Went for karaoke. It was terrible.
We went and put our names in to sing. But between each person singing, the DJ plays a full song. It effectively doubles the wait time on an already long list. Then, if you want to go again. Your wait is going to be much longer, as the DJ doesn't go by submission. Someone in our group put in about 30 minutes after us, then went to sing before us. When we asked why the answer was they are trying to get people who haven't gone yet... What if we had two people with the same first name? Or some else there had that first name? Even the DJ took a turn and it blows my mind how poorly managed it was. Spare screens off that could easily be setup to show who's up next. You could do multiple people in a row then do a dance floor break. You could turn up the mic volume so people singing can actually be heard.
Numerous things that can be improved on to make an actual good karaoke night.
EDIT: I stumbled on this old review I made. If you want a genuinely good karaoke experience, looked up "The W Lounge".. You can get your own personal room for your group with server for relatively cheap if your group contributes. We did $75 an hour and it was the best karaoke I've ever...
Read moreI've been coming here for a couple months playing in their Sunday blind dart tournament. This place is great. Jason is the owner, an awesome host, and steward of the establishment. You can tell he prides himself on running a bar with a fun atmosphere, tasty bar food, and good entertainment. I cannot criticize the location or interior. It is exactly what it says it is... a local hole in the wall casual hot spot serving up tasty typical bar food at an affordable price, with darts, billiards, Golden Tee, karaoke, and dancing. If you visit and it isn't your cup of tea, don't ruin the environment with your sour attitude. Just go elsewhere. Nobody is going to care because the vibe I've gotten since day one is they appreciate any and all that show up to patronize the business, but aren't offended if it's not up to your standards. I wish Throw Backs continued success and plan to be a happy returning customer for...
Read moreNice sports bar. Pool tables, lots of seating. We were there for a closed event. Music was way too loud for conversation, and most of the bar area is very dark. We couldn't read the menus and had to move to a more well lit part away from people we wanted to interact with. They have a good selection of food on their menu. The food was marginally ok, and it took a long time to receive it after ordering. I ordered a chicken Caesar wrap. It came as a wrap that had been on a panini press. The lettuce inside was hot, wilted and watery. The chicken was very tasty, though. Partner's hamburger was well done when he ordered rare. The mushroom appetizer was good. We both had salads, and the lettuce was turning brown. Not fresh at all. Not sure if we...
