Tina's is hilarious. It's one of the sketchiest looking joints around. But any bar that offers karaoke every single night of the week is awesome by default.
It's one of the best dives in Cleveland. Don't go in expecting anything fancy. They can't even make a White Russian. There are always cheap jello shots -- but jello creeps me the F out.
The outside patio was referred to as "the exercise yard".
The regulars are all wasted 50 or 60-somethings and a fun crowd that seems to enjoy anyone who will actually get up and sing some horrible songs.
Billy Wayne (the KJ) is pretty rough. He has some issues and may or may not have had a stroke or some other sort of trauma -- so I feel bad for picking on him a tiny bit. But seriously, he should try to smile once in awhile and not just drool all over everyone when they ask him a question. He is completely miserable and difficult to deal with but honestly it only adds to the fun and charm of Tina's. Billy's music library doesn't seem to go past the year 1999 either. And make sure you write the correct number down or else he will give you even more attitude than he normally does.
I wonder who Tina is anyway.
