The Powwow Saloon

Love the Powwow. I think they may have changed owners because the staff is young and fun. Great place to stretch those Karaoke muscles.

Free popcorn to help sober you up, coffee, and a pool table. The Karaoke system has a little reverb to help you sustain those notes.

The place can be a little dead, so depends on how interactive of a crowd you want.

Ah the pow wow. I've been here too many times to say I don't like it. It's always a fun experience when I go, people are drunk and singing karaoke. Sometimes it's really packed, other times its empty with old people, it varies but it's not a place you go to and hang out all night. it's kind of a last spot to drink at before you go home. Bartenders are ehh, I've seen better. Attire is anything goes. And it's really loud so if you take someone on a date don't plan in getting to know each other, just get drunk.

I came here on a Friday night.

Apparently its a cool karaoke spot.

Wrong.

I instantly dropped 2 stars when I walked up front to the security guard. He was being creepy by the entrance. Just looking like a big dumb retard. I was about to walk in and he looked at me like I was dumb and just motioned for my ID.

I guess when you're stupid you can't really talk.

I told him I didn't know he was security because he was in street clothes and he didn't say anything. I asked him for his uniform and he told me he left it at home. The whole time I was just trying to lighten the mood. I'm a nice guy, you know?

So in I go. I tried getting a beer at the bar and the bartender was just damn dumb. Like I didn't exist almost. It wasn't even that busy.

Tell me why the dude in a Dodgers bomber jacket, looking like he stepped off the set of Blood In Blood Out... starts belting out a 80's rock love ballad?

I karaoke at this one spot where everyone is supportive. Doesn't matter how terrible you are. Here, once you're done. No one really claps. There's like an awkward silence. Not very cool.

Couple little kids dressed like they wanted to dougie out in the parking lot also threw me off. You know the type. Playing pool, thinking its cool, post it on FB and IG to make your friends jealous.

Someone decided to celebrate their birthday here.... I wouldn't, personally. Maybe if you live in the area and are a local/have history with this place.... but there was no excuse for this girl to be in heels and a dress at this place taking shots like this was a club.

Won't be back here again. Cool name though.
