My favorite personal karaoke bar. Cheap drinks for happy hour, very cool KJ. Crowds can range from college students to after work crowds. Good mix of north and southside songs (if you know what I mean and you do)

So very crowded, not enough seating options. Drinks are small but really good, very generous happy hour which is nice The pizza was decent. The overlapping noise (music playing AND karaoke is also heard over music/you can hear other music during karaoke) was a little rough but nothing a few drinks could handle.
