| - The Dark Horse, what can I say? Better than I expected? I guess. It was really nice inside, and I was expecting the worse. There were tons of nice Hi-Def TV's and a good looking projector (rare). And those were the good parts.
Now for the bad. As a previous reviewer wrote, they take care of the regulars better. I sat down with my friend on a Friday night. Yes, we were there for karaoke, but more on that later. This place only had two bartenders working, again, on a busy Friday night, So after waiting several, several minutes my buddy gave up waiting for a waitress and went up to the bar to get us a couple of cold ones. Before he got back, however, a threesome showed up, who were obviously regulars, and one of the bartenders immediately comes to greet them and take their order. It's not that big of a deal but sure does make you feel a little second class.
And now for the karaoke. Now let me say this: the guy has a big list of songs, no doubt about it. But the age old adage of "quality vs. quantity" comes into play here. The most recent song I could find in the book was a Weezer song - from the blue album. And don't get me wrong; I likes me some varietay. It's just that I personally have more fun singing some modern rock tunes. If Warrant, Bon Jovi, and Tesla are your thing, then I found the place for you!
And one last thing about the karaoke guy, all of his stuff is on CD. Retro: Yes. Efficient: Hell No. I've been spoiled by every other KJ that has their stuff on a PC, and can look things up, and doesn't need CD # + Track # + Etc, and can quickly transition between songs, and lives in 2009. Just my two cents.
