This place should've just stayed close after the pandemic happened.

Went there with a bunch of friends for karaoke. Everything was fine and we were all having a great time, until this one woman grabbed the mic and scolded our friends saying:

"I know you guys are not regulars, but we don't bring drinks to the dance floor."

Now if she had just asked nicely if we could not have our drinks with us on the dance floor, then we would have obliged... but the fact that she had the audacity to get on the mic and say that to us as if she was scolding us? Not ok.

I think she felt empowered to say this to us on the mic because: 1) she's obliterated 2) she just got engaged (one of her other friend approached us and told us she just got engaged -- as if that excuses her trashy behavior) 3) she's friend with one of the staff (white guy that took our karaoke request slip before the KJ got there was in her group and proceeded to give us the death stare when he noticed that we were not gonna take her attitude).

After this, she proceeded to shrill out a classic Whitney Houston song, which did not sound good. Oh and she did all of this with a drink in her hand...which is ironic and actually very funny, because I feel like her being on the dance floor she was trying to protect earlier.

Towards the end of her butchering a Whitney Houston song, her worker friend approached the KJ booth and next thing you know, her fiancée was NOW next to sing an Ed Sheeran song even though my friend was told on the mic that he was next.

Oh, and before I forget, the KJ prioritizes people who are regulars or those give him tips, so if you're not a regular or you don't plan on tipping the KJ, then expect to be called an hour after you put in your request.

Stay classy, Recessions!

P.S. The bartenders were amazing though! They were on point and made sure our drinks were...

I visited Recessions this past Wednesday. I was in town on business and like to visit karaoke bars. This place has great reviews, so I was very surprised that I had a not-so-great experience.

The bartenders were welcoming, the drinks good and reasonably priced. The issue was with the karaoke. I arrived at 10pm, which is two hours before they closed at midnight, and I put a song in right away. I didn't get to sing until the very last song of the night, at midnight, after the lights were on and they were trying to get everyone out. Several other people got to sing three times in that same two hours. When I checked with the KJ to see if my request was lost, she said that this is just how she likes to do the rotations. I confirmed with a regular that preference is given to regulars and drop-ins might not get to sing at all.

So, if you are a local and want a regular karaoke bar, this is the place for you. But if you are visiting and only dropping in for one evening, I would suggest going somewhere else if you actually want to do karaoke. I won't be back on my next...
