🎤 Si tu prévois une soirée karaoké un vendredi, prépare-toi à patienter!
La file d'attente est interminable, & les jeunes du coin - déjà bien réchauffés - semblent décidés à s'approprier le micro pour la nuit.

🍺 Heureusement, la bière est excellente. Ça aide à faire passer le temps!

I ordered an Amaretto Sour & the bar tender made it perfectly. Lots of people having a great time. Karaoke was nice. There were no preferences between locals or tourists. You just had to make sure you queued up for the song you wanted to sing. Good singers & bad singers, it didn't matter. It was a great night of fun with people who know how to live & just have fun.

J'ai payé un drink 20$ pi je l'ai jamais eu ! J'ai attendu un bon 15-20 minutes, j'ai redemandé au barman & j'ai re attendu encore 10-15 minutes, & puis toujours pas. J'ai quitter le bar très déçu.

The staff were very welcoming & the food was delicious with large portions. There was no rush to finish our meal or leave our table, which I appreciated.
