Queen's Gambit Restaurant & Banquets

First of all, this is a Karaoke bar. I have never had any food here nor would I. This is a place to get a few drinks and sing Karaoke. The people watching is amazing, the locals are entertaining and some of the singing isn't that bad. I had no idea they served food until reading the reviews below.

The song selection is great. I am told there is a banquet area but I have never ventured back there(maybe next time). The outside looks like the Boar's Nest from the Dukes of Hazzard. When you walk in it looks like someone's front room. It's old and divey but its the QD. Drinks are reasonable and the staff has always  been friendly. This is my go to bar whereI take friends from out of town, a piece of Americana.

The crowd can vary: I have gone there it was lesbian night and the next time I went it was a younger crowd and the last time I was there it was a middle aged crowd with a little of everything else mixed in.

It can be intimidating at first but have a drink, it gets better:D It sure beats anything else in Woodbridge.

Queens Gambit is a hole in the wall dive bar that could definitely use a good cleaning and some remodeling. I've been to this place quite a few times with friends and each time I wish I hadn't come. The entire place has an old musty smell and is quite dingy. Not to mention if you are a woman the owner usually tries to kiss you on the mouth when you enter. I was once sitting at the non-smoking bar when a patron a few seats down vomited all over herself, the bar, and her chair. It seemed no one else had noticed because I had to tell the bartender and never did see anyone clean that chair or surrounding areas. There are definitely a lot of regulars here and karaoke addicts that do enjoy themselves.

The owner is nice as well as the staff, and he has obviously conquered his target audience for sloppy drunks and karaoke fans. If he could just stop trying to kiss every woman that walks in there and clean the place up a bit it may be more favorable. To each his own.

Do not recomend going here.  The place is small, dirty and not fun at all.  If you like being around dumb drunks that like to fight and sing badly than this is the place for you, otherwise i recomend you avoid at all costs.
