HOT SPOT: ROYAL KUBO //
Karaoke may seem to be something of a blast from the past, but it’s still going as strong as the barbecued pork with garlic fried rice at Armand Santos’ colorful Filipino restaurant and bar in downtown Clawson. There’s a lively late-night scene as patrons emote on the stage and dance floor Thursdays through Saturdays, 9:30 p.m.-2 a.m.
