| - Popped in on Tuesday night for a little incognito karaoke! (no check in equals "incognito" lol)
If you don't know where you're going, you'll miss this place. I didn't see it until we'd passed it twice.
parking was the worst part of the night. I don't come downtown frequently. I messaged the karaoke host and was told that there is free on street parking after 10, but we had trouble finding any, so we went down to the El Cortez "Free Parking" building ($5) which was a quick walk away.
This place is interesting, to say the least.
You walk it, and it looks like its just a SUPER tiny bar. But turn the corner, and walk down the hall, and you're in a bigger room with a little raised stage, a huge projector, seating and a bar.
The karaoke host was upstairs in a boot that reminded me of a theater light/sound booth. Kinda swanky!!!
We put our songs in and got to sing almost immediately. LOVE the sound here. Love love love. I sounded amazing. ;)
Drinks are STRONG here too, which is always a good thing!
The other clientele were a bit on the "pretentious hipster" side...my friend and I were about the only 2 in the bar not sporting skinny jeans or a slouch beanie hat...we got some weird looks, but I don't really care. i'm not here for you, I'm here to sing and drink.
I liked it here, and definitely plan to be back.
The reasons for only 3 stars:
1. It was really hard to find this place.
2. When we walked in, I could TASTE the incense they were burning. I love me some nag champa, but tone it back a little there, kids.
