Noda 101

This is always a HIT spot whenever we are in Noda. For some reason, we always end up going on Sunday, which is service industry night. Everybody is always super friendly and welcoming. This is a karaoke bar, but even if you don't actually stand and sing something, it's still an awesome bar to go and listen to others and get a couple of drinks. They don't sell any type of food here, so definitely plan on grabbing a quick bite before you go. When you go up to sing, everyone makes you feel super welcomed and get you going, and everyone sings along, especially if it's a classic or favorite! This is definitely a bar I recommend to everyone when they are in Noda. This is the most liveliest bar, and the ambiance is always on point! Now this is in Noda, so parking is terrible. There are a couple of parking lots you can park at or Side Street if you get there early enough. We do tend to arrive early (8 pm) just to be able to snag a seat at the bar and be comfortable.

What can I say about NoDa 101!!? Great local bar that prides itself on daily karaoke for all! Have been several times and not sure why it took me so long to do this review...🤷🏽‍♂️ Firstly, it gets packed in here since it's such a dope spot and everybody either needs to sing or just sit back and vibe out to Charlotte's version of and unjudged Showtime at the Apollo🤣 Secondly, be prepared to stand! Like I said, it gets packed and seats are like VIP, first come first served! Thirdly, when it's your turn to order your drink, you better know what you want off top and make sure to order two of them because again, IT STAYS PACKED! I walk in, wait like a G, and when the bartender gets to me after moving around like Speedy Gonzales, I yell over the music for 2 beers and a shot (Pro Tip: Open a tab, it makes everything that much easier when ordering). They don't serve food, however if you get there early enough you can grab a bite for either Jack Beagles or Salsarita's located on either side of the bar. Overall, if your into having fun and 🆒 being big with random people all while enjoying the Good, Bad, and UGLY of karaoke, this is your spot. Drinks are cheap too 🥃✌🏽

I was looking at bar and guy said I was sleeping when I was clearly wide awake, 30 min later WHILE I was scream singing they said I was sleeping at the bar and had to get out. Ruined my experience forever of this place. Was a few turns ahead to sing. If I would have brought friends along it would’ve been an embarrassment. Worst experience I’ve ever had in my life.
