Visited on a Monday, yes they have karaoke everyday apparently. The bartender was very nice and helped putting the songs in for me and neice. It was slow that night but that more kicking the dog on the mic for us. They serve pizza, cold beer, and mixed drinks. The entrance is in the side alley and the parking in the back. I feel the alley could be better lit for security for us ladies. Over all I would visit again.
Karaoke is a total free for all, people can go up and put themselves ahead of everyone so a lot of people are fighting over who's next and since I don't care enough to start a fight I just didn't get a chance to sing. Very disappointing, I'd recommend finding another place to sing.
Ever needing a place to relax be yourself and be around good people the basket case is definitely the place to be. Every time I go there it feels like a second home and my other family. I love all the bartenders and the atmosphere that everyone that comes in their brings is the most absolutely relaxing and loving feelings. Free of judgement. I absolutely enjoy every time I get to come here!!!
The basket case has been a Peoria staple for karaoke for several years now. Located down an alley off main street, it's a great place to get together with friends for some music.
The only negative is that there is not a lot of space, and a group started playing darts while we were there which used up a lot of the standing room. Maybe don't have the dart board open during busy times. Otherwise had a blast!
Love the karaoke and atmosphere Brynn is the best and has a beautiful voice
Amazing. My first time there Will Ferrel was visiting and I shared my famous stuffed mushrooms with him and other customers/employees. Karaoke every night. A can of budwiser is $3 and shots or typically $3.50-$6.50. Awesome people. No matter if you are drunk or on your way to a great time and are horrible at karaoke they will be supportive and clear you on.
Dannette the owner is gracious and friendly with a big smile and the drinks are excellent!
One of my favorite dive bars. The bar tenders are awesome. The karaoke is incredible. I have so much fun everything I'm in town.
I moved to Peoria a few years ago and the ExplorePeoria site has been great to find activities for me and my family. They will also have giveaways on their Facebook every once in a while!
