Intimate place where you can sing into the mike from your seat. $1 per song, plus a two-drink minimum. This place is ideal when there isn't a huge group dominating the scene. I've had wonderful experiences here when people arrive in twos and threes, maybe even fours....people are usually a lot of fun and supportive of one another and a sense of camaraderie ensues. Unfortunately, during my latest visit, a rowdy group of co-workers took over the back area of the bar and the bartenders seemed to favor them by choosing their songs over others seated at the bar. We promptly left, but I can't say I won't be back when the atmosphere is less chaotic. If you're a part of that kind of group, you'll probably love it. If you're into a quieter scene, maybe choose a night early in the week or go earlier in the evening.
Pros: Good for groups, unintimidating set-up for singing karaoke
Cons: Bartenders don't always evenly distribute songs, rowdy clientele (at times)
