- Monday nights are ALWAYS half price everything even on holidays and cubs game nights. They give you a ride to and from cubs games on tiki transit.
Meredith BMay 29, 2015Always a fun crowd, service is great, good karaoke spot in Lakeview. Get a fishbowl drink and split it to save a few bucks.
From 4-7 on weekdays they have $5 burger and a beer. The burger is small but tasty and comes with fries.
Joseph B.January 2, 2015Karaoke's not my thing, but it's a decent place if you get dragged along. Seating is rare, and people are always moving around, so it's hard to relax.
Matias A. FerradasDecember 9, 2012Fun place with Karaoke on Saturday nights (not many places have it). The wait was about 12 people but you can't expect anything else at a busy bar.
General bar tip. Don't say "Can I have a beer?" Ask what beer they have or just know what beer you want to drink. 312 anyone?
Trish NesbittSeptember 30, 2015Jam packed on weekends, but a nice, fun spot for some karaoke and drinks.

DKH CreativeApril 17, 2011If you've got a smartphone, you can browse their full karaoke song list without leaving your seat - just point your browser to their fully searchable mobile song list. (link below) Read more- The house beer, "Trader Todd' Red" is delicious, it tastes like the famed "butter beer" from Harry Potter. Oh, and it's only three dollars.
Have a twisted tea... It's great... if you see a dude in a UPS uniform he is awesome.... Most times ;)
- Ask for Sandy as your waitress. Order a Painkiller and a Golden Monkey.
Lunch @TraderTodds ...the perfect way to start your weekend!
AshleyJanuary 29, 2012Get there early, no waiting, or come back during the weekday. It's less crowded.
$5 half-slab of ribs and $3 Trader Todd's Red Draft on Wednesdays!- Tip your kj if you wanna sing sooner. Or comes more often so he knows you
Nikki NefariousDecember 21, 2011$1 sliders and $3 Jameson is the price you pay for this live entertainment
Al LarcherSeptember 19, 2010Ask for a virgin rim job in a double glass with coconut for a real island treat!
LaLaLaurenMay 27, 2013Screw this place. They literally grabbed our beers out of our hands at 145 when the bar closed at 200. So freaking rude. Will never return. So rude. Treats you like shit
If your having a hard time getting along with the karaoke guy, it's your fault, not his.
- Elizabeth JohnstonJuly 4, 2012Don't speak to the mean dj. He obviously hates life and bad usher songs
William RuggirelloMarch 17, 2012Our tequila sunrise had pulp. Waitress didn't know the drink specials and my drink was wrong. Bad first expirence.
Miss JewtasticSeptember 15, 2010The only good thing about this place is the beer garden. For karaoke, go someplace else.
