The best staff and regulars who I become friends with every time I go. Cole is so lovely and Nicole makes the best cocktails. The food is also amazing! Can’t go wrong with Brando’s

Such a classy spot with karaoke! 🎤 The night I went, it was mostly Spanish songs 🇪🇸, which made for a really fun vibe. The singers were all about having a good time first and talent second, just the way karaoke should be 😄. Bartender Danny was super chill 🍹 and made ordering easy. They didn’t have the first two random beers I asked for, but he recommended a similar drink and it was actually really good 👍. Definitely a great place to unwind, sing, and enjoy some drinks! 🎶✨

This was my third time at this establishment. Always busy and a super fun experience. Very diverse, and karaoke friendly. I’ve seen 20 yr old and 70 yr old patrons celebrate their birthday. Nice welcoming environment. Their specialty drinks are delicious.
