Rickshaw Lounge

Came here friday night after hearing some things about their karaoke on friday nights. This dive bar makes some of the other dive bars I've been to around the city look like upscale bars. This bar looks like nothing from the outside and the interior isn't much better. The karaoke was entertaining as there are regulars here that really made the karaoke "interesting". I just had a few bottled beers here as the liquor selection was kind of limited. Not many call or premium brand liquors to choose from.

The Rickshaw is a dive bar. The service is pretty good and is frequented by what appears to be a lot of local regulars. I went on a Friday night around 9:30 and karaoke started up about 10:30 PM. Good selection of songs and plenty of room to accommodate the performer and spectators. However, aside from a couple of singers (one being a bartender) these people may hate music. The bar is low for belting out tunes, but as long as everyone is having a good time, I guess that's all that matters.I didn't stay long because I was pretty worn out from Jazz Fest, but this is the place to go if you want to try out karaoke for the first time....all are welcome to participate and there is no judgment. How can there be? Bottom line, the regulars are nice, but mostly keep to themselves and the bartenders are very attentive.

This place is top notch for a dive bar. If you want to smell like stale cigarettes and drink cheap toilet grade vodka, this is your place!

Great local bar friendly staff good drinks great friends pool, darts, jukebox and karaoke on Friday nights always a good time
