      Monday night for karaoke after a pitcher of beer. Started past 8pm. Super nonjudgmental folks who'd still clap for our off-key singing. Aside from me, people there can sing pretty well.

      First bartender super nice super cool I sat down and asked me what I wanted to drink. I ordered a Cadillac margarita. She also recommended the tequila and unfortunately as I got my drink, she asked to close out my tab because she was getting off shift. Too bad I didn't come earlier. She's super nice and cool the next person on I've been sitting for 20 minutes and just keeps walking past me and ignoring me taking other peoples orders that walked in after me maybe I just rubbed her the wrong way who knows won't be coming back

      Bar is great every day and night except Sunday night. This Sunday night bartender will not serve you if you annoy h8m. Or don't do th8ngs the way HE thinks things should be done. No wonder so many people dislike him.. Not to mention that the crowd is thinning out when he's on shift. Very Sad

      I have a very soft spot in my heart for this place, but the current KJ is just not a pleasant human and I don't enjoy her vibes. I signed up for a song, waited about 15 minutes and when I got up there she says "oh, someone already sang that song. " I say "ok, and", she then says "it's a rule here" (since when??) and I then ask "when did this person sing this song?", she said "earlier"...um, ok. Also, if that's a rule? Perhaps you should tell the singer before they step up to sing...quite unpleasant and unfriendly and I would say I'm pretty much a karaoke veteran and I have NEVER seen this be an issue and it was just not a great time. The previous KJs here used to be a great time and she ducked a lot of the fun out of the night....

      If you want to sing Karaoke, this place is four stars. If you are looking for a bar to chill at with your friends, it is one star. It is Karaoke every day when ever they are open. This leads to long wait times to sing, but everyone gets to sing. Everyone.

      The drinks are competitively priced, there is one pool table, and the staff was friendly. Overall we had a good experience. We being me and about a dozen friends that were bar-hopping and wanted to sing Karaoke. We came, signed up, drank for about an hour while we waited for our turn, sang and had a terrific time. We left soon after as it was crowded and it would have been too long a wait to sing again.

      If you want Karaoke and have some time to spare, it could be a good time.

      This is the best lounge I've ever been to. Extremely friendly staff. And the atmosphere is always on high. I go to this place very often and always come back in a good mood.

      A kj was changed so fast and I was going because of them. Monday nights, Tuesday nights and Wednesday nights is when I would go. Sadly the bartender would go outside leaving me to wait when I decided to get my refill. Out of all the time I have attended the red stag I have noticed that something not related to work was bothering her. The kj was fair honest and would help every person that wanted to sing.
