Best Kareoke. This is a local bar with a casual setting. If your looking for a place to relax and have a good time, this is the bar for you. It has recently come under new management which has cleaned the place up. I still find it to be the best Kareoke in the valley and the drinks are cold and moderately priced. Tuesday night is my favorite night as there is a good mixture of people brought in by pool leagues and Kareoke and the crowd is a little lighter than it would be on the weekends. The girls slinging drinks behind the bar are attractive as well as friendly and will do their best to mix up any concoction you request. If you have a hard time stricking up a conversation with the person next to you, you can always entertain yourself with reading the variety of sticker plastered along the back bar or playing one of the three video game machines placed strategically about the bar. I do enjoy the fact that they have a big screen, projection TV so that I can come in and enjoy a beer as I sit at a table to watch a game. Sammy and Norm would have no problem belling up to this bar.

Dive Devine! Loserville.. Wow, Thought these places were only in the movies. What a dump! Let's see, oh I know! What do you get when you go to a cheap dive bar? Cheap people for one. Like the sleazy? This is your home away from home.

More runny noses on friday and saturday nights than the ski slopes. What do they do in that back office? Must be a secret, members only lounge. Sooooo, if yoou like em sleazy and cheap, head on over and check out the nasty little whole in Burbank. Oh, hold your nose.

Burbank dive bar plays host to unusual crowd of karaoke-scene followers, bikers and regular Joes.. In Short
Under large beamed ceilings, the stark wood decor and indoor shingles offset scattered tables and a raised stage with mop-top-era Beatles painted behind it. Regulars mix with roadhouse circuit bikers, but the vibe stays friendly. It's unusual for newbies to wander in, prompting stares, but people are apt to strike up conversations, and bonding is as easy as racking up a game of pool. While the jukebox spins standard fare classic rock, karaoke tends to be a bit more experimental.

Burbank's own "Bend". The "Bend" is kick back, no frills and cheap beer! I've been there many times as I live nearby. All walks go there and all are welcome, but beware as the fashion police might knock down the door! The dance floor is small, theres only one pool table and 2 dart boards, but thats the 'hometown charm' its famous for! Its truly like walking into a time warp!

Still a Dive Bar. I checked this place out a few times now and previously wrote the review titled "Slightly above a dive bar". My opinion hasn't changed but I did like the other writer's term "proffesional drinker" and I agree. This is the place you go when you want to put down a couple of bucks and just get downright plastered. Other than that, it reminds me of a bar I'd find right next to a trailer park. I'm not saying that's a bad thing - just know what you're in for.

Whiskey Bender. If you are a professional drinker or if you spend all week practicing your big karaoke moment in the mirror, this is a essential stop. I enjoy it because the drinks are cheap, the jukebox decent and the people pretty friendly.

It's not the latest trend, it's not hip. It's just a friendly little dive bar tucked away behind the 5 freeway in Burbank. Shoot a game of pool and make friends.
