Just Pure Awful!

by AutumnB

A friend wanted to celebrate part of his birthday weekend at Second on Second based on his experience there years ago in hopes of eating some decent finger foods, having a few drinks and singing karaoke. We had a reservation for 8:30pm five of us decided to sing one song each and pass the rest of the time eating and enjoying each other's company. The karaoke host (Michelle or Melissa) seemed to be more interested in taking the mic for her own performances (as she may have been rejected by American Idol) and allow her friends to sing as many songs as they wanted despite the list of people, like my group, who had been waiting for a turn. When asked why it was taking so long for her to call any of my friends up to sing and more importantly, why at least five participants, who came well after we did were called up to sing more than once, she provided a lame excuse of there being special occasions for some of those participants and she was trying to accommodate them. Moreover, when we explained that we had been waiting since 8:30pm and it was already 11:00pm, she said she would try to help us out and we would have to wait for five more people to perform. We were paying for a $300 table and everyone who walked in off the street performed before us, needless to say we were all minorities! Just an awful experience and I would suggest that people think twice before going to this place and go to the Fat Black Pussycat or the Village Underground, they treat their customers, of all creeds, with respect and they have great food and drinks!

• Pros: Nothing At All, Smells, Terrible Waitstaff
• Cons: Slow Service, Rude Staff Members, Over & Under Cooked Food

ALOT OF FUN!!!

by jessicakelly

A group of friends and I went to this bar together on a Sunday night. It was really crowded, which would have been alright but the people there were loud, too rowdy, and out of control. I had this drunk girl spill my drink and then fall down. The bouncer just sat there while the workers cleaned it up and didn't do anything to make the environment safe. I really felt like I needed a shield the whole time. The workers were really friendly and capable. I especially liked the DJ. She was really involved with the people up there. I even paid her to sing with me. Never had so much fun in a karaoke bar before. I just wish it wasn't so out of control with alcoholics.

• Pros: The sound system and workers
• Cons: Loud obnoxious customers

Amazing Karaoke Experience....

by judyapple

Bacherlorette party Fun ! ! We had a bachelorette party here the other night here and the we had a blast.

We rented one of the rooms with a karaoke system. The room was set up nicely with sofa and cocktail table. Very nice and clean. Theres a plasma tv and a karaoke system with tons of songs and most of the current songs playing on the radio now. The wait staff was professional and courteous. Sometimes we didn't realize they had bought in our drinks and food , we had so much fun. After we finish with the room , we came out to the common area , the main lounge bar . There was waves of ppl singing to Bon Jovi's Living on a prayer,. It was an amazing karaoke experience. I am definitely coming back here for my birthday party.

• Pros: Food and drinks , Nice clean karaoke rooms , Price is affordable
• Cons: a wait for a song in the main floor when it gets crowded could be a bit longer than expected
