Review of karaoke at the Bowery

The Bowery, Franklin, WI
(Thursday Night)

This little, out-of-the-way establishment is a real neighborhood hang out. Tightly packed with it’s regular bar patrons and it’s various sponsored teams players, karaoke singers receive a friendly welcome here. Tucked in a corner at the front of the room is the KJ equipment and two monitors. There is no stage, so pool-shooting patrons have to stretch to see the singers over the other patrons from across the room. The sound level at the front of the room is uncomfortably high, and the music often seems louder than the singer’s voice. Generally speaking, the program is a Two-Song Set format, unless the individual singer prefers to perform only one song. If the title you’re looking for is not in the song book, just ask the KJ to search his vast digital library, and 9 times out of 10, he will have what you’re looking for. At the time of this review, the establishment allowed smoking.
You’ll find award-winning singers here as well as fun-loving amateurs.

This karaoke venue is for a mix of the 20- and 30-something crowd.
