Sooo this has been my first time back since 2013. I must say it is a nice, environment for people who really want to just have fun. I went on Thursday which is karaoke night, and I like that it is all set up for you to pick your own song.They have social distancing and they disinfect the microphones each use. I know that I will be coming back again, especially for the karaoke.
