Review from Kevin N.
This is just my opinion, but the way I see it, everyone should, at least once in his or her lifetime, saunter into a relatively sketchy by way of desolate strip center bar, grab the karaoke mic door handle, throw open the door into dark recesses and enter into a different world. At least, that's more or less how I saw my initial foray into Anthony's (or is it Joy's Anthony's?), this staple of the deep end of Camp Bowie that had me thoroughly entertained most recently.
I hardly know where to begin my tour of the awesome: is it when you look past the disco ball hovering over the wrangling pen singer haven and notice that there's a glittered-out saddle, pirouetting, about two feet to its aft? Is it the back-lit American flag (and back-lit really isn't the right word when you consider that the lights behind the flag have been sort of scattered and are now illuminating the fabric from beneath with random spacing in mind)? Is it when you notice that the name of the bar sits tacked to the wall behind the modest stage next to the KJ? Or that the bartender occasionally slips out from behind the serving area to belt out a song or two? Whatever your answer, I wouldn't change a thing about this phenomenal little time warp.
Know this: they're unfailingly kind here - there are heartfelt ballads, most of the regulars (at least the night I was in) seemed to be well versed in your modern (and some classic) country fare, and when I sidled up to the bar to take it all in, the barkeep noted "I've never heard 'em boo anyone" as if to suggest that if it was nerves I was concerned with, well, I'd be the only one. Alas, as it were, I'm definitely not a shrinking violet. And the way I see it, leaving belting one out on the table means prime incentive for next time.
And I'm sure of two things: I can't wait to go back, and Anthony's will no doubt play exactly the same. -

I honestly thought this would have been reviewed already! Believe me, I would have never found this place except that we'd been out at Lola's and the live music made us crave some karaoke. We did a search and this is what came up. It's in a small shopping center, hard to find unless you have a GPS.
Walking in, we definitely felt as if we didn't belong. I honestly thought we'd stay for one drink and move on down the road. At first it seemed as if Patsy Cline was the only thing that was going to be sung at this bar. But after about 30 minutes, the stares stopped coming our way, we were cheering for the other singers and our waitress was super cool. We got our friend up there to sing a little George Strait and Elton John. Of course he brought the house down!
Then out of nowhere, this guy that has a taco stand out front came in to sell tacos! And they were amazing! I'd do a review on that taco stand but I have no idea what the name was and if it's always parked there. All I can say is, he answered the call in the exact time we needed him. I was more upset that my boyfriend only bought one for me!
While we were leaving, the lady who runs the karaoke asked us to please come back. That makes ya feel so famous. I'm still not sure if this would be a good time with just you and a friend or if you need a group that's fun and a little rowdy but I love karaoke and I love dive bars so this was the perfect fit for that night.
