“ Fantastic karaoke fun, get there early, there's a cover (5) on Saturday but it's worth ”
“ Arguably one of the best patios in Portland! And the french fries are delicious. Perfect bar. ”
“ You too can get drunk and sing karaoke. My girlfriend comes here on a regular basis for karaoke. They have a great setup and it's usually quite a crowd. The karaoke queue on a Friday night can be up to 2 hours. Drinks are good, but I've been here a dozen times and never eaten here. ”
“ I recently started coming here for the karaoke, but I gotta say it's definitely a whole package type of place! The bar tenders are friendly, fast, and make great drinks. The karaoke guy and gal are both very friendly and happy to help. My husband said the burger was the absolute best he's ever had, and we go out a lot. So, obviously, the food is well worth it. And the vibe is very chill. You'll definitely get to see a lot of hipsters singing hipster songs on weekends, but everybody claps and cheers along. In fact, most nights karaoke seems to be hipsters singing hipster songs! Don't be shy, though, any song goes. I like to go in and sing my metal songs! ( and surprisingly, everybody claps and cheer me on) ”
“ Good food great atmosphere and service . My go to Karaoke spot downtown . The staff makes this place magical. Tip ur servers and bartenders and Mutt too !!!! ”
“ Mutt (the bouncer) is a good boy. Best bouncer I’ve ever met! Great bartenders, GM is chill, awesome KJs. Love this place ”
“ The vibe was immaculate -- I wish I'd taken photos of the interior because it was so cool. However it did not come across as pretentious. Everyone seemed comfortable and it was easy to get service. I just had a couple of cocktails (a gin & tonic, then a Moscow mule, pictured). They were very well crafted, delicious, and priced fairly. It was a super cool place to hang out with my buddy and I would definitely come back! ”
“ The ambiance here is great. I usually don’t frequent this area but parking was not that bad and it was very easy to find. It doesn’t look big from the outside... but it is very spacious once you’re inside. Also there is an outdoor patio that is wonderful and very spacious and peaceful. I would recommend this place if you enjoy Karaoke on Wednesday’s and just an all around chill place to hang at. ”
