If you're looking for great fun and a ton of classic karaoke songs, then this is the place for you. Happy hour beer and karaoke make for a Friday night of fun.

Happy hour until 8:00pm M-F, and Karaoke on Friday night. This is *the* bar to hang out and chill! King Kong Beers rock!

Come early for a table on Fridays and stay late for Karaoke. Keep your eyes open for Lil Jon sightings!

No. Just...NO! 10 bartenders behind the bar. First took my card and put it in his pocket. Tried to order another drink...another bartender took it to someone else, then asked what I wanted. S**T!!

Great happy hour, park in garage across the street, and try to use the jukebox.

Karaoke on Friday nights is a must for anyone who enjoys dive bars and embarrassingly bad renditions of the greatest hits.

Go to Recessions, order a "Kong" and sit in the back room behind the 1984 style big screen TV

Just go and drink until karaoke sounds like a good idea. You don't have to DO it...
