A Review of “Buddha’s Killa Karaoke” at Ye Tavern of 1683

Lo! Upon a recent eve, I ventured forth to partake in revelry most unorthodox at the storied establishment known as 1683. Within this hallowed house of libation and camaraderie was housed a singular delight of modern merriment: Buddha’s Killa Karaoke. ’Twas an experience both extraordinary and sublime, wherein the vocal prowess (or lack thereof) of patrons was put on raucous display for the mirth of all who gathered.

The host, a master of ceremonies most jovial and adept, didst guide the proceedings with wit and alacrity, coaxing even the most timid souls unto the stage. His cheer was contagious, his wisdom akin to that of the eponymous Buddha, yet tempered with the ferocity befitting a “killa.”

The catalogue of song was nigh inexhaustible, spanning ditties ancient and modern. From ballads most melancholy to anthems of triumphant revelry, all were present and accounted for. Each singer, be they virtuoso or vociferous amateur, was met with equal measure of applause and goodwill, for such is the spirit of this noble gathering.

The ambience of 1683 did but enhance the evening’s enchantment. Beers of many brews and spirits both stout and sweet flowed freely, emboldening many a reluctant bard to seize the mic. The space was intimate yet ample, allowing for fellowship whilst preserving the sanctity of each performer’s moment in the limelight.

If thou seekest a diversion that doth blend mirth, music, and the sweet elixir of human connection, look no further than Buddha’s Killa Karaoke at 1683. Verily, it is an event to quicken the heart, delight the ear, and forge memories to last an eternity.

We were a party of 6 and tried the restaurant based on their high Google rating. The restaurant has only a few tables but also has a bar. We ordered burgers, sandwiches, wraps and appetizers. The food was very good and the service was good until... Our bill was $132, $156 with a 18% tip. We paid, left the restaurant, talked a bit in the parking lot and my family was approached by a "gentleman" yelling that we hadn't tipped the waitress. With a recently broken foot, I limped back into the restaurant and explained math to the waitress and that everything adds up to $156 including your 18% tip. She said ok. Well, a nice afternoon out left us all embarrassed and definitely not returning to this bar. In my opinion the manager should have comped the entire meal after he made such a stink, embarrassing us all and not even having the decency to come out from hiding and apologize for...

As a proud Marine Mom, I like to support businesses that show love for our USMC active, reserves, vets, etc. My son is currently stationed in Okinawa, so when I saw the Marine flag outside, we knew this was our spot to grab a bite! We were originally just craving wings, but ended up ordering a few other things too and WOW, it was all SO worth it!

Everything was hot, fresh, and nicely packaged. The wings were amazing, but the giant pretzel? Next-level delicious! The girl that helped us was super sweet, and the overall vibe was calm and friendly. I walked in with my two young daughters to pick up the food, and even though they felt a bit out of place at first, the smiles and chill atmosphere made us all feel welcomed.

I can’t wait for my boy to come home on leave so I can bring him here to enjoy it with us. We’ll...
