Thjs place is crap. I like a diuve bar but this place is about as threatening as the blue oyster from police academy. They supposedly have Karaoke but the DJ is crap, got an etch-a-sketch for Xmas and thinks playing his mates fav 4 song is Karaoke.
Let this placer die and everyone associated with it die the death they need to. Melb is better than this place.

I blame Charltons for my misspent youth, but the memories of the beer-stained carpet, terrifying elevator, Kay Sahn and Chinese gangs playing snooker are treasured. It came from an era of easy listening, easier dress codes, and still easier use of apostrophes. It’s nice to know it’s still around, not made irrelevant by a new Melbourne of minimum standards.

ha ha loved the article, and the night that the stubbies were snuck in to boot. this is one of the more favorable karaoke places that i’ve been to. the bathrooms were quite fantastic, graffiti, no toilet seats, and stank of bodily fluid. needless to say, i felt right at home. as a creature coming from the dive bars of new york city, this place is totally on my to do list when i get back to melbourne.
