Loves — Restaurant in Lake View Township

Been here several times, most recently went in at 8p with three friends, sitting at very back towards door. I asked bartender what they had on tap and ordered 2 octoberfest and “something sweet”. He pointed to cans they had and then went over to pour beers while I motioned to person to pick out the something sweet they wanted. The bartender was messed up or on something, he came back with the beers, poured them down the sink in front of me, directed profanity at me, and went to other side of bar. The people around me at the bar had no idea what was going on, they apologized and said they didn’t know what was happening. I tried to ask the bartender but he ignored. It was not a busy time, several empty tables and this place can get packed. Couldn’t recommend anymore. I will actively recommend against here now to everyone I know. There are other karaoke bars around. Go there instead, this place has changed. This is a bad...

I'm a pet peeve of one of the Karaoke Jockeys there. Every time I am in the queue, no matter if I just arrived, he would put my name at the end of the queue even if some people in the queue have already sung at least once. And worse, sometimes when I ask, he would tell me the wait to sing is 45 minutes but I find myself being called only after 75-90 minutes. Sometimes I won't be called at all until I check and he would say he lost the slip and I just have to put in a song again. Sometimes I would tell him to up the song 2 half steps higher but he would do two half steps lower. I just don't know why he does that to me. I just want to sing karaoke and enjoy. The two other Jockeys were great - I think one of these 2 is named Creagh. The other one I dunno his name but he's very cool, too and sings mostly...

You might have to wait 2 hours to get on stage for karyoke. I’ve been to a few Saturday karaoke nights. Always the same DJ. The Venmo tip placards are new. If you tip the DJ and show the Venmo receipt he will move you up to the front of the list. He will point to the Venmo qr code when asking how long the wait is. Seems like the dj’s friends who sing screamo/heavy metal get on stage frequently which is cool, but the favoritism is annoying. The dj also seemed to not care about the length of the list because he enjoyed to talk between performances which was only 30 seconds, but with such a long wait, he needs to be more considerate of time. Most annoying thing last night was the dj getting on stage to sing a song after we had been waiting for 2 hours to sing. Very small, cute...
