I'm not a huge fan of the Pines. Â I'll go there because people I'm with want to go there. Â The place is always crowded and always smokey. Â The karaoke often does not start on time and the KJ's don't really seem to care about hosting a good show.
When I go to sing karaoke I want to sing karaoke.
The Pines is a great place to grab a burger and a beer. Â Their menu is pretty good for it being "bar food" and they have some nice specials, too.
The draft beer selection is impressive, and the bar staff is quite courteous. Â Some nights they have karaoke, DJ's or live music. Â
If you're tired of the same ol, same ol, this place is worth checking out.
