Es un buen lugar para cantar y bailar, tiene precios accesibles y buenas promociones, el personal siempre ha sido amable y nos han tratado muy bien, el detalle que le veo es que le falta mantenimiento, una silla se rompió cuando un amigo se sentó, los baños también están muy descuidados. Fuera de eso excelente lugar, nos gusta mucho

Excelente lugar, se puede desestrezar con el karaoke y unos shots , un poco pequeño pero ya entrados en ambiente no importa tanto, los precios son de nivel medio, no lujos, pero agradable a la vista. La atención es aceptable, porque no es muy grande y hay suficientes meseros, tienen terminal para pagos con tarjeta , que es importante en estos días, para no cargar dinero de mas. Concurrencia de todas las edades, que por mi parte es una razón para recomendar a las familias a visitarlo . El único pero seria los baños muy pequeños, tienes que esperar turno .
