Music Box Lounge

Had a great time. Good friends good bartender and lots of laughter!!! Can’t wait to come back again!!!

Used to be my favorite bar. Spent tons of money over the years. Unfortunately I was thrown out last week for no discernable reason. Very unfortunate for me since I leave a great many friends behind. Last week would have been 5 stars however now, 1 star is too many.

The bartender was completely rude when he didn’t need to be. I’ll never come here again. If I could give this place a zero I would.

I’m on the fence as to whether or not I actually like this place. I’ve only been twice, both for the DHP car show. Last year the car show was here in the parking lot so the atmosphere was really fun and everyone had a great time, they had a food truck and contests. This year I think they must have had the car show at Fuddruckers and just met up here after, so not a whole lot of people came. We were bummed out because we thought it would have been like previous years. Anyway, they have a DJ, and I met an older lady who has been coming here every saturday evening with her husband to dance. She was very sweet and it’s people like that in this bar that make it unique. The bartenders are nice and they also give you free popcorn. Drinks are cheap too.

So special lady friend was out of town, and I realized that I had only left the house once in the past 3 days to get groceries. So as it was a nice night and I decided to go for a walk and passed by this place. I will say I have lived and walked past this place for 2 years and finally my curiosity got the better of me. The bar tender was new and didn’t know how to make a white russian, clearly she has never seen «The Big Lebowski». So after I taught her how to make one, just as she was finishing the manager came along and was telling her off a little bit, as well I am guessing she made it too big… whatever. The prices were rather high for such a craptastic hole in the wall dive next to an ace hardware and bowling alley. When the people butchered Brittany Spears’ «Toxic» (yes it can be done, I know, I too was taken a back by that bit of knowledge) Followed by a guy who absolutely mutilated (and should be taken to the smoking patio and shot for doing so) Johnny Cash’s Folsom Prison Blues.
Well this dude does not abide! I killed my white russian and left to walk back home.
Bottom line: If you want to sit drinking mediocre drinks which you paid a premium for in an east side dive bar while listening to people suck at karaōke than this is the place for you, If you are like me however you will say to yourself «At least they have air conditioning»

I was there on fri night it was not very busy we ordered drinks and shots. Drinks were ok the shots we ordered were the worst I have ever had !

Well going to give it a try with friends tonight, but already not too thrilled because it’s not dog friendly! And when I called asking if it was or wasn’t the person on the phone wasn’t really friendly or down home. Let you know what I think later… to be fair.

Dropped in around 1am on a Thursday. Great crowd and friendly servers. Karaōke was going strong. A good time.

laid back environment. diverse crowd.
