I munched on hot Cheetos and drank soju and had a great time singing the night away! We got two mics. One was louder than the other and even though we asked the staff, they "fixed" it but didn't really. When selecting songs from YouTube on the screen, we had to be sure to pick videos that had lyrics. We messed up several times so that was annoying. Other than that, it was a nice time with my girl friends!

We found Roc The Mic online and made a reservation for one of their private rooms. A nonrefundable $100 deposit is required to book and $40 a person gets you a 2 hour slot. This place is a little hidden away in kind of an unassuming location. It's tucked away but the signage sticks out; just the directions. Your whole party has to be present to check in and the entire balance of your party has to be paid on one card before everyone can get in. They inspected the bags we brought in because things like outside food, hard liquor, and glasses bottles are not allowed. You can BYOB but the beverages need to be in cans. There is a little mini fridge in the rooms to keep the drinks cold ($20 BYOB fee per their policy). We got the Disco room and settled in. The decor was fun and on theme. Only thing that was a bummer was our disco ball didn't work, but the ambiance was still enjoyable. The staff member Isaac gave us the rules of the room (like no jumping on the furniture) and the rundown on how to use the queue, microphones, and iPad. It was all really user friendly. You can even scan the catalog from a QR code and use your phone to search for the perfect song and to add/remove songs from the queue. You get two microphones for those sweet duets or you can just belt it out all together (like we did for most of ours). The catalog of songs was expansive!!!! There was not one song we searched for that we couldn't find. There were other rooms in use but the sound proofing in there must be top notch because we didn't hear anyone else and were grateful no one else heard us either. You get two hours in the room and time really flies when you're having fun. Once we got those first nervous jitters out it was an all out blast. Highly recommend for birthdays, bachelorettes/bachelors, celebrations, and the like. We will surely be back! Oh, just a heads up. There is a massive mannequin in one of the bathrooms hanging up on the wall (it's a little a la Gladys from Friends season 10 episode 6) and with the lights off and other lights flashing, felt like a haunted house. Caught me off guard. Watched it creeped out a few other unsuspecting karaoke goers too. All in good fun.

The STAFF HERE IS JUDGMENTAL AS FUCK. I just lost a ton of weight over the last year and am very tall, I came in here super cute with my followers. I was trying to have fun while being RESPECTFUL TOWARDS THOSE AROUND ME. I did NOT receive the same treatment at all. They couldn't take ANY of my cards like chime debit or PayPal, also don't have any electronic type pay at all. FYI Kindness is free maybe don't BE the HATE WE ALL see in the world. WE ARE A RAINBOW COMMUNITY FOR A REASON. All I was trying to do was find a SAFE PLACE to chill and you FUCKED THAT UP WITH YOUR JUDGEMENT (and eye rolls). That's on you, especially when I tried to have conversations and treat you with love and kindness but all I got was NEGATIVITY. That doesn't EVER create a conducive environment for LGBTQ+ humans. So CHANGE. BECOME BETTER. Our community deserves it.

The atmosphere was unique, the bartenders were genuinely engaging, and there was a real sense of community that made every visit memorable. It became my go-to spot to bring friends from out of town and every single person I brought absolutely loved it! Back then, the cocktails felt intentional and creative, not just rushed out for volume. The staff remembered regulars, conversations flowed naturally, and the whole place had this warm, eclectic energy that made you want to stay for hours. Even on busy nights, it somehow still felt personal. Unfortunately, over the last couple of years, the vibe has changed quite a bit. The drinks just aren't as consistently good as they used to be, especially considering the prices now. Service feels far more transactional and impersonal, and the atmosphere that once made this place stand out has faded into something much more generic. It feels less like a neighborhood gem and more like a stop on a nightlife circuit.

Just 3 but that is enough for me! I am a pinball junkie!! Overall the service is quick and pleasant despite how many people were there. RIPS has all kinds of people, young and old, normal and off the wall and everything in between!! The only negative was that the patio was a smoking den -- My hair and clothes smelled so bad the next day and it was really hard to find a small corner of the patio that wasn't smoked out. I will definitely be back for this dance party -- every 3rd Saturday.

First, for a divey-style bar, the barkeep was really friendly. And they have good drinks. He made a stiff dirty martini, an espresso martini, and a few of their Mezcal-based "Smoke and Berries." Outside, we feasted on cheap eats from (I can't remember the name), but we ordered everything from tacos to nachos to fries and I think empanadas? Great music, great lighting, service, and drinks.

From the jump, the energy was chill but not boring... lights were warm, music had bounce, and the whole place felt curated without being corny. Bartender energy? Different. No menus needed... we gave a vibe, he poured what matched it. Not sure what was in the glass, but it slapped. You ever drink something so good you start reevaluating your life choices? That. Clean pours. Balanced. Not over-mixed. Just enough sweetness to get you in trouble. Crowd was mixed, stylish... looked like people who know where to be without needing to post about it. The seating's cozy enough to post up and talk but open enough to float around if you're trying to socialize. It had that lounge-meets-night-out energy. Bathrooms were clean... that matters when the drinks are flowing. Never felt like a dive. Never felt like a bottle-service trap either. It's got identity... almost like a cocktail bar that grew up on rap albums and old money. It's giving... if Frank Ocean curated a bar playlist then dipped out the back with your ex.
