Show DetailsThe house rules are simple
McGovern's is a downtown neighborhood bar with a stage, billiards, whiskey, karaoke, trivia, and enough grit left on the walls to prove the room has lived a little. Come for the band, stay for the bar, and do not expect an early last call.
Posters, proof, and last call
WildStyle brought California hopefuls into the room for a 21+ qualifier and a shot at the Karaoke World Championships stage.
Misha runs Questionable Behavior every Tuesday with rotating themes, prizes, and enough curveballs to make the confident tables sweat.
The Wood brought the Pixies, the Police, Bowie, the Beatles, the Cure, and the Killers into one loud hometown set.
WildStyle takes over Thursdays and Sundays at 9:30PM. Regulars sing first, strangers become backup vocals, and the room stays loud.
