“ He took her to Queens Gambit. Showed around his friends. Tried to pick the energy up, but it didn't matter. ”

“ Thanks to the DJ for trading shirts with my cousin in exchange for a banana. I didn't think he'd accomplish his mission of the night. Haha fun time. ”

“ I don't care what the haters say I love this place. The staff are super friendly and so is the owner! The drinks are a good price and Paolo is my favorite. Come here and sing some karaoke or play some darts. Definitely a good place to chill in the area. ”

“ This place is awesome, I don't care what anyone says. The owner is so sweet, even though I'm pretty sure he doesn't remember me most of the time, BUT HE MAKES ME FEEL LIKE HE DOES! It's a little hole in the wall, but it's so much fun. Give it a chance and try it out, I bet you'll like it if you open you're mind to it. ”

“ I've been here quite a few times for drinks and karaoke. I LOVE this place. It's a hole in the wall type bar but I've never seen any drama and the crowd is generally there to have a good time. The owner is a blast and makes a point to talk to and become familiar with his customers. The drinks are always made well and the bartenders are attentive. The building is a bit old and it could obviously stand to have some remodeling done (I'm pretty sure the owner said he's been there for around 11 years) so its not modern or chic or anything, but its an awesome place to grab some drinks and have a good time. This place has to have one of the most extensive karaoke song selection. It's comfortable and I have never seen any nonsense going down, seems like everyone is there to have some fun. ”

“ Things I learned at the Queen's Gambit: - That dance song that's like, "left foot left stomp. take it back now, y'all" is called the Cha Cha Slide, and there IS a move called the Charlie Brown! Allow me to demonstrate... - If a male stripper is built but missing a tooth, he is a waste of good arm muscle - "The Sign" is impossible to sing without sounding like a banshee Thank god I had a great time at the QG, or else boy, would I be bitter about having driven 45 minutes out of my Bethesda-Chevy Chase comfort zone. My friend Lauren invited me out for karaoke, St. Patty's Day style, and I agreed after she promised to be the DD. We rolled in, green outfits blazing, at 9 pm. First up: "Restaurant & Banquets"? Really? This place did not scream classy. This place screamed electric slide. In fact, the entire room danced to the electric slide two hours later. I was very pleased by the giant green mugs of Miller Lite and the Emerald City cocktails, and I ended up paying $14 for one of the first and two of the second, which is great. However... WARNING: I was told by a few people in the know not to ever order a mixed shot here. The bartenders apparently charge you for each ingredient separately, and Red Bull alone costs $6 or something equally ridiculous for Woodbridge. As for the karaoke... it was four stars' worth of excellent. They had a great computer system that let you put in your name to reserve a spot and pick a song later if you needed time to look over the enormous song list, and the system would tell you approximately what time you were up to sing. The volume was perfect, no one talked over anyone, and people were really enjoying themselves onstage. I only wish this place were closer to me, because it beat the pants off Peyote. QG would be fantastic for a UYE if we could coordinate rides somehow... just a thought :) ”
