Neighborhood Karaoke Bar

My local watering hole... this place has been around for a while, and during the week is pretty "cheers" type environment.... during the weekends its a tossup from a locals Bday Party, some work Party, or a random mass of people who have never been there.... I am not a singer, but can say that most of the regulars and bartenders are typically pretty good (always wondered if that was a requirement to working in a Karaoke Bar?) Oh, and the song books are huge, and a few KJs have their own "secret" song list... Defiantly a place to check out either by your self and make new friends, or with a group (and still make new friends)
