The Rush Bar & Grill

This is a pretty cool bar and grill to get dinner and drinks with friends. Some of the food items on the menu are out of this world (Southwest quesadilla, chicken wings, buffalo chicken salad) and they have desert funny enough. They have a full bar so sky is the limit in cocktails. Place can get pretty packed after 10pm on a weekend so come ready for a good and loud time 😅

Rush is one of my favorite places in OC to grab a bite, a drink, and they have karaoke most nights of the week. Staff are friendly and treat you like family if you are a returning customer. I also love that they have a big selection of games and activities to do such as darts and Cornhole. During the pandemic, Rush was one of the only karaoke bars in the entire state to stay open and they did it the right way. Karaoke was moved outside into the parking lot for social distancing and it was monumental to have a place to go and sing and get away safely, during a time when there weren't many options available.

Wow. What a pleasant surprise! Had never been here before but was in town and looking for a place to maybe get a couple of songs in during Monday night karaoke. I have sang karaoke in 28 states and in probably close to 200 venues and based on my experience, I fully expected that there would be a variety of talent level as is typical but WOW! I was impressed with how the KJ, Julian managed the singers which was unique to me. Earlier in the night, the first singers perform 3 songs in a row! It was different but really enjoyable. So, there were 4 singers signed up before myself so I heard 12 songs sang by 4 very talented singers before I got my turn...and seriously any of those 12 songs could have been judged as the best song of the night at almost any other karaoke venue on any given night. It was THAT good. I knew I had to bring my 'A game' and I gave it my best and I felt very welcomed and appreciated for my efforts. This was the most positive experience that I have had at a new karaoke venue in a LONG time!
