Always one of my «go to» bars in the inner ring suburbs. We enjoy the low key happy hour, and escalating good times after 9pm when the karaōke gets going! Adrienne and the rest of the bar staff are efficient and friendly, as are Rick and Donna, the owners that are very present and involved in their operation. Nice mix of blue collar and white collar fun. It’s really a bar for everyone, and gets younger as the evening progresses. Solid pizza, friendly service, free parking and popcorn. I’ve been coming in since the previous location was open, and while I don’t make it as much as I did in the past, I find myself there at least twice a month.

Only been here on a couple of Friday or Saturday nights, but as far as I can tell, this place is so trashy, and I love it. Watch out for crazy drunk ladies grabbing at your thigh/purse/coat as they walk past you while you’re seated at your table. Expect to hear one of your favorite classics utterly destroyed in karaōke, and if you’re lucky, you’ll get to witness some broads fighting over some two-timing, balding middle-aged man.

Came here to do some karaōke with my best friend. Service was slow and they gave my friends credit card away to the wrong person. The staff kept trying to tell my friend that he had payed cash for his drinks. Completely unprofessional.

It’s a fine bar with a good karaōke selection. The bartender was kind and accommodating.

Overall unprofessional management. I only go here with a friend of mine who is a regular, and really likes the place. Last time I was there the place was packed and the owner took up the mic to scold the entire crowd. Apparently nobody was drinking enough, she repeated the 2 drink minimum for karaōke, chastised anyone who may have been even slightly nursing a drink. She even threatened to raise prices, then told the confused crowd that if you were upset by this speech then you were probably«the culprits». She mentioned that someone had brought outside alcohol in, but that’s not a reason to treat all of your customers badly. I then left a similar review on their fb page, and she reacted snidely.

I’ve been here twice now to join my friends for karaōke & won’t be returning. Both times I received poor and slow and even rude service. The female bartenders were ignoring me and focusing on male customers. My girlfriends complained about the same thing. It’s sad because I always tip well over 20%.

Oh, how I wish I could get a go cart, Mario Kart style, then get a star, you know, from Mario Kart, and cruise at top speed through this dump just knocking people down, while lighting up and shit and my star music would be playing all like«nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope!»(sing the Mario star music right there.) Oh good gracious, nude pumps would just fly through the air willy nilly and affliction tshirts* would just shred to pieces on impact! This fantasy gives me great comfort! Yeah so anyway, I hate this place. It’s a crowded hell hole full of jerks, and it is literally impossible to get a drink. Chances are a drunk white girl will try to fight you. Chances are you’ll stumble over a drunk white girl laying in a puddle of vomit, in the bathroom with her Bebe cocktail dress torn, legs akimbo, while her friends squak about how this is the height of hilarity. Chances are a group of drunk white girls will bump your drink out of your hand(should you be lucky enough to get one, ever) whilst in the throws of squealing with her girlfriends all«oh my gaaaaahd this is our sonnnnnnnnnng woooooooooo000000000000!» It’s karaōke, ladies. Settle down. Some dude bro will think you’re eyeballing him and puff up his chest like a gorilla and fling insults through a haze of pungent bud lite breath. Drunk white dudes will grind their little peenies on the rear ends of drunk white girls, and some of those drunk white girls were previously engaged in peenie grinding with other drunk dudes and a turf war and dick measuring contest will engage, and there will be a fight, or many, and it’ll just like, suck worse than anything you can imagine. So yeah! If you’re like, the Unsinkable Molly Brown of douche canoes, you’ll fit right in! I highly recommend it! If you’re a sane individual and you want to keep it that way, avoid this place like the bubonic plague, lest you end up like me, furiously singing NOPE to the tune of the Mario Kart star song. God help me. *I have no idea if Affliction shirts are still en vogue. Substitute with whatever the latest douchey trend for white guys with highlighted hair is as needed.

We were visiting from Illinois. Cheap beer but we went for karaōke that was on a Monday night and was supposed to start at 9pm. 9 pm came and we turned in a song. They don’t start until 4 to 5 people turn a song in… really??? At 9:30 we left without ever singing a song. All the places we go in Illinois start when they say they will start. Very disappointed as this was the 2nd St. Louis bar we tried to do karaōke at while on this trip

If I could give it 0 stars, I would. If your aren’t one of the regulars, forget about getting any decent service. I’ve been here quite a few times with someone that is a regular and the service was terrible for me every time. I watched as the multiple bartenders flirted and payed attention to the regulars while there was a less than full bar waiting for drinks. When I confronted them about myself and other customers waiting on drinks, I was rudely told I’m not the only person here. Unless you are a regular, don’t bother. It seems only about 15 – 20 regulars get quality service and that is why I will take my business somewhere else.

A nice place till the squint-eyed waitress rudely says that you just can’t sit and not drink when all we were doing was wait for some more friends to join. Never going back again!

This is a great place to go hang out with friends, eat free popcorn, drink cheap alcohol, and sing karaōke. Is it fancy? No. Can it get crowded? Yes. But really, you should expect those things when you go to a karaōke bar. The people who work there are great and will remember your name if you go there a few times. The owner has even bought my friends and me shots on multiple occasions. On the weekends it can get crazy and you may not get to sing more than one song, though the DJs do try to make it as equitable as possible. Weekdays are much better, and there are many regulars. Warning, though: a lot of singles groups like to host singles night here every few weeks. It never fails that every time I bring a new person to this bar, I walk into a drunken shit show with middle-aged singles getting shwasted on a weeknight. This can be good or bad, depending on how entertained you are by people watching and how much you like feather boas. They usually leave early, though, and they’ll get really excited and applaud a lot after all of your songs. In addition to karaōke, they have pool and a few video games. They also make some pretty good pizza and have $ 1 jello shots. Their song list could probably do with being updated(it did get partially updated recently, but it’s still missing a lot of songs I think they should have) and sometimes there are some relatively sketchy people, but if you aren’t turned off by the slightly dive-ish atmosphere, it’s pretty awesome.

