B’s Que Shot Lounge

The have live music need I say more. Yeah I do. It’s a nice local dive bar that has fairly good food and nice drinks but you have to be able to stand smoke. Now is it a cloud of smoke? No but leave you coat, hat or wig/​weave in the car

Curses– I forgot to take pictures yet again! I’ll grab them next time, i swear.
I’ve been passing B Que’s on my to the Lansdowne Deli from Dan’s Corner Tavern for about a year now, but I recently started going and, just, WOW!
First things first: B Que’s is MUCH larger inside than it appears from outside. There are 2 rooms: to the left is a room with 3 pool tables (APL league teams shoot out of here on Thursdays, at least), the entrance leads right to a long bar staffed by at least 2 fast and good bartenders. There are tables all around the main room, which is divided from the pool room by low walls and beaded light strings. The atmosphere is comfortable and warm (as in friendly and low-​lighting, not temperature)
The music was great. It’s a jukebox, but the bar serves an older crowd so it’s a little more laid back and let’s relax than some of the other bars in the circuit. Thursday nights are Karaōke, which was pretty painfully funny. There is an old white guy who comes in every week and messily, ridiculously, slaughters the Temptations (i think it was My Girl) and Sam Cooke’s Cupid every week. The Karaōke lady was pretty darn funny and they offered 2 separate $ 25 prizes for singers (the guy who won really killed Michael Jackson and left him bleeding in the gutter– he won for the sheer and dominating awfulness of his performance).
Before 7 pm you can get 2 for 1 on apparently all drinks, though i only grabbed lagers (2 lagers for $ 3.50 is a beautiful thing, lemme tell ya’). After that, my lagers were $ 4, but they did have specials on other selections. They sell bottles of water for $ 1.
Almost everyone there was doing their own thing with their own groups, but bad Karaōke makes for cross-​friend-​group communication and just about everyone there was pretty friendly. Almost everyone– there was this miserable old man sitting at a table in the exact center of the bar (by the «doorway» between the two rooms). He was all by himself all night, I didn’t see him say a word to anyone, never even saw a crack of a smile. Turns out, he’s the owner. By the way, they ring up your drinks by actually SCANNING the barcodes on the bottles. This man is not playing around with his bar.
If you shoot pool, you’ll probably really like it here. If you like karaōke, you’ll love it here on Thursdays. If you just want a relaxing place to have some cheap drinks and listen to some chill music– BQs is the spot for you.
