I always have a good time but don't suggest using a debit card because they took their own tip after the fact I gave her cash for a tip. Stealing is never okay. Spoke to the manager and was shrugged off like it was my fault.

While it seemed like a fun spot to stop at. With little customers, didn't feel it was wise to have employees with bad attitudes. Take my drunk money elsewhere. ​

Nice place, great set up for karaoke, can be a bit of a long wait for songs on a Friday evening, beer is in bottles and cans rather than draft, service was lovely and quick. I didn't try the food so that rating is only based on the beer and drink selection. Overall a fun night out for karaoke!

Disgusting hole in the wall with no food, rude bartenders, and a ridiculously skinny karaoke songbook that is so puny that it reminds me of an old spiral notebook with pages torn out. The bathrooms alone grossed me out and, IIRC, the place even kinda smelled. Don't waste your time or money there; take the time to find a better place to get your karaoke on.

Always a great time, would recommend to anyone. Better than any karaoke bar I have ever been to- anywhere. Prepare to be impressed.

We had our after party at AJs. It is a smaller venue but we made it work. The service was great and the crowd interaction was awesome. You can get the VIP pass for $30 to bump your name to the top of the song queue. ? ? ?

Had a great time while in town for work! This place has a small town vibe in the city. They have specialty shots and the best drink prices in DSM. Super hospitable!

Little slow on the tuesday night I was there, but it was still fun. Could have been the night or the road construction. Support local businesses and give the place a try. The construction makes it a bit confusing. I drove one road to the south and drove in from the back, less than 1 minute detour. They have some signs directing to the businesses, but really didnt need them. I will be back on a different night soon when it is busier.Parking: Large parking lot 1/2 block east.
