Hong Kong At Faneuil Hall

Do NOT go here if you want to sing karaoke unless you are willing to pay for it.  My friends and I arrived at 8:45 p.m. and karaoke begins at 9 p.m.  We put our names in the system (computerized, not pieces of paper) and there were four people in front of us.  By 10 p.m. we still had not been called, and our names had dropped down the list over and over again.  Why?  Other people were tipping the karaoke dj and getting bumped up the line.  Ultimately, we left never getting a chance to sing.  DO NOT GO HERE.  The place across the street, Wild Rover, has karaoke and way nicer employees.

Heaven. On. Earth.

If and when I do get married, I'm hiring those teriyaki guys to walk the reception floor. Can I do that?

Hong Kong, you beautiful diamond in the rough. This is the place I've been searching for my whole life.

Now to be honest my memory of my last night there is a little hazy.  After the second scorpion bowl all I really remember is blowing my paycheck on chicken teriyaki and someone singing Whitney Houston...

Pros:
Karaoke- The guy who was running it was really chill and had basically any song I could think of.  They even had Tenacious D....

Scorpion Bowls- They are no joke. I consider myself a pretty seasoned drinker, and I still got my butt kicked by these goblets of sweet fire water.

Chicken Teriyaki Man- Need I say more? A man roaming around with $1 hot chicken on a stick? Amazing. He's pretty easy to find, just look for the man with the "Teriyaki" t-shirt.

Small- Not a tiny place, but very intimate, get there early and get a spot to set up shop for the night.  

Nice bouncers- Very odd for Boston, where it seems like every other bouncer is angry that his AFL dream never came true and is determined to take it out on everyone.

Cons:
Only one karaoke mic.  It can get a little uncomfortable singing cheek to cheek with your bro.
Other than that, I can't think of anything. Granted I've never been here before 8, and I've never ordered any food.

Bottom Line:

If you want a cool little dive bar where you can have fun and make a fool of yourself whilst singing "I wanna dance with somebody", this is the place to do it.  Order a scorpion bowl, or 5, and watch the night slowly fade in darkness.
