When bars and restaurants seek ways to drum up weekday business, they typically launch happy hour, or maybe some family-style meals. If you’re Eric Banh, you bust out the karaoke machine.
“We’ve been waiting for this since day one!” says an enthusiastic Banh of his plans for Ba Bar. Starting at the end of February, the 12th Avenue spot will host karaoke nights twice a week—Tuesday and Wednesday—from 9:30pm to 1:30ish.
The potential for embarrassment aside, there’s no cost to partake. No need to reserve in advance either, the format is like an open mic night. For those who require a dose of liquid courage (who doesn’t?), Banh says he’s working on drink specials for the occasion. He has amassed a song library 10,000-strong and installed the necessary equipment. Now all Banh has left to do is find someone to host.
Don’t be surprised if you see Bahn up there singing. The man apparently is a karaoke buff, especially when it comes to Elton John or Wham!—an admission that gets lots of laugh from friends, he says. Hey, David Boardman of The Seattle Times would approve.
