BarFly's Review of Chopsticks III: The How Can Be Lounge
Karaoke seven nights a week at the roadhouse-like sister bar of East Burnside's popular Chopsticks Express.
There is a covered smoking patio, you can bring your drinks with you, but there is no heat yet. Still, drinking+smoking is a qualifier.

I used to frequent Chopsticks II, until it started taking 2 hours between songs due to all the people. A friend of mine (who was also a Chops II regular) told me about Chops III, so I checked it out with a friend. The drinks are strong, the food is good and the music selection is broad. Everyone is super friendly and I've had a blast every time I've gone in. It kind of sucks that, due to the part of town they're in, they have to close early (1am, I believe), and have to have an armed security guard. But, it still beats the insanity that is a Friday or Saturday (or, hell, even a Wednesday) at Chops II.
