Reviews for Smitty's Downtown in Vista, CA
Ooh boy, This place makes prison feel friendly. Lol. The current KJ on Friday is... Some guy. That's his actual personality,... NPC. The bartender was a blonde lady that was as fun as putting your hand In a wood chipper. Sure gets you drinks though... Sothat's... Cool. And what place still only takes cash? What time are we in? Also, side note, if you do like singing, The soundlevels could be anywhere. They've decided to go with the crappiest version of any new song. I've heard better instrumentalversions on elevators. If you're a karaoke bar, is it really that hard to get a subscription to Karafun? They might not be thebest, but at least you know what you're getting, and it resembles the actual song. The certain they gave me was the great valueversion of karaoke. Awful! The customers were fun. So, that's nice. Read more
Things you need to know: No entry pass 12. Karaoke every night, BUT you will only be able to sing 3 songs at the most. (Long... waits between songs and tons of singers) Prices are reasonable. All the regulars are VERY talented singers. Read more
You will not be let in after 11:30pm (used to be 12am). You can come earlier, get the stamp, leave and come back. Makes no sense... to be honest. It?s not like they?re about to close. And apparently they don?t give everyone a stamp so how this works is beyondme, but it?s not great for new customers who are referred there and run into this issue. Very upset by this experience.

Total dive bar. If you like Coors and Budweiser, playing pool and karaoke, it was fun. It has very poor circulation and it was... very hot in there. This place has a following and regulars. I have no reason to go back! Read more

Good place to just sit back and relax. They karaoke which makes the place more fun. The one down side is that the bar is cash... only. They do have an ATM but it be nice to just use your card to pay for drinks. Read more
