tripadvisorSmall family business trying to survive when the city state and county want to see small bars and restaurants fail. Hope they keep surviving so as we're not left with only franchise corporations
MoreGreat ambiance bartender friendly welcoming. Patrons friendly also. Karaoke machine ancient, did not sound like original artists and timing went too fast. Still in all every patron there that night participated and had a grand time. I liked comfy wide seats at bar. Unique charm and funky.
MoreThe palace has been there a long, 1950's building at the very least. Odd hodge- poge of décor. flashing disco lights that seem to detract more than add. They do have an open mic on Thursdays that is fun and has a good verity of local comedic talent. Something different to do on a weekday night. A bit scruffy but entertaining
MoreMy 25th birthday was like 30+ years ago , There were Live chimpanzees (java & Jive) , in a plexiglas section of the bar(to the right) , a baby grand piano, and trees? well when they built the bar they put in Live trees with the hope of a clear ceiling, the clear got tart papered over the trees died and remained in their hug pots 10 years after death became their master!The food was typical bar food with people ordering out for pizza and the piano player was a master of the craft anIdiot savant who's best could only be ruined by playing 3 little fishes, that he would play there after the whole night! and the requesting/offending customer got bounced! and the Mistro was escorted off stage! The last of My Party Birthdays! after that i went with one one one or solos! I would go back but i fear my memories would be stolen and crushed!
MoreSit down and listen to the history of the place. Love the decor inside. Love the story of how the Teapot came to be. Love the history of Nirvana and it's start there. Love absolutely everything about this bar. I guess I even like that people are too chicken to even walk into this amazing place.
