Fortune Star Lounge

This is a horrible, wretched, weak ass and pathetic excuse of a ‘bar’, with terrible Chinese food, fat rats running around, hair in your food, watered down cocktails, ridiculously long waits at the bar and I would only recommend this spot to my worst enemies!!!

This rating is strictly on the KJ tonight. Let’s say «superb»! I do t even think that word begins to describe the freedom and greatness he brings. He lets the people willing to sing, sing! Few singers good songs all night. Does g turn it to a dance party. Right on

Facility — Nothing special but not bad, lots of pool tables that are in good shape.
Staff — Security and bartenders seemed friendly and professional. There was an older gentleman running Karaōke before the DJ got there. Quite the creeper. I watched him «grind» and «kiss» a girl that was easily 30 years younger. Not sure if he was just an employee or the owner. He seemed more concerned with females and how closely people had their beers to a pool table than he was about ensuring the customers were enjoying themselves.
DJ — Terrible. Not as a DJ, as a person. DJ Switch or something I believe. A gentleman that apparently doesn’t realize his reputation is easily exposed on sites like these. Music and karaōke abilities were fine but attitude was something worth writing about. Apparently he was recently hired to DJ for the roller derby team in Portland. He’s a bit cocky but that’s besides the point, I’m not hear to attack a person’s personality, but their professionalism? Definitley! There was a medical emergency at the bar tonight, a man went down and appeared to be seizing. The DJ repeatedly asked people not to call 911 because the staff was supposedly already on the phone with them but as time elapsed no one actually seemed to be on a phone AND near the injured individual to where it seemed like someone was actually assisting. I did see a gentleman (thankfully) ignore the DJ’s advice and call 911 to facilitate any instructions to those that were helping the injured man. The challenge was that the DJ refused to turn the music down, so the person on the phone seemed to face challenges in hearing the 911 dispatcher. A friend of his, said something to the DJ. I didn’t hear what she said but the DJ’s response was loud, vulgar and unprofessional. For all I know, the woman was saying something off putting to the DJ, but does it matter? When you are being paid to do a job, should it be permissible, in any circumstance, to swear at a paying customer? I did end up overhearing one of the woman’s comments of «it’s just a man’s life, must be no big deal». Sarcastic? Sure, but the DJ’s response was to call security over and tell them to «get her the (explative) out». Shocking and concerning to say the least. Really poor form on this guy’s part. He clearly doesn’t have the ability to conduct himself.
I’d go back to this place again if I found out that they severed ties with the DJ… until then… I will proactively dissuade anyone from spending their money there.
If I found out that corrective action was taken, I will happily give this place another chance and update my review but I can’t justify anything higher at this point. The reality is, you have to own the responsibility for any person operating in your place of business and this was definitely a bad experience.

This place was really great until the DJ Chris came in at 10. Horribly loud base and during a medical emergency he wouldn’t turn the music down so my husband could hear the 911 dispatchers. He actually requested everyone to stop calling 911 and let the staff handle it. No body on staff appeared to be on the phone. The DJ was rude and didn’t seem concerned about the person who was seizing.
The KJ was kinda a creeper as well. Nice guy but he was grinding on women half his age and kissing them. Not very professional. Bartenders were nice but sadly that can’t save this spot!

This place is a diamond in the rough! Great bartenders mix of clientele and wonderful security. Don’t forget awesome karaōke and pool tables! Love this bar
