I have gone to Miss Darla's many times. Every time we went, we waited hours and hours for our names to be called to sing. We would usually get there before it got busy and STILL never get called up!
Our last visit a few weeks ago for my birthday was the last straw. My cousin put her song choice in around 10pm. People were getting called up that came in AFTER she put her song choice in! Then the DJ went up to one of the regulars who has the same name as my cousin (Melissa) and she said it wasn't her song choice and we watched him throw her song away! Hello! There are more people out there named Melissa other than "Melissa Sparkles".
If you're not a regular, or there for a special occasion (i.e. a bachelorette party), don't expect to get a chance to sing.
We also went there for my other friends birthday back in June. He put his song choice in and was actually called up to sing. He tried to put another song in and they said he was only allowed one song, but the regulars were allowed to sing a handful of times.
I am finding a new spot to spend my money.
I am not into Dive Bars, but in terms of dive bars, this place is FANTASTIC. WOW! Clean, cheap and strong drinks, nice fire place. Just a great vibe all around. There isn't much to do in Vacaville, but if you need a place to drink for the evening, check this place out. Super clean bathrooms too!
Review Source:This is a pretty cool bar. Â Their prices are reasonable and the bartenders are usually friendly. Â They have karaoke which is fun, since there are hardly ever any good singers, you get cheap entertainment. Â They have a couple pool tables in the corner. Â Pretty much just an average bar, but still worth trying. Â Seems to get full of bikers sometimes. They only take cash though, but they have an ATM.
Review Source:So I went to Darla's for my 21st birthday and had a BLAST! I invited a ton of my coworkers and close friends and we drank all night long, some people even got up to dance. I will be going back!
Quick shout out to the bartender, whose hand was pretty heavy, and the Karaoke DJ who was super nice!
Never even knew this existed until I looked here and I've been living around Vacaville since I was 10 years old. My friend came to visit from Japan and we had an urge to sing "Don't Stop Believing" by Journey. My friends and I came in and were welcomed immediately. There were interesting things in there like a firepit, darts, two pool tables, and a wide selection of songs to sing Karaoke. Most regulars that probably go there all the time, sang country songs a lot. Our group wanted to sing oldies and they were cool about it. Everyone is just so friendly and it feels totally cozy there. I recommend going there if you love to sing and it's a late night when there's nothing to do in good old Cowtown.
Review Source:Good place to go have a few. Great drinks at a good price. The Karaoke sure makes the time pass with lots of laughs. Great mixed crowd from 25-40. We've been there a handful of times & it seems like we have a better time each time we go.
Update, we'er there all the time! Kelly is the best bartender with one hell of a voice.
Gotta love a bar with stiff drinks and karaoke.  I love the resident "kj", Kenny.  He's hilarious and has a large selection of songs.  Don't even bother looking through the binders, just think of a song you wanna belt out and he'll check if he has it.  I'm willing to bet  he does- 2 or 3 different versions of it-and if he doesn't, he'll make sure he get sit so it's ready for ya when you come back. Â
The bartenders are awesome, so is the door guy (BG)- ask him to do his version of NIN's "Closer". Â ;)
Kinda wish they took plastic at the bar, but then again, it's probably a good thing you can't open a tab lol
Wish they served food, that's why I took a star.
Excellent bar with one of a kind entertainment. I have been going to Miss Darla's for years. The drinks are reasonably priced and the bar staff is very professional. The residential karaoke dj's Kenny & Dave are entertaining as well. The patrons of Miss Darla's are mixed and the music sung is more than just country. I think I heard a rendition of Vanilla Ice's "Ice, Ice Baby" the other day. So if your looking for a place to hangout, come on down to Miss Darla's.
Review Source:It only got a five from me because this is Vacaville lol I'm from El Paso TX but this place was pretty neat. mixed crowd. Mostly younger 21-35 with some older folk sprinkled into the mix. People do take their Karaoke serious here. Has a patio for smoking or just chilling. Also a fire pit inside which was neat. Service was friendly Karaoke selection good and Cheap Strong Drinks.
Review Source:People take their karaoke pretty serious here. Lots of country songs being sung. Drinks are at a good price. I don't think bartender knows how to make a Cosmo, though. Friendly staff. Everyone minds their own business.
This looks like a place with a lot of regulars. I went on a Thursday night so it wasn't too busy. Let's just say I've been to better karaoke bars where everyone's laughing and cheering.
If your looking for a cozy friendly place that serves strong inexpensive drinks with amazing bartenders, go to Miss Darla's. Â Best bar in the Fairfield/Vacaville area if your not into Hip Hop. Â Lots of Harley riders, but the outgoing friendly type that love to sing Karaoke and play pool.
