Tavern on 26th Ave.

Known for its karaoke nights, the friendly regulars at this funky Lakewood dive are fairly supportive of anyone who wants to take a shot grabbing the microphone and belting (or at least trying) out a tune. With decently priced drinks, which can be quite strong at times, it's not going to bust your wallet getting up some liquid courage. Even if you don't want to take a stab at singing, this low-key neighborhood joint has a few pool tables and TVs to catch a game.
