| From the Where2sing.com forum: Since its been a long while since we did karaoke on a Saturday we decided to check out Bristol Arms Retro & it was a disappointment. Got there about 8:30 which saved each of us $20 coz apparently they have an entry fee from 9pm. We proceeded straight to the main dance area. Some 80s muzak were playing but no signs of karaoke happening so we asked the security guy if it was on & he gave us a definite 'NO'. But we rang earlier & assured that there was karaoke so we ventured & found out that it was at the bistro area (should've read the Review page before going). Hens night was happening & it looked like it was a private affair so we headed upstairs to watch the Tri Nations. Came back after an hour. Party was finished but there were still a horde of girls singing to a karaoke that sounded like the one I got at home. We immediately came to the conclusion that we came to the wrong place but my cuz thought we might as well go for it since were already there & besides there were some stunning girls to impress. Being the 'Casanova' type of dude, he decided to sing 'I Swear' which I said was a bad song choice given the party mood. He agreed so he put that down for his 2nd song & scribbled 'Mustang Sally' as his first choice. When he got up, the crappiest version of 'I Swear' started playing. It sounded like a piece Im playing from my old Casio keyboard. He was game enuff to go on. The girls who were dancing went back to their tables but there were a couple who were slow dancing. To make things worse, this guy who I think was a cleaner was dragging rubbish bins to a door next to the spot where singers were singing. Cuz was clearly embarassed so we left after his song. The only saving grace from what couldve been a disastrous night out was the dance area upstairs. Being a guy who grew up listening to Flock Of Seagulls & Wham, I enjoyed it but when they started playing techno, thats when we decided to go.
