What People Are Saying About Gas Lite

The Scene – This dimly lit, corner bar borrows its decor scheme from a '70s-era lounge during Christmas season, with twinkling lights and tinsel hanging year round. Red vinyl booths, mirrored walls and a long, dark wood bar round out the modest and masculine interior. A no-nonsense bartender pours martinis and scotch to a mostly male crowd playing interactive trivia during the day. By 10pm, the place is overrun with a lively UCLA crowd pounding beers and dancing the night away. – – The Draw – Catch talented blues artists every Friday through Monday night. The intimate…

Good karaoke, bad service

by ThaJ at Citysearch

A decent place for karaoke, however waitresses/bartenders are often downright rude. After giving $1 tip per beer for 7 beers and then skipping once, the bartender told me my next beer would cost $1 extra due to my lack of tip. I strongly suggest picking up a 6 pack at walgreens across the street rather than paying $7 for a bottled beer at this place.

  • Pros: Karaoke
  • Cons: Parking, Service

BEST KARAOKE EVER!!!

by wehocares at Citysearch

I don't know what santamonicacares on this site is talking about! The Gaslite has the best karaoke in santa monica. Sounds like you are a bitter person who doesn't know how to project into a mic.

The KJ's rock (especially the chicks!!!!) Great in between music and they are so fun!! RUN to this place...it ROCKS!

  • Pros: Karaoke Hosts, Karaoke selection, Bartenders !!!!
  • Cons: parking

Go anytime there's no Karaoke running

by santamonicares at Citysearch

The bar is a Westside legend and the staff is cool. "Open at 6:00 a.m."! At the same time, if you're looking to sing go anywhere else for Karaoke.

The KJ is the absolute worst in West LA. She not only bumps anyone else when her friends show up, but she also mics her buddies up while she drops the levels for everyone else to barely audible. It is a total Karaoke embarassment. There's just too many good Karaokes around Santa Monica to allow yourself to be treated as poorly as the Gaslight's KJ treats anyone who doesn't make her "friend" list.

  • Pros: Great Parking, Great Bartenders
  • Cons: Awful Karaoke
