Blue Goose Lounge

Best bar in America

If you come in with a good vibe, Blue Goose will return the good vibe. Come in, sit on the squishy couches or barstools, and forget the outside world for a while. Karaoke is present but not always happening. A few different seating areas/open rooms make it fun to wander. This place is always exactly what you need it to be - but only if you approach it with GOOD VIBES.

Definitely on the expensive side, it leaves plenty of room for wine and beer snobbery. Definitely not a casual joint, although I walked in once completely underdressed and I didn't get any mean looks.

If you are new to the place, do let the bartenders know (I was sitting at the bar versus the tables/ lounge areas) and they will bring you out a couple of wines to sample before ordering. The bartender was very friendly and knowledgeable.

Love this little hidden gem!

Doug behind the bar is a sweetheart, and they recently updated their karaoke machines to be much better.

Beware: when it's busy they don't exactly put your karaoke songs in order, so it can get a little frustrating. They tend to play favorites with people they know, and I have been on both sides of the coin. Great when you're a favorite, and bummer when you're not. (ha!)

There are times I think this lounge is a figment of my imagination. I have gone and the place has been closed. Random nights I am walking in the neighborhood. I hear music, open the door and it’s the liveliest karaoke night.
