| - Trivia, friends, food, drinks, impromptu karaoke. Where's the bad? Nowhere. There is no bad there. Especially when the staff, from hostess, to server, to bartenders are friendly and helpful.
I was at The Gladstone this past Friday for Friends trivia with a group of eight of my best pals, and ended up staying for Karaoke after. What was going to be a two hour outing turned into a six hour outing, so I think that tells you I was having a good time. The trivia was excellent; hilarious host, well thought out and challenging questions, and a very enthusiastic bunch of Friends fans in attendance.
The karaoke after was also good. They clearly have some regulars, and a lot of them were pretty good. This is not the kind of karaoke where only half the people can actually carry a tune and no one notices anyway because of they are too wasted. I mean, by 1am there were definitely some people on stage with beer spilled on their shirts, but to their credit they were still singing pretty well. And the audience was super supportive, which is key to any good karaoke venture I think. Kudos to The Gladstone for always being this kind of place: welcoming to all. Last Friday was not my first visit, and it won't be my last either.
