A true Hipster Hangout. Kareoke nightly (Thur-Sat at 9:30pm). Long list of regulars and diverse crowd, Sweet.

Drinks are always cheap here! There are always weekly specials too, like $2 beer feature or shot special. The decor is like a total townie bar giving the VFW a lot of personality; that combined with the Free popcorn make it one of the better spots in Uptown.

Kinda dingy but that is the point. The VFW offers a nice break from all the other candy hog wash around... Where did the uptwn i Knew go? Just as said below... drink prices cheapest in town..straight up. The drinks made are more than what i paid for..and you cant drink while singing because you might spill..(for the chick below) And i the popcorn you salt your self.....

This place is lame... the bartender doesn't know many drinks or shots, crappy happy hour, the wait for kareoke is at least an hour, the popcorn is EXTREMELY salty (and I LOVE salt!) and most people there are really unfriendly.

If I could give this place no stars I would, and that hurts me, since I am an army brat and have grown up in many a VFW. The lady running the karaoke cuts your song off half way through for no reason, the wait is at least an hour and a half, and you can't swear into the mic or hold your drink while you sing. Whats the point?
