I'm not a small man and at 6'5 I am perpetually bumping my head. They do have Karaoke, but not the largest selection of songs ever. I mostly go when my friends are going and that always makes every place better. IMHO. On Tuesdays go upstairs to the Gravel Bar for an all you can eat Taco bar, by the lady that used to own Lili's Diner downtown. Delicious.

If you are wondering what the future of the Missouri Social Scene is going to look like, the Tipsy…read moreTurtle is a good place to start. Advertised as an "everybody welcome"-"come as you are" establishment, the Tipsy Turtle will not disappoint the diversity seeking youth and youth lovers of tomorrow. Boys who like girls, girls who like boys, boys who like boys, girls who like girls, boys who like boys and girls, and girls who like girls and boys are all welcome. This established has been decorated entirely by its patrons with $1 bills and welcomed graffiti. The drink menu is well suited to its environment and its patron's pocket books. My only suggestions for this wild rompus room is beginning an open mic night separate from the karaoke night. As long as you are mostly clothed and leave your judgements at the door, you will feel comfortable and enjoy the ride.

This is a redneck bar, it has two pool tables and some electronic darts in the back. There are…read morepeople of all ages that come here, it is an ok bar if you want a secret local bar. Prices are cheap usually and they have karaoke on some nights. The party seems to get to full steam about 11pm, everyone is dancing and singing and just talking as loud as they can be. Lots of woman here, but, if she's really good looking her man is somewhere so becareful, fights are known to start and end just as fast as you turn your head, but everyone watches everyones back. Have money for the Jukebox if karaoke is not going on. They usually have a Karaoke Contest of some sort going on. Good Dive Bar, but there are better in Springfield in my opinion.

Located above Agrario restaurant is the Bodega Bar. Whether you're looking for a basic drink or…read moresomething exotic, Bodega never disappoints. Ted, the master of the cocktail, is always inventing new drinks. On a recent visit I tried the Pegu Cocktail a refreshing blend of gin, Cointreau, and bitters. Sweet and sassy, it went down smooth. Plus, if you visit on a slow night and sit at the bar, maybe you'll be lucky enough to get Ted to tell you all about liquor. The guy really knows his stuff! Smoke eaters strategically poistioned around the bar make this a pleasant almost smoke-free experience.

Bought tickets online and it stated the doors opened at 6 pm and show starts at 7 pm. Got there at 6:15 pm and were about 150 -200 ft from the entrance in line. It took till 7:15 to get to the door, in the rain. When we got to the door, we asked why the line was moving so ridiculously slow. They stated they were checking ID's. Its an all ages show. Instead of scanning tickets (the ones with the barcode), they were looking it up by name. Then, they stated anyone under 21 had to pay a $5 minor charge! No mention of this on the website, tickets or venue info. Just an outright money grab. Could have made some points up by foregoing the $5 and saying sorry we made you wait in the rain for an hour and miss the beginning of the show. Instead, we got attitude from the meat head working the counter. Be aware that this was a Christian music concert, so between sets the venue blared gangster rap with vulgar lyrics, knowing full well there were children in the crowd. Just absolutely classless. Won't be returning to this venue.

Yes, it's run down and a little gross, but that's part of the appeal: it looks like a place Social Distortion or Anthrax might have played when they were getting their start. When you view the grungy nature of the bar through that lens, it's easy to see how its filth connects modern music fans to the intellectual roots of the artists they enjoy. That said, it does have a couple of less desirable qualities, chief among which is the degree of preference given to well-known locals over out-of-towners. This trend is no secret, as made obvious by the plethora of other reviews here saying as much - but it's still a relatively minor nit to pick about a bar that's otherwise in good (if fading) company. Come here when you're looking for a no-frills, down and dirty good time. Avoid it when you want to sip $15 martinis at a high-end bar with trendy decor.
