I went to check out the karaoke as it's relatively close to home. The exterior is plain. The interior is a typical local bar but it is huge. A lot more space than pretty much any other local bar I've seen. Above the bar there are three or four televisions on different channels so if you're into sports I'm sure they can give you what you need. There is a nice patio but it was covered in snow, maybe check it out in the summer. The drinks are slightly over priced for the area. I was charged $14 for two pints. Across the street I can get a pint for like $5.50. The bartender wasn't friendly at all but she did laugh and smile at other people sometimes leading me to believe she's a good person just having a bad day. I'd heard raves about the sound quality of the karaoke show. They were lies. It wasn't amazing. There was a large selection of songs. Every person will sing what I call an "old man song". Not like quality older songs we all know and love but like self-indulgent nonsense that you've either never heard or don't care about. I stayed about an hour and a half but it wasn't my scene. Leaving here is ridiculous. The bus to the subway stops at 10:30 on Fridays for some stupid reason and good luck seeing a taxi. I'll probably give it another shot in the summer but for now I'm still thawing out from the walk home.
