After hearing a lot about this place I finally went there. Wednesdays seemed to be the best, Karaoke and Salsa--where can you get such a combination. Sadly both were disappointing. Salsa dance crowd had some real unfriendly young women. I've never seen such unfriendly and impolite behavior before at a Salsa club. After this, I decided to go out and check out the Karaoke, after all how much worse could things get. I went to submit a request to the organizer/DJ of the Karaoke, Mac Daddy or whatever, but he just refused to even accept my request. It was around 11:15-11:20 PM and he told me I'm too late. I thought maybe this guy just cannot accept more requests. He however kept accepting taking requests from others till midnight at which point I left. I did feel that perhaps I did not look like others in the place (I'm not white that is). Again, the only people singing were mostly undergrad/grad crowd of young people. I really do not want to say anything really bad in a public forum but when I left the place I felt really terrible and humiliated. I should add that the Salsa dance floor is great, not too crowded, the regulars are great and very diverse and fun loving crowd, but then there were those young women there (undergrad type), and when guys asked them to dance they acted as if something very wrong had happened, I was actually sitting next to them and heard their conversation and saw their rude behavior. It was perhaps their first visit to a Salsa club but everyone goes for a first time but no one acts so strangely . The outside crowd was different, the staff was fine but Mac Daddy's Karaoke won't get any points from me for trying to be more inclusive. I guess thats one reason why the Salsa and Karaoke crowd do not mix.