Went in one Tuesday night for karaōke and there was an 80 minute wait to sing at 11:30. The two DJs also sang during this 80 minute wait as well. Not a good place to go unless you like sitting for an hour before you get to sing one song. How about some new DJs…

If you miss the college party atmosphere, where dudes named Chad walk around with their popped collars and douche-y attitude, and you enjoy hearing drunk white dudes slur their way through horrible karaōke, this is definitely the place for you. Not my scene. At all.

I normally love going to karaōke. The song list could be updated and the dj should be the younger guy. The older bald headed man isn’t very nice and became annoyed at a birthday celebration saying we gave him a headache in a bar of all places. Go figure I am ok that they don’t have waitresses coming to the tables but a fun dj and an updated list would make this place so much better.

We are big karaōke fans and were excited to finally stop by Double D’s Lounge one night. One word: chaos! There were people everywhere, standing sitting, you name it. They have the usual beer and wine drink list and it is hard to get up to the bar. Ladies, beware, the men will push their way in front of you to beat you to it. People love to sing so best bet is to show up early to get your chance on the stage. The microphone was soft while the music went over the people’s voices so not a good mix. They have parking behind the place, be careful it fills up fast. You’ll probably have to park nearby and walk.

The beer selection has improved significantly with several taps at the front and back of the bar. They recently started carrying craft beers from Oregon and the food has improved significantly. Bartenders are always quick, attentive, and professional. As for the karaōke, the hosts are friendly, the audience is respectful, the acoustics are complementary, and the atmosphere is lively and upbeat. Because of the location halfway between the city and the exurbs, you get everyone from college students to older professionals. The weekend crowd makes for interesting people watching as the«I just got my first real job» chest-thumping 20somethings come out to spend their first bit of money. They can be a slight nuisance. The excellent service and the central location(makes it easy to run into or meet up with friends from all over town) keep me coming back.

Double D’s is fine, ya know what I’m saying? It’s pretty much a divey bar that has Karaōke. I’ve seen lines out the door and I’m not really sure why… there seems to be a lot of people that frequent this place as their go-to so it does get a lot of love. They have the usual beer list and wells. Nothing special as far as drinks go. As far as the crowd, you get that mix of bachelorette party, fratty, and«legend in my own mind at karaōke» which can make for some amazing people watching! If you are looking to see some awesome interactions, than this is a great place to go. I also love that parking is super easy. Plenty of parking and a lot nearby.

This place is alright. If you want fun karaōke, definitely go here. But if you’re looking for a great bar where you can drink a craft beer and enjoy good pub food, this is not your spot. The pizza is meh and the beer selection is meh. Happy hour prices are awesome, though. Moral: if you’re aching to belt out tunes ranging from Cher to Rage Against the Machine in a divey kinda bar while clutching a cheap brew, go ahead and check out Double D Lounge.

Night of the Living Sorostitutes! Just for the record, I love karaōke. There’s nothing more fun than getting up on stage and doing my best Rick Astley impression. I even like bad karaōke! The thought of drunken, tone deaf people destroying the popular songs of our time brings great joy to my heart. However, Double D Lounge Inc does what it can to suck the life out of karaōke. More than anything, Double D’s clientele ruin the whole experience. Do you like hanging around aging frat boys and sorority girls? Welcome to Double D! These fools flock to this bar and crowd the hell out of it. They are rude, obnoxious, and strong in numbers! If I can move around without being bumped by somebody or given the stank eye by drunk girls covered in spray tan and skank, then I have an okay time. However, weekend nights don’t tend to go well. As for the karaōke guy, he caters to these people. Therefore, if you have an independent thought on music, don’t bother submitting a song to perform. I have a bad tendency to dig deep into the catalog, choosing songs to perform that may not have appeared in the Top 40, and it usually gets thrown aside. Regulars certainly get favoritism, and on a crazy night, the wait can be painful. Guilty by association, the barstaff is forced to be jerks because they are constantly dealing with their terrible patrons. If I had to deal with rude people, I probably wouldn’t crack a smile either. If anything, the staff becomes faceless and robotic because they are constantly running. Only the aggressive customers get any real attention from the workers. My wife and I tried to meet some friends there Saturday night, and we arrived around eleven, only to find a velvet rope coralling about twenty-five or thirty people waiting to get inside. Really? Are you that desperate to ruin«Billy Jean» in front of two hundred strangers? I looked at the line as a blessing, and we went down to the Schlafly Bottleworks for good beer and music. Find somewhere else to spend your money. Surely, there’s gotta be somewhere better for karaōke!

Oh Double D’s, how I’m going to miss you… Well not really you, but the memories I have because of you. This is the go-to spot during the holidays for STL people to meet up with old college buddies and high school friends. Have you tried coming here on Christmas eve? Crazy packed! Last night wasn’t so bad, but a lot of people had to work today or their flights weren’t coming in until this evening, so it was probably more of a typical night. Saw quite a few characters going for it on the karaōke stage, including a man in drag! Good stuff. And as always, the drinks are cheap and the staff is nice, which makes the Double D’s experience quite nice. My only complaint is that they still allow smoking inside. But that’s what comes with the territory at a dive like this. One less item on the bucket list!
