We’ve got your whole night mapped out at The Broken Record, and honestly, you have no excuse.

☀️ Ashley is holding down the fort until 6 PM. Come day-drink responsibly (or questionably, we don’t judge).
🌙 Shalyn takes over at 6 PM and is running the show until close.

🎧 Maddogg Entertainment is in the building tonight! The DJ kicks off the vibes at 9:00 PM, and the Karaoke machine fires up at 9:30 PM.

Come have a drink, listen to some tunes, and warm up those vocal cords. We fully expect someone to attempt a terrible rendition of "Before He Cheats" tonight. Don't let us down. 🍻🎤

It’s Thursday, and we have a very strict rule at the Broken Record: Do NOT make us drink alone.

Jess is behind the bar from 3 PM to 8 PM ready to pour whatever keeps the bad choices flowing. Then, Tan Eric takes over from 8 PM to close to ensure no one is left unsupervised.

Don't blow your voice out tonight, because this Saturday we’ve got Maddogg Entertainment hosting Karaoke! 🎤
9:00 PM: DJ starts warming up the room
9:30 PM: Karaoke kicks off

Come keep us company. We promise we won't lock you in 😉🍹

Cheers to making it to halfway! 🥂

It’s only Wednesday, but honestly? It’s already been a long week. If your brain is also running on 2% battery, come recharge with us at The Broken Record.

Jess is holding down the fort until 8 PM ☕️
Ashley takes the wheel from 8 PM to Close 🌙

Come get a drink, vent about your week, and let’s pretend Thursday isn't tomorrow. See you soon!

🎸 It’s Tuesday at The Broken Record! 🎸

We’ve got a massive lineup today, from community love to late-night tracks. Here is your official game plan:

All Day: Jess is behind the bar serving up your favorite drinks! 🍻
5:00 PM – 7:00 PM: CASH MOB! 💵 Come out, pack the house, and show some love to support your favorite local spot. Let’s make these two hours huge!
9:00 PM: Shay clocks in to keep the party moving into the night. 🌙
9:00 PM: MadDogg Entertainment kicks off the music with a live DJ set. 🎧
9:30 PM: KARAOKE begins! 🎤 Warm up those vocal cords and get ready to take the stage.

Where else would you rather be on a Tuesday? Grab your friends, bring some cash for the mob, and stay for the music. See you there! 🏆✨

🇺🇸 Happy Memorial Day!

Today, we pause to honor and remember those who served. We hope your day is filled with reflection, gratitude, and good company.

Come stop by and spend the holiday with us! Laney is behind the bar from 3 PM until close and ready to get you taken care of.

🍻 Holiday Specials
We’re running $4 specials all night long:
White Claws
Menthols
Fireball

Grab a drink, pull up a seat, and let’s make it a great evening!

It’s Saturday night, and if you’re sitting at home scrolling through streaming services you’ve already watched, you’re doing it wrong.

Get your act together and get down to The Broken Record.

Britt is behind the bar tonight, and yes, she is fully prepared to provide her signature "sarcastic bitch face" service. It’s what you deserve.

Maddogg Entertainment kicks things off at 9:00 PM. The questionable vocal performances begin at 9:30 PM. Start practicing your best (or worst) power ballad now.

We’re making it easy to forget your responsibilities with $4 White Claws, $4 Menthols, and $4 Fireball shots.

And look, if you have Monday off, you literally have zero excuses. Don’t be the person who stays in on a holiday weekend—come let Britt roll her eyes at you while you drink cheap booze and regret your song choice later.

See you there. Don't make it weird.

Look, we know you have choices on where to spend your hard-earned money and precious free time. And we’re still here. So...

Look, we know you have choices on where to spend your hard-earned money and precious free time. And we’re still here. So, let’s make the best of it together.

The sun is out (maybe), the drinks are cold, and the staff is ready to listen to your stories for the hundredth time.
3pm – 7pm: Ashley is holding down the fort. Be nice to her.
7pm – Close: Melissa is taking over.

🚗 SATURDAY: THE 4TH STREET CRUISE
It’s the 4th Street Cruise! Come secure a prime spot to people-watch and pretend you know something about cars. We have the cheap drinks to help you blend in.
Until 6pm: Jess is on duty.
6pm – Close: Britt has finally crawled back from vacation (we missed her, don't tell her we said that).

🎤 SATURDAY NIGHT: THE ENTERTAINMENT
We’ve got MadDogg Entertainment in the building.
9:00 PM: DJ takes over.
9:30 PM: Karaoke starts. This is your chance to ruin your favorite song in front of a live audience. We strongly encourage it.

For the low, low price of just $4, you can pretend you’re sophisticated:
$4 White Claws (Because sometimes you just need a sparkling water that lied about its ABV.)
$4 Menthol (devils mouthwash)
$4 Fireball (A bad decision for a great price.)

Get down here before the good spots are gone!

Happy Anniversary to the hottest guys in town, John and Asa!

We all know the deal—John provides the volume and the chaos, and Asa provides the patience (and the hilarious side-eye) required to keep him in check. Watching you two balance each other out is the best show in the house.

You guys are absolute couple goals. Thanks for being the glue that holds our favorite dive together. Hope you’re out having a blast tonight—we’ll try to keep the place standing until you get back! 🥂❤️

They’re off celebrating today, but don't worry—their hearts (and probably their ears) are definitely still at the bar. Send them some love and well wishes in the comments or just your favorite pic with the happy couple.

Love you both! 🥂🎊
