Oh the stories these walls could tell... Jeff's will always have a soft spot in my heart. When I first moved to Charlotte my friends brought me here and walking down the stairs into the basement for the first time I was slightly terrified and had no idea what was about to greet me. When people think karaoke on Charlotte this is probably the first bar most people imagine and for good reason. They are always packed with patrons willing to get up and drunkenly belt out their favorite tune. Some people can sing. Some can't. But either way everyone usually has fun. If you aren't ready for a loud chaotic drunken evening then this place probably isn't your best option, but I have many fond memories of closing out the night here with friends and it almost always makes for an entertaining night. Never change Jeff's.

Always feels like home when I go here. Friendly vibes, amazing KJ, great customer service, and all around fun people.

The Dive Bar Karaoke ambiance was on point! Perfect mix of sticky floors, strange smells, and a mix of campy, seasoned, and awkward performances. One more star could be added if the KJ announced which singers were on deck and had the next track queued up a bit faster.... but overall a great experience with a super fun crowd.

AVOID at all costs! My friend was assaulted by a regular who claimed he worked at the bar. The bouncer saw this "regular" push my friend at the top of the stairs. It is absolutely unacceptable that the bouncer did not 86 this person at that moment and ban him for assault. The bouncer did absolutely nothing and continued to talk to the assailant. We were waiting for an Uber and the assailant continued harassing us as we were waiting. Before things escalated, another friend asked the bartender to intervene and tell the regular to leave my friends alone but she "didn't want to get involved" because the guy is a regular. Poorly run, poorly managed, and I would not feel safe if I chose to come here again.

This was a chance encounter following an invite from someone we met at dinner. It is a fun hangout and the regular crowd definitely keeps the energy up. Definitely a fun time if you are looking for a karaoke bar.

Fun little dive-y spot. Cheap drinks, good times. Go on a Thursday if you want a decent pool of people but not a sardine-like kind of crowded. Karaoke is fun. If you offer tips you can hop up in the line. The line does get kind of long from time to time so be patient if you want to sing :)

I'd prefer not having to bribe the DJ to be able to sing karaoke. We arrived early and people who showed up later sang before us. Even tipped via Venmo when we showed up. Had a much better experience at lucky Lou's down the street doing karaoke.

It may not be pay to play at Jeff's Bucket Shop but it sure seems like it. Our group arrived around 9:30 and there were maybe a dozen people there, multiple people in our group put their names on the karaoke list within 20 minutes. Fast forward three hours later and nobody from our group had been called up. We were being skipped by people who got to the bar two hours after us because they "tipped to skip", and some of the same people got on stage five times in a two hour timeframe. We really wanted to get our friend on stage because it was her birthday, so around 12:30 we pooled some money together for a "tip to skip" and were told it would still be another 30-60 minutes. If you really want to get on stage, bring a wad full of cash or you'll get bumped to the bottom of the list. Pretty disappointing experience.

Got hit so hard in the back by a drunk man that it knocked the breath out of me. Told the bouncer and he said "I'll watch him" he had already been at the bar at least two hours before causing chaos.
