I'm giving this place five stars because I know how these sites work. Â If I give it the one star that it deserves then this post will be deleted. Â I went there a couple of week ago and it was a so so place. Nothing great but then as we were leaving this guy attacked another guy. Â It was not a fight, he just hit this other guy with a bottle and then took off. Â They left the guy on the ground but why I give this place one star is the fact that the bartender refused to call the cops or the ambulance for this guy who was assaulted. Â He had to call himself. I later found out that he was a regular. Â I'm never going in that place if that's how they treat their "regulars".
Review Source:Love this place! Went there for Saturday night karaoke. Sang a bit of Springsteen, then realized this crowd loves to party and sang some Kesha (they were generous to me on both counts). They have virtually any song you want that was ever played on mainstream radio; they had "maps" by the yeah yeah yeahs (what? yes.) The karaoke man has a beautiful voice, as do many of the regulars. By 12:30, an all out dance party erupted. They serve their mixed drinks in small plastic cups. Cash only, but there's an ATM that charges a $2.50 service fee. Reminds me of the bars in my hometown in NH.
Review Source:Karaoke on Thursday nights.
Order a Budweiser and a shot of Jack. Then order another.
Bum a Newport and puff on the porch with a Vietnam vet.
God Bless America.
The only reason for losing a star is that there are no late night munchies available to accompany a belly full of whiskey. Not sure if the kitchen closes early or doesn't exist at all...but generally around 11:30pm, Tommy want wingy.
This is a place for the older folks (if the Cadillacs and Buicks in the parking lot didn't give it away). The drinks are reasonably priced and most of the patrons are regulars who know each other. There's karaoke and most songs are 80s and prior. The patrons know each other so well that they'll joke with each other, know what songs who will want to sing next, so forth. It's a homely atmosphere, but it's hard for me to rate this place because I'm only in my 20s.
Review Source:The Oasis is a local hang-out for the older crowd. If you feel the need to be ironic, go somewhere else. Down-to-earth regulars getting out of the house and relaxing - that's a good thing. They used to have live music and big weekend dance crowds - those days are gone. If you're willing to sit down and start talking to your neighbor, you could have a good time here.
Review Source:so yeah...the Oasis 'Cocktail Lounge' yeah...OK, I'm ready to admit that I've spent some time there (no, I am not a convicted felon) and ya know...I have to say - it's not entirely disgusting.
Really, if you go in there with the understanding that you are entering a total dive (plus, it helps to make this one of your last stops of the night) you actually may feel like kind of a winner in a relative sort of way.
In any case, this place is a fairly typical dive bar: cheap bottles of domestic swill, a fair assortment of booze & mixers, lifelong boozers, chain smokers, nasty-ass bathrooms and low ceilings...however, the bartenders (and generally, your fellow boozehounds) seem to be nice, working-class type people (Kathleen & Brian are the two that I've met) and YES! they have karaoke on Thursdays (and maybe Sundays? I dunno, since I tend to be blotto every time I go to this place).
So yeah, get your dive on at the Oasis! Just don't bring your snarky-ass suburban rich-kid attitude or you'll getcher ass handed to ya...
