Dockers Karaoke Pub Virginia Beach

I was hesitant to leave a review, because that would mean I would have to share this treasure with the world. They may never know the haven they provided for me, when I was seeking refuge from the world. But, they did. Everyone was welcoming to me; employees, even the strangers at the bar and tables, so many strangers walked up to me to say hello and welcome me. I’ve heard so many interesting stories of peoples lives. I heard deep thoughts from people I’d never met. I was able to be dumb and goofy with people I’d never known, in a bar I’d never been to before. My glass was never empty, and I never felt lonely in there, even though I never knew anyone before I walked in. I’ve been to many bars; I’ve been to many Karaoke places. Not many give a vibe that is so comforting and welcoming. This is one of those places you will feel welcome. This is one of those places that has the vibe you want to come back to. Yes it’s Smokey. But that’s how bars are. It’s like “Cheers” where everybody knows your name. And you can sing, and it’s okay if you don’t sing perfect. And you can say hello to strangers and then they’re not strangers anymore. You’ll see mixed reviews. But take a chance; step inside; have a drink; say hello to a stranger. I’m sure you won’t regret seeing with your own eyes and experience it for yourself. Make up your own mind. Be yourself in the space. It’s no miracle or shiny new object, nothing outstandingly special of how it looks or is built. It is that bar hidden in the corner. They may never know the haven they provided for me, when I was seeking refuge from the world. But I am very thankful for them. They’ve made a difference in my life, more then they can know.

It's hard for me to give this place a true rating because smoking is allowed and I am a very sensitive non-smoker due to health issues. I am told that the place is lots of fun, with good food and service. Lots of regulars make for a friendly atmosphere. However, if you are a non-smoker, I'd suggest you find another place for karaoke and partying. They do have a small, non-smoking room, which is pictured here, along with the rest of the restaurant. Kind of amusing, actually. If you do smoke, or don't mind it, you should definitely check it out.
