    Awesome spot for a bachelorette group! There are two bars - one side has karaoke and the other had a DJ and dance floor on a Saturday night. Pro tip: go dance while you wait for your karaoke song!

    Chill place, cool ambiance that gives you the sensation of a tiny, secretive bar. The drinks were on point and our bartender was awesome. The happy-hour food is really great!

    They have Redd's!!!! Big plus! Environment is a bit crazy but fun on a late night. The back room and jukebox add a nice comfy ambience to it. Pepperoni pizza is great!

    Just re-done and has good vibe and decor, plus extra space! Spans from Dearborn to Plymouth, entrances on each side. Always have a good time when we come!

    Karaoke daily at 6:00 pm. Great place for an after work happy hour since karaoke doesn't start until 8:00 pm at most places or is only on the weekend.

    Awesome spot, if you're looking for a Cheer's this is it. Everyone is nice. Bring your own grub if you're hungry. Good karaoke, overall just a good place.

    Karaoke on Friday nights! Chill bad, a little loud, but a number of small tables for a small group.

    Great atmosphere. Small karaoke stage but two bars. Weather permitting I prefer the back patio.

    The only other place this diverse is the Jackson Red Line stop. Love $5 pizza/$6 peach martini Friday special. Chill, unpretentious. Definitely coming back.

    Drinks are reasonably priced so drink fast if you're in the karaoke part of the club or you'll kill yourself!

    At 50+ years old, we are easily 20+ years older than the next data point, but a good vibe.

    Wasn't overly impressed. The space has limited seating and the bar gets packed.

    The karaoke is terrible here. The atmosphere is energetic, but obnoxious. Liquor selection pretty good, but bartenders unskilled. The place is ok when it's not very busy.
