THE place to go for at least 4 1/2 hours of a great variety of music —- all genres —- sung by all kinds of fun-lovin’ people guided w/ true enthusiasm, warmth and efficiency by a happy-go-lucky, slightly mischievous DJ ( Tim ) who’ll gladly sing great harmony w/ you if you ask on his Sat’s & Sun’s is SPARKY’S !! Add his 2 FAB counterparts who take over on Every Other Night of the Week, and you’ve got the INCOMPARABLE Sparky’s !! Do yourselves a favor and give Sparky’s a go !! You’ll love the bartenders, the boss and the whole scene … even dancin’ anytime you choose … promise !! Rebecca

You will never be disappointed by the staff, food and every singer at “The Soft Rock Cafe “.The D.J Mark and Curt are very good at getting crowd involved who does not sing .I have seen and been very impressed by many who show up to sing….I have also seen a few pro’s who can make your night by giving you goosebumps hearing their voices! Oh and by the way ……Great Food!

No contest… Soft Rock is a blast with great DJ’s, sound and singers with personality. My favorites are the guys who sing “It’s Tricky.”

Soft Rock is the BEST place to sing! Nicole, Steph, Amanda, and Tiff are the best bartenders around, the kitchen has the BEST late night snacks with Lisa, and Mark and Curt rock the house Tuesday through Saturday!

Snickers on W. third is a great place to karaoke these days. The food is great, the people are receptive, and the sound system provided by one KJ is exceptional. And as we know we singers all want to sound great as well as have a good time.

Ok so SOFT ROCK CAFE would be the best place for laid back super fun filled karaoke action! I have been to other places and no one can top this place! Its like going to a free concert. The staff is friendly and drinks are nicely priced. They have awesome food too. AND if karaoke isnt exactly your bag of fun they throw in a few dance songs so can shake your groove thang around the floor! Hands down SOFT ROCK CAFE in Centerville os the best!!!!

Soft Rock has great karaoke, but you can get drinks cheaper in a strip club. Decent bartenders, except for Sunday’s. My buddies and I did a Sunday there and the bartender was rude enough to keep us from going back.

Jason, I’m not sure what strip clubs you’re hanging out in, I was there two Sundays ago and my beers were $1.75. Only place I know to get a cheaper beer is the Moose Lodge, and just because you might take your clothes off there, doesn’t make it a strip club. (LOL) Soft Rock wins in my book.

I am a sparkys’s regular and karaoke 7 nights a week is awesome. Steve , Tim , and Curt put on an amazing show. The bartenders are amazing. You can’t beat the personal service and the amazing service. Russ and all of his team are phenomenal. I was a soft rock regular for years and they are great too. If there could be a tie these two bars have it. They share kj’s and patrons. They are both the best of Dayton and anyone who has been to both should agree.

SPARKY’S LOUNGE!!!!!!!!! This is the best place to go for karaoke! All the guys who run it make it fun and they enjoy what they do. They always interact with the patrons that come in and know how to have a good time. Not to mention the owner is one of the best people I know! I hope Sparky’s wins because they truly deserve it!

Blind Bob’s is great for having professionals from the lastest broadway shows at the Schuster or Victoria come and sing. Last week we had Dave Chappelle sing karaoke. What a great night! Plus we have great Dayton singers!

I put little faith in voting when 1 bar gets hundreds of votes in a matter of hours…

Pretty sketchy, was someone using an IP address generator or were they paying people to vote. They weren’t even close yesterday and took it over in a matter of hours, eh, they don’t win anything anyways

How does a bar go from having one vote to 200 in such a short period of time.. I don’t get it.

I find it interesting that the top one was not even a thought yesterday. Adobe Gila’s and Sparky’s were so close with Soft Rock Cafe right after them. Those three place are all great venues. Not knocking BoJangles, but you don’t come out of nowhere, to win in one night.

Yeah, I have to agree with the last couple of comments. Cheating is stupid, especially when it comes to something like this. When BoJangles has 30-40, sometimes even 50 people in its rotations like I know Sparky’s, Adobe’s and Soft Rock have had numerous times since I’ve attended those shows… then they can argue that they’re the best. Until then, as far as I’m concerned, the REAL winners (even though I voted for Sparky’s…) are Adobe Gila’s. Congrats, y’all. Too bad someone thought it’d be cool to try and take that away from ya.

I agree. Adobes IS the best, and the real winners. Their drinks and food are awesome as well. But the singing is the best.
