Feedback
I give this one star because I have to, or I can't write a review. The other two recent one-star reviews are totally accurate. It's a crappy karaoke bar that tries-and fails miserably-to do live music on the weekends. So if you like crappy karaoke or The One and Only Frankie D and the Boys, then this is your spot. If you actually want to have a great time and be entertained, there are ten other bars in Nyack you will have a more exciting time at. Go to the giraffe bar and play darts. You'll have a way better time. The owner owns the whole building, so she does not give a s about the bar, the people that work there, bands that might make the mistake of trying to play there, customers, etc. She gets the rent upstairs. The bar suffers miserably. If a business is a reflection of its owner, well.....this bar is an absolute joke.
This place is a lot of fun and a bit quirky. The music is great, and the bartenders are a blast. You really feel at home here. The staff and customers are friendly and funny. Sometimes there’s live music, and sometimes there isn’t, but it’s always a good time. Plus, you can write on the walls with chalk—how cool is that? Definitely a great spot!
Karaoke in full effect. Comfortable, cozy, relaxing, establishment. It's more than a bar with pool tables, a stage, a dance floor, clean bathrooms,outdoor seating and Wonderfully, reasonable prices. Conveniently located in the heart of Nyack, is your, evening, Stacation. Neat, Comfortable Attire and ID is all you need to engage with the friendly and attentive staff that claps on Karaoke Night.Olives's caters to a diverse crowd aged 21 to 101.
The owner contacted me regarding a price I quoted, expressing that she didn't find it acceptable and expected a lower offer. She mentioned how everybody is struggling, and if that weren't the case, I would prefer to hire a DJ from a bar in Pearl River, NY. I would rather pay her fairly than lowball and risk ruining the experience, especially since those bars are well-maintained too.
This is a fantastic spot! They have a pool table, live music, and outdoor seating. The stage for the band is beautiful, and there's a long bar as well. I also perform music here.
