Clocking out or just getting started, we’ve got your shift covered at The Broken Record tonight!

Jess is behind the bar slinging drinks until 6 PM, and then Britt takes over the night shift at 6 PM to keep the good times rolling straight through until close.

We’ve got the drink lineup you actually need to survive a Saturday. Hydrate with $3 Domestic Tall Boys, get local with $3 Blue Ox, or step up your game with $4 Jack Daniel’s and $4 White Claws.

Now, full disclosure: there is absolute zero karaoke tonight, which means you won't have to listen to anyone butcher "Before He Cheats" for the millionth time. But don't worry, the jukebox is fully functional and ready for you to take complete control of the soundtrack.

Grab your crew and come hang out!

Look, we know we sound like a broken record (see what I did there), but repetition builds character and tonight is simply too good to keep quiet. Here is the game plan for your night.

Jess is taking the wheel from 3pm to 8pm to get your afternoon started right, then Dani takes over from 8pm until close to make sure things get appropriately wild.

The main event kicks off at 9pm with Maddogg Entertainment bringing the heat on the DJ decks, immediately followed by karaoke at 9:30pm so you can perform the world-class vocal masterpiece your shower has been keeping secret all week.

To ensure your singing voice gets proper liquid courage, we have got $4 regular Jack, $4 White Claws, $4 High Noons, and $3 Blue Ox rolling all night long.

You know where to find us, so stop reading this and get over here.

It’s Thirsty Thursday, which means it’s time to pretend you don’t have work tomorrow and come make some questionable decisions with us.

We’re fueling the fun with $4 dollar Jacks, $4 White Claws, $4 High Noons, and $3 Blue Ox Vodka.

Jess is holding down the fort from 3 to 8pm, and then Dani takes over from 8pm until close to keep the drinks slinging and the bad ideas flowing.

Plus, mark your calendars for tomorrow night because Maddogg Entertainment is bringing DJ vibes starting at 9pm on Friday, with karaoke kicking off at 930pm so you can belt out your favorite jams.

Come get your Thirsty Thursday fix and warm up those vocal cords.

It’s Tuesday, which means you have survived Monday and officially deserve a drink. Or four. We’re not judging, especially with specials like $4 Regular Jack Daniels, $4 High Noons, $4 White Claws, and $3 Blue Ox Vodka. That’s right, liquid courage is practically on sale today.

Laney is holding down the bar from 3 PM to 8 PM, so come get your afternoon fix before someone takes over to guide us into night mode. Then, the real chaos starts at 9 PM when Maddogg Entertainment takes the DJ booth, setting the stage for full-blown karaoke at 9:30 PM.

Whether you’re here to sip a cheap High Noon, showcase your absolute lack of vocal control, or just watch the drama unfold from a corner booth, the Broken Record is the only place to be tonight.

Slide in, tip your bartenders, and let's get weird.

Weekend status: unlocked. Happy Friday, beautiful people!

Today we’re kicking things off early because the legendary Jess is doing us all a solid and working noon to 6pm. That means you have zero excuses not to start pregaming Pride Weekend on actual day-drinking time.

Once Jess hands off the baton, Britt and Melissa are taking over night-shift duties, featuring a super special guest appearance from Cassy. Yes, the whole dream team is in the building.

Saturday keeps the party rolling with Laney holding down the fort from open until 5pm. After that? You’re stuck dealing with the unholy trinity of Britt, Jess, and Cassy all night long. Consider yourselves warned.

We’ve got MadDogg Entertainment in the house both Friday AND Saturday night for karaoke, so start warming up those vocal cords now.

Then on Sunday, crawl on in and let Britt cure whatever self-inflicted damage you did to yourself over the weekend. She’ll be slinging fully loaded $7 Bloody Marys all day to bring you back to life.

Come drink, sing terrible karaoke, and celebrate Pride with your favorite crew!

FRIDAY CROWD

Look, we know you can’t properly celebrate Pride on an empty stomach... so you better eat before you get here, because we only serve liquid courage!

TOMORROW Jess is taking one for the team and opening the doors early at NOON SHARP so you can properly pregame Pride Fest before you strut your stuff in the wild.

Get in here, grab a drink, and let’s get this party started early!

08/27/2026

Get ready for a wild weekend because we’re serving up high energy, cold drinks, and zero judgment!

Pride Fest is taking over downtown this Friday and Saturday, and our legendary team of bartenders—plus a few extra special guest star mixologists—are locked, loaded, and ready for you.

Whether you need to escape the heat, dodge a sudden downpour, or just take a breather from the madness outside, we’ve got the AC cranking and the drinks flowing.

Plus, MadDogg Entertainment is bringing the heat with karaoke both Friday and Saturday nights, so start warming up those vocal cords now because your moment in the spotlight awaits.

Then, when the weekend finally catches up to you and your soul needs a little revival, come see us on Sunday. Britt is running the legendary loaded Bloody Mary shift, and for just seven bucks, she’ll be serving up the ultimate hangover cure in a glass.

Come sing your heart out, beat the weather, and let us nurse you back to life. See you at the bar!

Happy Tuesday! If your week is already dragging, just remember: it could be worse, you could be working a split-ish shift. Jess is holding down the fort until 7pm, and then Laney takes the handoff from 7pm until close.

Tonight from 9:30pm to close, MadDogg Entertainment is taking over for karaoke.
Come unleash your inner rockstar, or at least sing bad enough to make everyone else feel better about their choices.

If you somehow miss out tonight, don't panic. You can hit us up for round two and round three with karaoke again this Friday and Saturday night!

Speaking of this weekend, Pride Fest is coming up on Friday and Saturday! If you're out living your best life at the festival and your body is screaming for mercy, we’ve got the ultimate oasis ready.

Come step into our glorious temperature-controlled paradise, sit down, get the glitter out of your eyes, and enjoy a beverage. We’ll have multiple bartenders on deck all weekend ready to pour you a cold drink and save you from the blisters from running around to all the attractions

Come see us!

Saturday night at The Broken Record is strictly for drinking, bad decisions, and zero public singing.

That’s right, there is no karaoke tonight, so your ears are completely safe, but your liver might be in trouble because Britt is behind the bar slinging $4 Jack Daniel’s, White Claws, and High Noons all night long. If you're feeling classy on a budget, we’ve also got $3 Blue Ox ready to pour.

Leave the vocal warm-ups at home, grab your crew, and come let Britt pour you something strong before you realize you still have to face Sunday morning.
