Twenty-one and over. Non-smoking inside; smoking is permitted on the patio.

Karaoke

The Pond hosts karaoke every Monday and Thursday night, from 7:00 PM to midnight — same stage, same room, same crowd, same lighting as the live music. Twenty years of regulars means there is rarely a shortage of people willing to go first, and the floor in front of the stage is as wide open for a singer as it is for a band.

It is a neighborhood bar, not a competition room. Nobody is scoring you and nobody is dressed for anything.
