Iggy’s Legendary Karaoke Bar:
It’s typically not okay to be “that guy” at the karaoke bar—you know, that tone-deaf, slurring guy who insists he “sings better drunk” and worships Billy Joel and Axl Rose. But on Sunday nights at Iggy’s, go ahead and strip yourself of your dignity: the winner of the “Ultimate Asshole with a Microphone” contest wins a $25 bar tab. This place makes it easier to loosen up and work those vocal chords. For $2 each you can buy a Budweiser, Bud Light, or a Yuengling draft during happy hour, not to mention woo-woo and kamikaze shots throughout the night. Flavored martinis are $4 on Fridays and Sundays, so liquor up, ladies. There’s no rule that says only men can be “Assholes.”
Showed up at 11pm, Place was pretty packed with 35 year olds and up. Thinned out really quickly until there was about only 30 people in there. I put up a song at 11pm and waited thinking that since it was so empty I might get to sing in the 2 hours I was there. I go up to ask how many songs I was away from singing because I wanted to have a smoke and didn't want to miss it. The woman running the Karaoke immediately had an attitude and told me that I was 32 songs away. I had put my song up 2 hours ago and 32 songs is like another 2 hour wait. I went to tell my friends that we should go and they were upset as well. I went up to get my money and told the beastly woman running the show that she should give other people a chance to sing since I saw the same guy sing 10 times while I was there and I hadn't sung once. She cut me off and said "I DON'T CARE! ITS MY BIRTHDAY AND IM DRUNK!" Then she smiled at me. I told her I know you don't care, asked for my money and left. I will never go back to that bar and neither will any of my friends since I told them how crappy it was.

Best Karaoke in NYc
Firstly I refute the above statement,and it is clearly some sicko with an axe to grind. The place was totally refurbished last year and remains in good order. The Karaoke is second to none and the DJ's are friendly enough. Ill certainly be going back there as often as possible.

BED BUGS
This place has BED BUGS! I was sitting at the front and I got bit like five times. I told the waiter and bartender but they didn't care and told me to "shut up". I am scared I brought them home with me. The door guy said yeah we got them duh! I was shocked. I have been a resident of the UES for years. The idea that this horrible bar that infested us is open sickens me.
