My wife and I like to sing once in a while, so we researched and found this place that offered karaoke near us. We took a Lyft to go there, just in case we decide to have a few drinks. We arrived at the place...around 8:15 PM. There were some people already singing. We seated at a table on our own. A man approached me and asked me, "Do you want something ice cream and cake? It is,my wife's birthday." I accepted and realized that the couple had decided to celebrate Carolina's birthday at the karaoke. Although English is not my first language and I prefer to sing in Spanish, I wanted to sing a song for Carolina. I sang "My Way from Frank Sinatra." It was "My Way" to say thank you to them for their nice hospitality. We decused to order 2 Ginger Ale with no alcohol. Any person who wanted to sing would get a book with a list of songs and write the title on a piece of paper and handle it to the person in charge of the music. He was as well a good singer. The songs would be played in the order received. It was a nice experience, watching other people singing and having fun, for the price of the drinks. There is not a minimum charge to be there, other than buying the drinks. Lovely place and lovely people. Strongly recommended. Too bad I didn't take any pictures.More

This is where I eat pizza and watch my Giants play at night. At night depending which night they have karaoke or live bands. I like to wind down here after hanging at the beach/boardwalk all day. Quite and safe.

This hole in the wall cafe is a great deal and a nice break from theme park food. The food was good and the staff is exceptional. The price is reasonable and it's nice to sit outside and watch the people cruise by near the...boardwalk.More

We were driving around Santa Cruz near the boardwalk last week and were looking for a place to eat lunch. We parked nearby and went inside and decided to sit at the bar. We both had burgers, fries and onion rings and a pitcher of...beer. Everything was very good and we really enjoyed talking to the bartender.More

Drink specials here are reasonable. A decent shot of tequila and a beer $10. The bar tenders and all the employees were great and friendly. The karaoke was a lot of fun and there seemed to be a diverse crowd having a great time. Look...forward to coming back next time in Santa Cruz.More

SLOW, older and staff seemed to not like working in a tourism driven area. Food from snack bar took over a hour to get, burgers were missing the lettuce and tomatoes, it cafe closed down early! Not what the website or people on the phone...describes at all. Football game was on and our team had fun singing kerioke.More

I've only had pizza here (no sandwiches) but the pizza is pretty good especially for a bowling alley. Also they have karaoke nightly from about 8 PM to 1 AM and it's usually a very supportive atmosphere. If it gets crowded you may have to...wait 30-75 minutes between songs as you wait your turn, but the variety of things people sing is good, some people actually have talent, and they are quite fair about going in order.More

I'm used to drunks singing along with the music, but I was not prepared for the stone sober to be in the bar singing like they were drunken fools. The ambiance was amusing until I couldn't get food or drink to escape the sounds coming...from that microphone. Not a fun surprise. Left early...disappointed....and still hungry.More

We were forgotten and service was slow (we had to remind her multiple times about drinks we ordered and hadn't received). The food took a long time to come out even though there were only a few tables of guests. We asked for ketchup and...it took so long we were done with our food before it arrived. The food was good, but service slow.More

To make a long story short, we were forgotten. Had to ask for menus and to give our order ( 20 minutes) brought our beer and iced tea (10 minutes) after 45 more minutes I had to go up to the counter and ask about...our food. She said she would check. 5 more minutes go by and we went up to the counter again. She never put our order in! After over an hour ordeal no food! we left hungry and still had to pay for our tea and beer. Awful service.More
