  • Came here one night for a few beers and just to check it out. Place itself is pretty small - kinda weird shaped bar with a few seats here and there around it. There are also a bunch of tables filling up the rest of the bar. Atmosphere is homey, neighborhood bar kind of feel. A friend and I had a few Longboard pints as we spoke of this, that, and the other thing. On the way to the bathroom there's one of them Internet Jukeboxes/TouchTunes thingies on the wall. Men's bathroom has a swinging saloon door to get to the stall. Place wasn't crowded at all so we just drank and chilled. Then all of a sudden there was karaoke going on. Funny thing about this place is we witnessed three levels of karaoke that night. Your lowest level was made up of folks that never sang in school or church or whatever and just figured they could sing because they had a coupla more pints than usual and what the hey - I'm Elvis/Sinatra/Johnny Cash rolled into one! Those folks would be trying to stay on time with the words on the screen and trying to hit all the notes like they were playing some rigged Whack-A-Mole game at the county fair after being suckered by some unscrupulous carny. Pretty much a trainwreck most times - some even made familiar tunes completely unrecognizeable - which takes some genius level atonal compositional skills. Then there were the regular folks that could more or less sing at an amateur level and could carry the tune even if they missed a note here and there - the kind of folks you usually expect at karaoke places. But there were two folks at a third level. I can only describe it as OMGWTF. It was like some professional singers came into to practice a bunch of songs they happened to have on karaoke as a warm-up before either going into the studio or on tour. They had way too much control over their vocal cords to be casual karaoke weekender types. I'd even say they'd proably wipe the floor clean with most Top 40 autotuning dorks. Only problem is - if you're gonna sing your token Elvis song in every key but the one it's playing in, you probably don't wanna follow right after one of them. LOL. Place is in a mall that used to have a Fry's - it recently shut down. There's also an I Sushi & Teppan and Burger King in the same mall at the SE corner of Ray and Rural. Plenty of parking - it's in a mall where the biggest store is now closed. Will be back sometime.
