Went to karaoke night. Didn't get to sing. One table maxed out the entire automated system for the hole night... this is the capitals leading gay bar? Pathetic.

So much fun!! Came when it was pretty slow on a Sunday but had an amazing time doing karaoke that the bartender joined in on. So much fun so inclusive would definitely go again
