Ernie's Interlude Cocktail Lounge

I was kicked out because of something that went down (mutually) between a different bar and owner. Then one day, like any other day,I stopped in for a drink and I was told that I can't be there because of that incident. I don't know how they could do that, when I have never been disrespectful or anything to Ernies?!

This is a really fun place for karaoke. The drinks are strong and well priced. People are friendly.

I'm actually writing this review as a response to ADAY J, I was there that night, it was extremely packed, I wasn't even getting my drinks quickly and I am a regular, they know exactly what I want. When you didn't get quick enough service you copped an attitude which if I was a bartender that's not how your going to get me to move quickly. Then you decided to throw a drink at the bartender because somehow not getting your drinks fast enough warrants that kind of an action. As far as your check goes the three different cards you gave them would not go through due to insufficient funds so there was no receipt they could give you. One of the other patrons at the bar paid your $35 tab so you would leave without causing more of a scene. Which by the way, the average drink price there is about six dollars, so therefore you got six drinks, that to me doesn't seem like you weren't getting any service... Just sayingI've been coming to the Interlude for over 15 years, it is one of the best neighborhood bars in the area. Super friendly bartenders and an atmosphere that is fun and inviting. Also, the drinks are super cheap and strong lol

My husband and I are regulars at this bar. We come nearly every weekend for karaoke. All of the bartenders are amazing. The karaoke is super fun, and the people who go, are so much fun.

Racist bar against African American people. Kelly bartender did not serve me and my fiance drinks. Watched her fill other Caucasians drinks to the rim of alcohol in big glass. I had to scream her name when the music was off for service and she still did not serve us. Didn't want to give us our checks and watched her argue with another biracial couple about their drinks. Do not recommend this bar for African Americans. Never thought in Carmichael, I would experience racism.

A fun place with fun people and friendly service. Karaoke on numerous nights and we'll lit parking lot.

My favorite bar! Been coming here for years, great customers with diverse backgrounds and views. I've had great conversations, met a lot of great friends while talking and singing. New patrons always tell me how welcome they feel. No fighting allowed or you're 86'd.

Bartenders are good place is clean popcorn a nice touch all is negated by a very lousy Karaoke Host. She has no idea how to mix music or run a fair Roation puts up her friendd and ignores newcomers this busness will continue to lose business on Karaoke nights untell they replace the rude host.

I am basing my 5 stars on my one and only visit there so far. A small group of friends and I went in on a Thursday, around 8 or 9 pm, and they had Karaoke going. The vibe was good, nice chill people just wanting to have fun.The bar tender was great, she was busy but didn't miss a beat. The place is clean, and light, not what I imagined from the reviews I read. It's not upscale and it's not dingy. It's a cool place. I will be going there with my groups again for sure. Drinks were inexpensiveDidn't see a menu or ask for one - So I don't know the food situationSeating surrounds the bar and a few high tops around
