Sunday night karaoke kicks ass at Diablos. Their mixed drinks aren't up to standard. When they are running the live music and downstairs DJ, thats a great night to go. The atmosphere downstairs can be kinda lame, when you get wannabe toughguys or wannabe gang members crowding the place. For the most part though its a mix of college/frat types downstairs.

Unfortunately they stop serving real food at 9 or 10, and all you can get after that is stuff out of the fryer.

This Bar is great, if you like to front and think you're better than most everyone. OK well, shit, the events they throw are good, but the liquor is watered down, and the people (customers and bartenders) are really really really pretentious. Did I mention the people are pretentious?

The few times I have gone to diablo's I enjoyed the fire dancing/ belly dancing, old granny's rockin out to some grung music and bingo. It was awesome!

As a musician, I have played many many bars and pubs and I have to say without question that Diablos Downtown Lounge is the absolute worst place I have ever played. Ever. It wasn't the crowd either. The crowd was awesome. What bothered me was the fact that the first night we played (which was a Thursday) each band member recieved 2 free drink tickets. As I approached the smug bartender and asked for a pale ale, he replied by telling me that the tickets were only good for Budweiser and Bud light. I asked for a Pabst, because I am particular to my crappy beers, and he told me it would cost an extra dollar because it was in a bottle. Did I mention that he was incredibly smug? Well, 2 days later I found myself playing there again. A super packed bar on Saturday night, and each band member only got 1 ticket, also only good for Budweiser and Bud Light. The thing that struck me as kind of funny was the fact that a couple of hours before as I sat at the broken touch screen game, 3 Paris Hilton look-alikes approached the bar, told the bartender it was one of their birthdays, and got a free shot. Really? 1 Budweiser (blech) for playing music, but a free shot for being a girl..... The staff is too cocky, the liquor is watered down, and even after tipping a dollar each on 4 three dollar pabst, I still was forced to drink Budweiser. This bar sucks.

I think this bar had some prospects. Unfriendly staff and lack of patio seating might keep me from being a regular here.
