Karaoke 7 Nights A Week
10.14.15
By Mimi Ngo
The karaoke aficionado often enjoys impromptu karaoke sessions. Sometimes the urge to karaoke strikes mid week, after work or after dinner. The problem with this is tirelessly searching for a place online only to find that you've missed karaoke night or are a few days early till the next one.
The solution: karaoke 7 nights a week at Pineapple Hill Saloon and Grill in Tustin.
Every night starting at 9 p.m., Pineapple Hill hosts karaoke with an enthusiastic KJ leading the night in song. Need to build your strength for a night of singing? Browse the menu for entrees and appetizers because no karaoke aficionado should sing on an empty stomach.
Weeknights may have smaller crowds and typically gets busier later in the evening. Less crowded nights are the perfect opportunity to practice or try out a new song without the anxieties of a large audience.
After practicing all week, you will be all ready for the weekend where more people come to join in on the karaoke fun.
654 E. 1st St., in Tustin. 714.669.9818.
