We all have that one friend who takes a sip of a drink and immediately wanders off to embark on a Tuesday night side-quest, so if you're planning on sneaking away for a little "adventure" tonight, at least do it where we can keep an eye on you!

Come get lost at The Broken Record where we are serving up:
$4 menthol shots
$4 White Claws
$4 High Noons
all day long.

Laney is holding down the fort until 8 PM, and Shay takes over from 8 PM to close to prepare you for the absolute shaypocalypse that is about to hit your liver

Just make sure you survive the search party tonight, because you won't want to miss our community potluck this Sunday, June 28th, from 12 PM to 3 PM—so start planning what dish you're bringing!

🚨 IMPORTANT SUNDAY PLANS 🚨

We’re throwing a potluck at The Broken Record this Sunday, June 28th, from Noon to 3 PM, and you should probably be there.

The legendary Britt will be behind the bar slangin' drinks, so your hydration needs are fully covered. Your only job? Bring something edible to share. Seriously, just bring something to eat.

⚠️ THE ONE CRUCIAL RULE:
Comment below with what you are bringing.

Nobody wants to show up to a party with fourteen bags of tortilla chips and a single, lonely tub of salsa.

Use your words, coordinate in the comments, and let’s make sure we actually have a full meal.

Britt will be bringing at least an assortment of fruit but also maybe queso.

See you Sunday. Come hungry, don't be annoying, and let's eat! 🍹🍲

Happy Monday from The Broken Record, where we’re kicking off the week the only way we know how: with cheap drinks and excellent company!

Come visit Ashley before she taps out at 8 PM, or swing by later to watch Laney hold down the fort from 8 until closing time.

We’ve got the perfect cures for your Monday blues, including $4 High Noons, White Claws, and Menthol shots
$2.50 Bud Lights to keep it classic
$4 Fireball to spice things up
$3 Blue Ox Vodka because you deserve a little treat.

See you there!

🎤 SATURDAY NIGHT AT THE BROKEN RECORD 🎤

Man, we love Britt, but we are collectively begging you—please get down here tonight.

She is back behind the bar, and to be completely honest, she is absolutely furious that a bunch of you left her hanging last night. We need a full house tonight so John doesn't have to listen to her whine, cry, and pout for another eight hours.

They say there is no crying in baseball, but apparently, there is plenty of crying at the Record when Britt is in a mood. 😭🍸

Save John’s ears, save the vibe, and come buy a drink!

Maddogg Entertainment kicks off karaoke at 9:30 PM, so come warm up those vocal cords, grab a drink from a highly emotional bartender, and help us keep the peace.

See you guys soon!

‼️🚨‼️🚨UPDATE🚨‼️🚨‼️

You will get Britt Marie tonight and tomorrow.
You’re welcome.
Or we’re sorry.
Depends on who you are

The weekend has officially entered the chat. 🎉🍺

It’s Friday at The Broken Record, which means your couch can wait, but your favorite bartenders can’t. Come let us pour your first (or third) drink of the weekend!

Ashley is holding down the fort from 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM for those essential after-work attitude adjustments, and then Britt takes over from 7:00 PM until close to make sure things get appropriately blurry. ⏰🌙

Rest those vocal cords tonight, because tomorrow night is KARAOKE! MadDogg Entertainment kicks off the musical chaos at 9:30 PM, and the legendary Britt will be behind the bar slangin' drinks to give you that much-needed liquid courage. See you guys tonight! 🎤🎶🍻🏁

We specialize in the kind of nights you’ll be processing with a professional for years to come. 🤫

Get to The Broken Record let's start making some history.

Tonight, Ashley is serving up the drinks from 3 to 8 PM, and tan, shirtless Eric is bringing the heat from 8 PM to close. (We don’t have a permit for shirtless Ashley yet..and she said she won’t do it …. but we’re still in the negotiating phase)

For your Saturday plans, DJ Maddogg Entertainment gets the room moving at 9:00 PM, karaoke stars are born at 9:30 PM, and Britt is holding it down all night long serving drinks, top-tier sass, and cleavage.

Drink up, or at least make sure you don't use your real name at karaoke! See y'all here! 🎤✨

It’s Monday. We know. You know. The coffee isn’t working anymore, and your inbox is actively judging you. ☕️🙄

Time to clock out and let us fix that attitude. Ashley is holding down the fort from 3 PM to 8 PM, ready to pour away your early-week existential dread. After that, Laney takes over from 8 PM to close to keep the cheap drinks flowing and make you forget tomorrow is only Tuesday.

No, we don't sell actual vinyl, but we do have cold beer and immaculate jukebox vibes. Come pull up a stool and let’s collectively pretend the weekend is already here.

See you soon! 🍻🥃

Happy Saturday, crew! 🍻

The rumor mill is true: Britt managed to get her shift covered by Jess today.

But don't worry, the vibe remains unchanged. You can expect the exact same level of premium, unfiltered sass you know and love. The only real difference? There will be significantly less visible cleavage on display today—well, unless you tip exceptionally well. 😉

Swing by, grab a drink, and come test your luck. See you at the bar!

06/12/2026

Friday plans? Sorted. 🗓️✨

Drop by The Broken Record tonight! Ashley is serving up drinks until 7 PM, and Melissa is taking you all the way to closing time.

The party really starts at 9:00 PM when Maddogg Entertainment takes over the DJ booth, followed by Karaoke at 9:30 PM! 🎤🎧

Good drinks, better times, and the best crowd. See you tonight! 🥂
