| - how to find it: look for the shady-looking door on 6 st between 6 ave and 5 ave SW under the +15 beside a chinese restaurant.
when to go: 7 or 8 to avoid the huge crowd and sing on the stage for free (you probably have to buy drinks though) or 10-11 for when it gets crazy.
what to drink: any or all of the flavours of soju they carry, a shot of soju in a beer (somaek), or share a 4 foot beer tower.
if you want privacy: there are like 4 or 5 private rooms that are meant for around 8 people tops for $23 an hour. you should probably reserve one beforehand if you choose this route.
how to request a song (THE 2013 WAY): go to kumyoung.com on your smartphone and search the song you want, write down the 5-digit song code, and hand it to a bartender (or just say it to him if it's not busy). not gonna promise they have the newest songs though.
why i don't really like this place: although it has most of the songs i want to sing (mainly korean), the sound system isn't great, the mic's are old and probably gross, the microphone volume is usually set way too low, and you'll probably be covered in beer by the time you leave. i'd go to galaxy if you want privacy, faster updated song list, and cleanliness, but nanta is one rowdy place on weekends.
