it was Friday night, and the place was swamped. The singers weren't as interesting, and largely people were more drunk.
The song list is very good, and the DJ is a personable Pink Floyd fan. It's not too smoky, and there's a non-smoking area. I intend to come back on many future weeknights, and arrive before ten for shorter waits! (The singing starts at 9.)
