This place is a hoot! One bartender went on a rant about incorrect science terminology and another one told me not to order the food because it's overpriced and not good.. The *DJ* tonight played the same song 4 times in a row and kept stopping songs halfway through to start them over. This place will give it to you straight and not mess around with that customer service nonsense. If you want a REAL Vancouver experience I highly recommend checking it out! You're for sure gonna have a fun story to tell after a night here. I will be back!

It was the worst karaoke I have ever heard in my life. The patrons could not carry a tune and were tone deaf and the KJ was not much better.

Karaoke 7 days per week. The kj's are hit or miss, but on a Thursday, my friend and I got to sing a bunch of songs because we were 2 out of 3 people singing. Water is self-serve, so that is nice for designated drivers. Food is average priced for the area and is average quality too.Parking: Parking on the street nearby and around the corner, not too far from the location

Their mozzarella sticks were the worst I’ve ever had in my life. I’ve had better from a gas station. Absolutely disgusting and would never even try anything else from here after that.

So to start, the bartender was literally getting out 1 drink about every 4 minutes, and on top of that, even with a line clear to the front door, left her station for up to 10 minutes while people were waiting. Then she actually had the nerve to yell out to the entire line to calm down and that another bartender might be coming, due to the fact that people were getting upset. We ordered 2 drinks and 2 appetizers totaling 50 bucks. Mozzarella sticks were fair, corn dog poppers are a complete rip off. Between the 2 of them totaling 20 dollars. So our drinks were what 15 dollars a piece, My wife got a single shot vodka and soda, I had a long Island made from well liquor??? This was our first visit to this bar, and I'm sorry to say, our last. Which is really a bummer because as far as I can see, it's the only place on main street that has karaoke.

Very small space for moving around and I don't like how close it is to one another. Was not impressed with the karaoke system of calling either (a whiteboard really?). Would not recommend if on a first date.

This is definitely a little hole in the wall but great service, prices and good beer and other cocktails. We were searching for somewhere to chill and walked by this bar and it was a great decision. Will definitely be coming back from now on. They have karaoke but I forget the days and hours. Along with a pool table and shuffle board.

Cool place to do karaoke. The bartender was too busy trying to show off, and doing a very bad job of it, that it took forever to get a drink. Super tacky that he acted like he was in the movie Cocktail, using cheesy lines, I'm chewing on a straw with slobber all over it.

Bartender (silver haired female) here is rude and can't handle any stress. Needs some customer service training. Place could be good. Clientele is a different crowd for sure, and most were cool, but you had some regulars who just needed to get a life.

This place is great! Honestly there is a ton I feel I could write here, but you should just check it out some time. It's always been friendly, quick to get drinks, and fun to just sing a song with the crowd.

Their food is disgusting. The burgers are either overcooked or seem to have an odd taste about it. I end up getting a chicken quesadilla instead of cheese quesadilla. When I pointed out to the server that I got the wrong item they stated it was what I ordered. I then said "Well the menu is wrong. There is no mention of chicken." The server then got smart with me and said, "We don't serve cheese only quesadillas". I pointed to the menu. After much back and forth I finally got a reorder with cheese only but their cheese tastes like chemicals and salt. It had no cheese taste. Their fries and tots aren't crispy but soggy. The place didn't look very clean either. I won't return.

Great dive bar. Food is over priced not great but edible. Karaoke is fun and open mic comedy is dope every Monday.

First off, the bartender spilled my margarita onto my wife's purse and then dropped the lime on the drink mat, but used it anyway to add to my next margarita. The glass that my beer came in looked like maybe 10 ounces, but the cost of a full pint and tasted funny. Like they need to clean thier lines and taps. I switched to can beers after the first one seemed so small. a PBR or Miller shouldn't cost that much. Our bill ended up being way too much for what we drank. The bartender first said she would cover our 1st two drinks and then said she would give us a heavy discount. 70 cents off! Whooppie! She was nice and very apologetic though. This is all too bad, because the place had a cool dive bar ambiance and the Karaoke wasn't ridiculously busy.
