YEE at Sardo’s: Karaoke & Fried Err’thang

Awesome event per usual for Unilocal Elite. I stay on the LA side of the Hollywood hills, but the trek to the valley was totally worth it. Sardo’s was quite generous with the bar bites (essentially dinner) and drinks, and the staff was great. Seymour was really the personality of the place, and he apparently made every single person feel welcome. The karaōke DJ was awesome, and everybody really got into the spirit. A few sour notes here and there, but it was all beautiful. Thank you to Katie and Sardo’s. Will definitely be back.

I had an excellent time! I cannot wait to come back to Sardo’s with my friends. This just may end up being my birthday venue next year.
Seymour is a great guy. He literally makes you feel at home when you talk to him.
There was plenty of food, more than I even thought. I was stuffed and it was quite tasty. The drinks were delicious as well.
The DJ was hands down thee best karaōke DJ/​host ever and I’ve been to a lot of karaōke places. Thank you Katie J. Blige for another great event. It was well worth the drive to the Valley in the rain.

I love being able to go to Unilocal Elite events with my wife and this one was the best so far.
We really enjoyed meeting the owner and I was glad that the spread of food included vegetarian options. I liked the onion rings and mozzarella sticks the best, but the pizza was good too.
The staff was really friendly and the Unilocal crowd was, as usual, a great bunch of folks. We also appreciated the gift certificates for Sardo’s because I can definitely see us going back there, especially for happy hour!

What fun! First, the owner, Seymour, is just the best. Someone that truly cares about his business and his employees. I spoke to him at length about Sardo’s and really enjoyed getting to know him.
The food is the kind I like — I believe everything tastes better deep fried. The zucchini, mozz sticks, onion rings and fries satisfied my vegetarian SO, and I really enjoyed ALL the fried goodness but thought the chicken fingers (excellent with a little buffalo sauce dip BTW) and sliders were top notch.
As others have mentioned, the DJ was great. I have never actually been to a karaōke bar and I am not in any way a singer, but this was a really fun time. I would definitely come back with friends for a fun night out… the staff was amazingly friendly — clearly well trained and enjoy working at Sardo’s. Looking at their menu and signage, I can tell the drink prices are more than fair and it looks like they have an excellent happy hour with some real deals. And a great big parking lot!
Another winning Unilocal Elite event highlighting a fabulous local business. Outstanding!

Encore! What excellent performances and overall great event at Sardo’s! I had never been to the venue before and luckily live nearby. Given that it was a rainy Monday night, there was a good sized crowd which made for a great audience.
We began with a little liquid courage on the house and the karaōke started after we had a chance to settle in. I noticed that they offer great happy hour prices and have a varied selection of drinks. As for the food, I really liked that they offered pizza for the vegetarians in attendance! Besides that they also had fried mozzarella sticks, fried zucchini, fried fries, fried chicken tenders, fried onion rings, truly fried everything — by the end of the night even my vocal chords were fried. But of course that was because of my commitment to delivering on Maroon 5’s This Love and Weezer’s Say It Ain’t So! But really all of the performers had great song choices! Of course, this may have been because Sardo’s has a great selection; I also really appreciated that they have song books that categorize by artist and also by title.
Great atmosphere, great event — thank you for organizing, Katie B! And thank you to Sardo’s for hosting! The wait staff was very attentive and friendly, and the owner, Seymour, came to check on our table more than once. I especially thought that the DJ/​Emcee was really fun! His energy and enthusiasm definitely made me feel more comfortable under the spotlight (that and the Scooby Snack)!
At the end of the event they gave us a 10 $ voucher toward our next visit — thanks Sardo’s! I think we’re going to need a repeat performance!

Thanks Katie B. for organizing an amazing event!
This was my first Unilocal Elite event I have ever attended, and I absolutely had a blast!
I met a bunch of other Elites and their +1’s! A great opportunity for most Elite Newbies, like me, to get to know other people in this part of the city, and to expand my minimal Elite skills to learn how to be more advanced in providing feedback by surrounding myself with knowledgable Unilocalers to guide me to be a better business critic than ever! (:
I am OH SO HAPPY to have attended this event! I met Katie and she is the ABSOLUTE most down to earth person I have ever met!
I arrived as soon as the event has ended, due to work. Nonetheless, the jumper let me and and told me Katie was still inside.
I walked in and saw a bunch of people already finished eating and what not. I walked towards Katie and introduced myself to her, and vice versa. She was super duper nice! She gave me a Unilocal Elite phone charger and a silicon Unilocal Logo ice cube maker! LOVED IT! She also gave my +1 and I TWO tickets EACH to get FREE booze! What?! Had I not felt bad that I was super late already, I was very fortunate to have received these gifts and the free booze! I can’t Thank You enough Katie for providing such awesome energy and enthusiasm throughout the night! I wish I could have came earlier to watch you sing! Next time!!!
Aside from all the Unilocal talk, the owner Seymore was an absolute darling! He was so sweet and kind! He gave me +1 and I a gift certificate of $ 10 each to come back the next time, even though we were late!
Bartenders were also on point! They were smiling, and very friendly! Loved the ambience of this place! Will come back!!!

So the event ended at 10pm. But I stayed til 1am. Yup, one of those nights. #mondayfunday
Sardo’s is definitely not a place I would typically visit. But thanks to the generosity of the owner Seymore and our awesome leader Katie B., I was able to thoroughly enjoy my experience at Sardo’s. Expect me to come back whenever I’m in town.
The bar was pretty much half filled towards 11 pm. NOT BAD for a Monday! People are very friendly and good spirited. Gotta give it up to Reggie the Karaōke jockey. That guy is the best. Super chill and friendly. Sorry you keep having to call my name. I swear I’m not putting the request for songs.
It’s obvious that I had a great time. Always a pleasure to attend one of Katie B.‘s events. Great meeting new Unilocalers. Shout out to the homie Sam C for putting it down on the mic «Let it gooo… LET IT GO!» Rocked it bro.

