I got here just after 5pm, Tuesday. I'm the only person, other than a couple on the other side. The bartender grunted a greeting and was plain rude, I made a small joke saying oh I'm the first one here. She just flatly says no, forced a smile and got my drink. I'm a server and bartender. Terrible service, I would never come here again, and it's not welcoming at all. To the owner, whatever your relationship is with this bartender, maybe get rid of her and get someone who is personable. I've seen more welcome from a Mat. She didn't ask if I wanted food or even offer a menu. It's hard to imagine being worst at your job

Listen… this might just be my favorite karaoke spot in Austin, and I don’t say that lightly. I stepped on that stage like I had a record deal, okay? Gave the people U Don’t Have to Call by Usher and followed it up with Yo (Excuse Me Miss) by Chris Brown… and baby, the audience was with me. Fully engaged, hyping me like I was headlining. The vibes? Immaculate. The drinks? Even better. My go-to was the lemon drop..smooth, strong, and did exactly what needed to be done. And let’s not skip the food because those fried pickles came in clutch to close out the night. Crispy, flavorful, and exactly what my spirit needed after my mini concert. Great drinks, great food, great energy… yeah, we’ll definitely be back. 💅🏽🎶
