This place is so much fun. They sport a huge stage and large dance floor. I've always had a great time. Apparently, they have karaoke room. I didn't try it.

This bar is connected to Alamo Drafthouse South Lamar. It's a good place to relax before a movie.
The liquor is good quality, and I've received good service at the bar.
They have live music at times. I enjoyed it the last time I was there. They have karaoke there as well, but I can't comment on it.
Please note, the liquor quality here is nice, too, so the drinks I ordered were $15 each. This isn't a cheap 6th Street bar.

This place should have the Karaoke renamed to “The Wes-Ball karaoke” always the best song selection with even better service. But if you book. You’re a dummy if you don’t make sure Wes is working and ask for him to be yalls server. Place rips. Wes rips harder.

Absolutely sick place. We went to have a fun karaoke experience, but “the only room” was covered in satan details. A total demonic church. Detailed with a pentagram on the floor and a goat skull in a glass enclosure, and designed like a church. Totally sick. If you are a lover of fun, spend your money here and ask for Wes!

The music, the service and the sound. WoW such an Amazing experience. We caught an Awesome show from a 90's cover band, (Zoodust) and they rocked all night. The sound was so well done I could sing along from anywhere in the venue. Hats off to (Steve) the sound guy. Hes so talented.
Needless to say, it was a great night and one i would like repeating.

We've been a couple of times for Drag Queen Game Show night! The Highball is a great venue. Good drinks, nice staff and tipping is optional as it's included. (Of course we always tip anyway)

Great venue for entertainment. It’s attached to Alamo Draft . Love Motown Monday for dancing. Great band.
Copa Kings played old school music so fun!!
Nice dance floor and cool vibe but it gets packed!!
Seating available. Karaoke rooms available.
Drinks are mediocre and quite expensive, $$&
A 18% fee is included so no additional tipping is required.
. The bartenders are unfriendly and seem to be unhappy working there.
They do have food. Pizza was good / fries ok

The staff is excellent, the drinks are enjoyable, and the food is delicious. Dancing to Rent Party's jazz band is a highlight. Motown Monday is great, too!
