Akiko's

When searching for a place for fun, drunken singing, and cheap drinks Akikos is a decent choice.

You can rent out the place pretty cheap for a few hours before they open to the general public. Great option for private singing/only your friends judging your talents. They have a gigantic song book with old and current radio hits, and if you're lucky enough the DJ will do a duet with you. Our performance consisted of Macklemore's "Thrift Shop". I, of course, was Macklemore with the DJ doing a fantastic Ryan Lewis impersonation.

This place is more on the dive bar side, with the karaoke room being a blackout room with no windows.  But if you've had a couple drinks and always wondered what the Kenney Chesney song "Big Star" song, minus Banana Joe's Bar, was all about then head to Akikos for non-stop laughs and legendary performance.

As a karaoke fiend I checked this place out.  I came early on a Friday night and there were only a few people and it stunk of cleaning fluid like the usual dive bar where some dude just threw up on the floor.  Not impressed, but after a few drinks elsewhere I returned and the place was packed!  And packed with hot women.  I thought I saw the most beautiful woman and then another, and another, and another.  It was like a sorority in there.  There's a bar and pool table in the front room and karaoke stage and tables in back.  It was an interesting mix of people but that night mostly hot young women.  So naturally I decided to go back Saturday night, and although there were a few hotties, not as many and coming in late it took too long to get my song up so I left.  I guess a hit-or-miss place, but seriously, when it rains it pours.

Fun, cheap, and lots of fun.  Really cool DJ.  The drinks - sake are fun and great to bring a bunch of friends to.  I love this place.  Had such a great time there the two times I went there.
