There was more than one instance where a couple got up and slow danced to the song being sung - I did notice that quite a few songs being warbled were of the slower, lovestruck variety, but they generally did run the gamut. They had a bunch of screens from which to read the lyrics, and the sound system was great. There were so many amazing singers in the place, and as I mentioned before, the KJ was outstanding. They did have a picture of a sexy, mostly-naked man hanging directly above the toilet in the bathroom I visited, so maybe it was, but I wouldn’t really label the place one way or another, at least based on a Thursday night crowd. The age range easily spanned 50 years, and there were only slightly more men than women, even though it’s purported to be a gay bar. The crowd was honestly one of the most diverse that I’ve ever seen in a Denver bar. The guy running the karaōke was super friendly and seemed to have built rapport with a good number of folks in the bar, too, which was really cool.
The entire staff was male (there’s something punny in there that’s not intentional, I swear), and all of them were really polite.
I was greeted very promptly by a soft-spoken waiter who took my drink order and allowed me to run a tab. In addition to the lot right next to the bar, there’s ample space in the Dependable Cleaners lot across the street, and it’s all well-lit. Well, I got there, and the first thing I appreciated was the ease of finding parking. Last time I’d visited the location, it was still Mozart Lounge. Even though it’s a bit out of my way any more, I decided to give the place a shot. Last night, my theater friends insisted we hit Aqua Lounge for karaōke.
