Skippers Lounge

A favorite of both neighborhood residents and salt-of-the-earth barflies for years, Skippers is tucked away next to the intriguingly named Roman Tax Service in a red-and-white mini-strip. The bar offers Glendale denizens a place for drinks, karaoke, and live music. Such bands as The Bank and Fool's Life are regulars here, performing rock 'n' roll hits on the weekends. Watching NASCAR is another big pastime here (as evidenced by the posters on the wall) as are the thrice-weekly "kamikaze karaoke" sessions. As the event's name portends, singers can occasionally become a little wild when belting out standards and popular songs, so keep a firm hold of your drink in case the current mic-wielder bumps into you while belting out Bon Jovi's "Living on a Prayer."
