Blue Ribbon Bar & Grill

My friends and I went to celebrate a special occasion. I made reservations in advance. The servers and bartenders did a great job with serving and making our drinks. We had fun singing karaoke, although it took a while for us to sing our songs because it was packed with other customers. I loved all the dishes we ordered! Overall, we had a great time and enjoyed ourselves. Parking is limited, but there is street parking after a certain time.

It’s one of the few Karaoke bars on island where you can either have a private booth or be in with the general public, singing, eating, and drinking while you take turn singing songs. Private Rooms are $40/hr & 60/hr depending on size and you pay $1 per song. Reservations are recommended. The hourly fee is waved as long as you and your group collectively spend money on food and drink as what the room is worth. Example: Group spends $200 on food and drink, you have 5 hrs or 3 hrs depending on the size of the room. You cannot bring your own food but you can bring your own desserts and cutlery. Volume for microphone and music can be controlled from the room. When singing with the General population, the songs are free. Only complaint about being in the public area is that the music is sometimes too loud. Bar and bartender are great. Wide selection of alcohol and the bartender knows how to make a good Ol’ Fashioned. Most importantly, music catalog. It’s an encyclopedia of decades of music and every genre. There’s even a section dedicated to Hawaiian music. Theres only about 10 parking spots so prepared to either park in the surrounding neighborhood or Uber/Lyft.

Neat little place to hang out - karaoke system is nice and loud. Playlist/Song selection is a little dated but the older stuff is all everyone sings anyway at a karaoke bar. The separate backrooms for dedicated karaoke are convenient and pretty clean. It's a dollar a song - so lots of songs get queued up. If you come at a rush hour, expect your selections to wait in the queue for a while.

By far my favorite Karaoke place on the island. The drinks come quick and are reasonably priced. The waitresses are all very friendly (and very attractive as well). You can choose to sing in one of their many karaoke rooms, or join with other patrons in the main bar for group karaoke. The songs are $1 each and they have a very wide variety. I always love to sing the local songs on the blue pages. They also have a very deep food menu with lots of local favorites with specials on the munchies and drinks throughout the week.

We reserved a room and the songs played by the machine has very weird tune. We tried to do everything we can to fix it, but the tune still sounds funky. The sound insulation is not as good in the room. The drink menu is nice and has a lot of varieties. It was too bad that the kitchen was closed when we wanted to order food. This is a cheap karaoke place after all.
