True to its street-side appearance, this quaint, neighborhood bar offers an amiable atmosphere for its mostly gay male and female patrons; you're likely to leave knowing the bartenders' names. But don't let its cute seasonal decorations fool you: When the black lights and neon brights start reflecting off of Bobby's mirrored walls and the disco ball begins to spin overhead, the place transitions from a chill neighborhood hang to a late-night hot spot.
While the eclectic jukebox and live DJs on Saturdays are quite the crowd-pleasers, it's the Friday night karaoke that reels in the crowds. If you're planning on crooning, consider practicing beforehand as a sizeable audience will be watching your performance on the corner stage. Favorite karaoke songs vary from standards like "I Will Survive" to the latest Christina Aguilera hit to songs that require no singing at all, like "Exit Light" by Metallica. In addition the bar hosts an open dart league games on Thursdays as well as monthly theme parties and charity events. Check the website for details.
The week is jam-packed with daily drink specials, starting with $1 off domestics, draft beer and well drinks on Mondays and cruising into $1 shots of Pucker on Thursdays. Get your fill on Saturdays and Sundays with $10 pitchers of Miller Light and Michelob Ultra and $14 pitchers of Sam Adams, bloody Marys or margaritas. No wonder it gets so packed!
