Rockstarz

This place is pretty interesting.  And not in a  "ooooh, this place is INTERERSTING!!", but more of a, "umm, okay. wow." way.  They have a stage. Nice! They have props (cue guitar solo!).  They have a microphone and they have food and drinks. (So far, so good!) What more can I say?

The crowd was a bit different than what I am used to (yes, I know, this is in the burbs of Detriot), but there were definitely some regulars and it was PACKED.  People were singing and having a good time, which is what you want at a karaoke bar.  It was 70's night so you were supposed to pick a 70's song, which many people did, but many people sang other things.  They give you free popcorn, which seemed really nice - until I found out that the popcorn may or may not be a few days old.  

My main problem with this place was the drink selection and the drinks themselves.  It is nice to have a lady roaming around asking you for shots every 15 minutes, but when you say no, the first 3 times - I am pretty sure you are not going to say "Yeah!!" the next 15.  Super annoying. And, since when did I want radio active drinks with no alcohol?  Never.  I am not TOO picky about my fruity drinks, but when I want a fruity drink, I don't want to feel like I may end up getting some terminal illness from it.  My partner in crime and siblings also were not impressed at the low-alcohol content in their alcoholic drinks, but we were there to sing, so we cringed down our drinks and proceeded to try and enjoy ourselves.

Except, we really couldn't since the DJ gets to decide what HE wants to hear and proceeds to bump up songs that 1) fit with the theme and 2) are what his regulars want.  NOT COOL.  Waiting 3 hours to sing a song you selected when you first walked in is a bit of a buzz kill.  Not to mention that when you first walked in, there were only 5 other people in the place.  

If we go here again- fine, but I'm bringing my own booze and singing my own songs in the corner a

I used to be a regular at Rockstarz, and I loved it. After being there tonight for the first time in months, I will NEVER set foot in there again. First of all, our waitress was overwhelmingly incompetent. Second of all, the karaoke rotation was absolute bulls**t. For an establishment that prides itself in being a "karaoke bar" 7 nights/week, there is no excuse for the fact that my friends and I watched multiple people sing two or three times while we waited to sing the songs we had turned in hours ago. The K.J. (karaoke jockey)  even sang several songs, and played numerous dance songs while we waited for our turn. When we finally went up to ask him about it, he rudely told us he was "trying to get back to us". This confused me since we hadn't been on stage once, so how could he be getting "back" to us?? We never got to sing. It saddens me to have lost what was one of my favorite bars because they seem to have lost sight of what they set out to be in the first place. If you are looking for a good karaoke bar, I highly recommend you look elsewhere.

The service here can be hit or miss. I usually go to see my friend sing in a karaoke bar and do not always drink. On the nights that I do the service is a lot better than on the nights that I just choose to have a snack or get dinner. The kitchen
Can be slow but the food is decent bar food. Pretty entertaining place but wouldn't make a trip out of my way.
