It might be a cab driver and two nurses sharing a break, drinking coffee and singing Janis Joplin to crickets. It might be a wall to wall dance party. Or it might be a beer bottle breaking over somebody's head and somebody else catching a face full of mace. Any which way, you are surrounded by mirrors, neon and disco balls.
That "Most Beautiful Room" banner on the wall out front wasn't for nothing.

It used to be obnoxious to me how many people I knew who said/spellt/pronounced Talayna's as Talanya's, but now I think of it as more a fascinating (and seemingly extremely widespread) local cultural misnomer. I wonder how that started!
So Talanya's use to be a pizza parlor at the location where KAYAK Coffee is now by Wash U. Mike Talanya was a jitterbug king in the 1970's and spent many nights dancing at Al Singer's Terrace Lounge on DeBalivere. ( a little history)
awesome, mister.
I would follow you to the ends of the karaoke earth.
The place is a dump.