Katie you did it again!
I’ve never been to Sardo’s, nor did I know that the place existed. Cute little venue with a full bar and a divey feel to it… oh and a stage for stardom (KARAOKE). The owner, Seymore, and waitresses were super hospitable and sweet. Seymore introduced himself and personally delivered appetizers upon arrival and $ 10 off vouchers upon departure. The food was tasty for food that would be served at a bar. The appetizer plate was filled with onion rings, fries, mozz sticks, and fried chicken. All fried err’thang is right! How do you know that an onion ring is a good onion ring? When you take a bite and the whole slice of onion doesn’t come out of the batter! Good onion rings, super crispy and yummy mozz sticks! We also had a choice between tacos and sliders for our mains. My boyfriend got the sliders and I got the tacos. The sliders were super cute and were served with fries. The beef tacos were also fried and served with a spicy salsa verde type sauce. There was also pizza up for grabs at the bar. I tried the pepperoni and cheese thin crust slices. Both were good, I really liked the sauce on the pizzas and the fact that they were thin crust and not super heavy. We drank two Moscow mules each sang a few songs on stage! It was a blast. The DJ was really upbeat and pumped up everyone on the platform. All in all, great event planned by Katie B.

This was such a fun event and much different from your typical tasting! Thank you Katie for your continued efforts to bring something new and unique to the table. I did not want to leave so soon (at 10:30), but we had promised to meet a friend somewhere else so we had to tear ourselves away from the mic!
I do sometimes enjoy going to divey bars, and yes, those bars have karaōke as well. However, Sardo’s has by far the best set up for bar karaōke I’ve seen! There are screens displaying the lyrics all over the place so everyone can partake, there are books scattered around the place sorting the songs by artist or name, and the overall process just feels smoother. Reggie did an excellent job keeping the party moving, and he was definitely the most affable Karaōke DJs I have encountered… if he knew the song he would really get into it and enjoy himself.
When we got seated, we were immediately presented with a tray of fried err’thang (fries, onion rings, zucchini, chicken tenders, mozzarella sticks), and Seymore, the owner, introduced himself to us and told us the selection for dinner. He was such a pleasant and down-​to-​earth guy! We tasted some… interesting…whiskey shots (pecan pie? root beer?) before settling for what we would normally get. So much for being adventurous.
After people had a bit more to drink, the karaōke requests started rolling in. I wanted to claim Bohemian Rhapsody before anyone else did… I think my bf and I nailed it! In between, I was stuffing my face with the turkey sliders and pizza. The pizza left something to be desired, but I enjoyed the sliders. Sorry if the two of us hogged song requests; we were pretty excited.
Thank you so much again Sardo’s for your generosity! I left with a $ 10 voucher for my next visit, and I think I’ll have to go back again after this great experience.

What a great event! With the rain tonight, we had the perfect amount of Unilocalers to enjoy the stage together. Almost everyone got on stage; singing and having a jolly good time!
The owner and staff were amazing; so gracious and nice! *you don’t always find that at a karaōke bar Thank you, Seymour, for inviting us to check out Sardo’s!
We each got 2 drink tickets and mounts of fried goodies! The swags for the night were Unilocal Ice Trays, Unilocal Canteen, and a Unilocal Charger. Thanks Katie for throwing this event and serenading us with your lovely song.
It was good seeing everyone! Till next time, SYOY or perhaps Sardo’s ;)

I hate Monday’s and I hate rain but you know what saved the day? This Karaōke and All Fried Err’thang event did! My first Unilocal Elite event ever and boy was it an amazing one.
Ohhh Sardo’s, I’m so sorry that I never knew what you exactly were. I probably would have never been adventurous enough to check it out myself had it not been for the event, I would’ve never been able to find such an amazing bar/​karaōke spot with a cool old-​school divey feel. Fried food, great drinks AND karaōke? Seymour, the owner, definitely knows what’s up. The appetizer platters almost already filled me up due to the generous serving and I absolutely loved their Twisted Cabana Boy Punch! Sardo’s staff was super attentive and always made sure that my glass was full aaaand Reggie, the DJ was super cool and definitely knew how to make a Monday night feel like a Friday night!
A huge thank you to Katie B for organizing such an amazing event and giving out awesome Unilocal swag. Can’t wait to go back to Sardo’s with friends for another spectacular night out!

This was a super duper fun event !
Lots of food, drinks and of course karaōke baby. This event was well organized. Owner was very nice and generous. Food is pretty good and as expect for a bar food. Far better than typical karaōke. Their song selection is huge has many different artist across many different group.
First off we start off with a appetizer tray (Fries, Orion Rings, Chicken Strips, and Pickles). Each Unilocaler were giving out two drink tickets, they let us order any kind of cocktails. Which was nice. Waitress was super friendly and nice.
For the entrée we get to choose either 3 chicken or beef hard tacos or two beef or chicken sliders. The hard tacos were good and huge ! The sliders comes wiht fries and look yummny, but didn’t get to eat and give to another Unilocaler who came late and miss out the main course !
This event was about 20 some Unilocalers, I had see some familiar face like (Jackson, Sam, and Dave, and beautiful Lala. I meet some cool new Unilocaler such as Katie, Sara, Carry, and Jenelle «Puppy»
The most fun about the event is to get to see Unilocalers signing their hearts out. Many classics and great songs were been sign off during the night. Everyone has good time here and is a unique Unilocal event. I looks forward more karaōke event perhaps in 626.
Big thanks to Katie and Sardo Bars for makings this awesome happen!
