★★★★☆ 4.0 Adam & Phoebe · Feb 2026

I came here for the first time for pop karaoke night, and it seemed like most of the people there were regulars who all knew each other. It's a small place and the decor didn't really feel like it matched the vibe, and the karaoke set-up was not very good. It was really hard to hear the backing music, even when you were the one singing, but this isn't the type of place that you come to "perform" for karaoke like a lot of other places in LA. It's very casual and low-pressure. Song choices were all over the place (which isn't necessarily a good or bad thing). Late night happy hour menu was decent and they offered it from 9pm on that night, and the place did get packed to standing room only. I had a hard time finding info on what their happy hour was before we went, so I took a picture to sh

★★★★★ 5.0 Eve Morrigan · Apr 2025

I love this place. The owner Brandon is really nice and the patrons are very friendly. They do an open mic night on Tuesdays, come read your poetry, or play your music. Everyone is really supportive and encouraging. Good beer and wine options. It's a wonderful spot for the locals to hang out at. Follow their Instagram for updates on upcoming events like karaoke on Fridays. I'll definitely be back often.

The vibes are spooky friendly. You meet amazing people. They host trivia and karaoke, which is awesome. The only side note is ladies if you are intoxicated, he will take advantage (make out and do other things) and says drinks are on him when in fact they are not. Not worth the trouble.

This bar is unbearably loud and completely out of control. Patrons regularly scream at the top of their lungs, creating a hostile and disruptive environment for anyone nearby. This is not a concert venue or stadium, yet the noise level is extreme, excessive, and constant. Karaoke nights are held multiple times a week, and the volume is so high that it blasts out onto the street and into the surrounding neighborhood. Even after leaving the area, the noise remains unavoidable, forcing the community to endure this disturbance on a regular basis. Management is fully aware of the situation and has taken NO action to address it. The business has no doors, allowing noise to pour outside while also leaving the interior freezing and extremely uncomfortable. This establishment shows complete disre

Definitely a cut above the rest atmospheres relaxing, quiet calm cozy, some romantic low lights low tone casual music with a few extra touches of ambiance creates an invigorating experience. Paired with American culture of open mic poetry readings with a diverse range of 22 to any age range mostly well balanced karaoke on Fridays and basic bar nighttime amenities. Different than all the other places this is a great spot to relax. Come read your poetry out loud 4 televisions to catch the most current news and sports Play your saxophone violin or your rave for your design. Rant about the game of life. This is a perfect first time place, friendly, supportive, and welcoming with hard alcohol being off full choice leaves a mellow environment wine being poured beer on tap and a convenient c
