Stooges Bar & Grill

Went there with some friends the beer was cold! The karaōke was fun to listen to! Friends had wings and a philly sandwich and they said it was alright to be expected.
I will say that this is a smoking bar. Maybe one of the only ones left in the country but if you smoke or don’t might it this place was fun!

Great hole in the wall!
Happy hour prices cannot be beat! 1.25 domestic beers… hits the spot for an after work stop!
The quesadillas are amazing! I love the chicken and veggie!
I’ve seen a lot of great looking food come out of the kitchen and I haven’t heard any complaints!
Prices are pretty reasonable!
Bartenders are always friendly and the sarcasm flows! Which is one of the reasons I keep coming back!

In musing over my many years and countless travels across this boundless globe, one shining memory amongst countless drab and dreary establishments is this hidden gem. Stooges, or should i say, the land of flowing bounty and angelic serenading voices, is by far the pinnacle of ambiance perfection. From the abounding choices on their bill of fare to the meade fit to quench a dying man’s final thirst for a hearty stout, the fond memories of this local saloon are innumerable as the stars in the heavens. The very saying «Stay a while, and listen» was coined at this house of the Siren’s call. As time immemorial tells us the Japanese art form of Karaōke first graced the shores of this fine nation at Stooges and was perfected by its patrons. If quiet solace and a lullaby fit for a king are what you seek, then you owe it to your self… nay, you you do yourself a disservice if you have yet to rest your weary soul at this, the moor of class and revelry. So answer the Siren’s call and traverse whatever boundless wastes you must, until at last you find yourself on the doorstep of eternal bliss.

Our favorite hole in the wall!
My boyfriend and I come regularly for karaōke. There’s a dance floor if you feel like cutting a rug.
The pitchers are cheap and the staff is fun. They like to do theme night sometimes on Sunday between the staff, which is pretty amusing (we saw super hero night).
There are three pool tables, so if you’re into that, it’s there. They might even have a pool league on Tuesdays.

Nice little hole in the wall. With great karoake. Would help with better alcohol selection.

Beware if you fear second hand smoke. This place is thick with smoke. You can almost swim through the air from the front door to the bar. It’s bad. It’s dark. And I like it.
This is where you want to be if you feel the need to see a train wreck or two. Every time I’ve been there, I’ve seen countless people drink a bit too much here which gives them enough courage to do what this place is really known for– Karaōke. It’s an awesome sight to behold. This place has a huge book of songs to choose from. From old school rock, rap, and country to recent hits. And the bar serves cheap enough drinks to fuel the courage of many those who need it to step onto the stage.
This place isn’t glamorous. Cinder block walls, inflatable beer swag decorations, and plenty of TVs showing whatever sporting event that may be going on that night. The bathrooms are sketchy; if you drop something in there I’d advise you to leave it. I have yet to order food there but from what I’ve seen you have your typical bar fare; fries, burgers, and sandwiches.
If you’re looking for a place to sing or watch people attempt to sing (don’t get me wrong, there are the occasional good singers that show up), this is a great place to come to. Just as long as you have a bottle of Febreeze or two to take care of your clothes afterwards.

So I really want to give this place a 3 star rating, but I just can’t bring myself to do it. There were really three things that stuck out in my mind about the joint:
It is a heavy smoker’s bar. I grew up going to Spain and I’ve never gotten quite the high from second hand smoke as I did this night.
The Song list was HUGE, like SUPER DUPER HUGE, and there were obscure things there, yet I could only find 3 songs in the list that worked for me when I normally find at least 5 in a list a quarter the size. It’s like having 1000 channels and there’s nothing good on TV.
Something was off with the speakers, or the microphone, or something. At first I thought, «man, if this is what I normally sound like how do my friends and other people cheer me on as I go out for Karaōke every week?» and then I noticed that everyone sounded a bit off the same way. I spoke up, the KJ thought that I just needed to belt it out more, she fiddled with the sound a bit, and it sounded better, but it still wasn’t quite on.
For the bar: Pretty standard. Too large to be called a dive bar, has pool tables and a small dance floor. Has it’s own group of standard/​local drunks that come in quite often and it seems like a bar that everyone knows everyone.
If you’re a smoker, want something low key with some Karaōke here and there, this could be your place… it just isn’t mine.

Low key local spot in outer va beach, not much of a crowed when I was there a couple fridays ago. Definitely a few good sports participating on the dance floor. Drinks were decently made and pretty cheap, plus karaōke and the dance floor. not to shabby!

Karaōke Hero Live!
Karaōke! Yeah! That’s how amped I was when I walked in fully intending on doing some karaōke with some old friends who already know that I can’t sing. We had our libation-​induced courage on and we were ready to belt out some old-​school tunes and damned whoever was listening! To Stooges we go, and at first I walked in and thought I was listening to the radio. But no, it was a young guy singing some Garth Brooks song I’d never heard before but was so beautiful that I teared up a little. We sat down to watch him finish, fully expecting for some talent of our caliber (the low kind) to follow. A girl got on stage and tore the house down with another song that I’d never heard (but everyone else was singing along to). And so it went, a whole string of amazing singers at this Karaōke bar. Wow! Needless to say we didn’t sing, but we did have a few drinks, grab some food and watch the entertainment. I don’t know if it’s always like that, but Wow! If so, I got to find a new place where I can sing badly.
