The Star Spangled Banner

This weekend is America's Independence Day (woo-hoo!) and we'll be celebrating at Kroaky's with lots of American-themed songs. We'll start of in a patriotic mood with "The Star Spangled Banner" (don't worry, the words are on the karaoke monitor!), followed by "America the Beautiful" and moving on to Bruce Springsteen's "Born in the U.S.A", Neil Diamond's, "Coming to America" and Razorlight's "America", our favorite. Let us know your favorites or better still come join us this July 4 and sing for your country!

School's Out

School'sbeen out for a few days now and kids and parents are looking for fun things to do. Of course, we'd like you to come down to Kroaky's. Singing and pizza, what more could you want?

We are getting a lot of kid's parties these days. Not just birthday parties in the big room but lots of we-just-love-to-sing-anytime-let me-at-the-mike parties  with groups of four to ten teenagers and younger.

BTW, if you are under 16 we ask that a parent or guardian stays nearby. They don't have to be in the room but can hangout in the lobby or even take a room of their own to practice "oldies". If a parent or guardian would like to stay in the room we won't charge them the room fee or course. 

Tell me why

We've been going for a few months now so we thought it'd be a good idea to find out what you think about Kroaky's.

If you have a couple of minutes please fill out the first Kroaky's Customer Survey. You can also enter a drawing to win a $50 Kroaky's Gift Certificate. Click here to start!

When Irish Eyes are Smiling

"Oh Danny Boy the 2-4-1 beer pitchers are callin'
From Kroaky's where the beer (and frog) is green"

To celebrate the luck of the Irish we are extending happy hour all day, right through to 2am on March 17,18 and 19. It's only $11 for two 64oz pitchers of green draft beer.

We also have Guinness, green rooms, green lights, and plenty of Irish songs, from the Mountains of Morne to Where The Streets have No Name.

Genie in a Bottle

Ah, beer -- helping people sing since ancient times. 

As part of Stimulus Package all Kroaky's beer prices have been reduced. Draft beers are now $2.75 for 12oz and $3.25 for 16oz. You can now get a pitcher for $11.

Even better, we have extended our happy hour from opening to 9pm and now offer 2-4-1 on draft beers and pitchers. Two whole pitchers of beer for only $11. That's a lot of beer and a lot of singin'.

Bottled domestic beers (Bud, Bud Light, Amber Bock, Miller Light) are now $2 during happy hour and $3 after 9pm. Premium beers (Corona, Heineken, Sam Adams, Guinness) are $3 during happy hour and $4 after 9pm.

Glass wine is down to $5 with 2-4-1 at happy hour. Ladies get free drinks on Wednesday.

We have also added coffee, hot tea, pretzels, chips and desserts to the menu.

Life in a Northern Town

We got a great write-up today in the Bradenton Herald. And there's a video too. A big thank you to the Bradenton Herald team and for all who participated.

Mary was interviewd on Sarasota's local ABC7 News the the day too. I will upload the file when I figure out how to get it of our DVR.

Those about to RockBand, we salute you!

Every Thursday from March 12, Kroaky's is hosting the Kroaky's RockBand challenge. Six teams of four will compete each night, through double elimination and playoff rounds, for the title of "Ultimate RockBand Stars of Sarasota". We have a full Xbox 360 RockBand stage set up with guitar, bass, drums and vocals plus hundreds of songs, smoke and stage lights. All we need is your team to show us how to Rock!

There's prizes for the best team, best stage performance and best costumes. Places are very limited so call (941) 926-3434 to book your team in now. See you on stage!

Eyes Without a Face(book)

Thankfully the cold weather has passed here in Florida (a few nights where it went down to less than 40 degrees F - the horror!) and the good people of Sarasota are coming out of hiding and lookin' for a good time at Kroaky's. This week has been our best yet -- thank you!
