| - I always have this dilemma where I want to give a place four stars, but end up giving them five if I had an overall good experience.
After a massive dinner with coworkers + the bff @ tsuki izakaya two weeks ago, we landed at this karaoke spot since someone in the group knows the ppl that run this place.
There are so many karaoke bars in the area that are comparable and maybe even one that is noticeably better. However, I've come to this one several times and never had an issue or any complaints.
First, parking. It's free, but the lot is always busy at night since there are other social establishments in the same building. We were able to get parking in the front without having to wait long on a Friday.
The karaoke bar is on the third floor with your choice of stairs or elevator. I've been here before and always knew the elevators are seriously old and slow. Every other time I've come here, I take the stairs for this reason. On this night, we all decided to climb in since we were all too full to walk up. We pressed *3 and it stayed on the ground floor for a while and the doors wouldn't open. It was more funny than scary because we just knew how these old, sketchy elevators are. Since we were on the ground floor, we were able to get the doors open and walk out safely. I wish I looked up the capacity for that elevator, we were a party of 8 (and although full) fit comfortably in the elevator. I don't know how to upload videos on yelp, or else I would show you what happened. (Crappy Snapchat screenshot to come).
Although we normally get the all you can drink (aycd) deal along with the huge party room, complete with idarts and a beer pong table... On this particular night we were a group of 8 looking to have a more chill night.
We were hooked up with a really big room that could have easily fit double the amount of people. The room had clean floors, tables, seats and walls. We were also given dice to play with.
The bathroom (I went twice throughout the night, were clean both times. The first stall was missing toilet paper the whole night, but that was the only off thing.
We ordered a lot of beer (mix of Heineken and Coors light), a bottle of Johnnie walker black label with pitchers of green tea and some Red Bull. Beer was ice cold. Johnnie walker and green tea is still my fave when coming to karaoke. The green tea pitchers had too much ice, so we asked for another pitcher with less ice so it wouldn't water down the liquor. The Red Bull was nice if you need some extra energy to last the night.
We also got some (what I think were) complementary food dishes. Fries were good and came with ketchup. Curry fish and beef balls are always good snack food. We also got some free chicken wings do the yelp check in! Shoutout to yelp for the extra hook up.
The music was fine. I like that a lot of the music videos matched the music (most songs we chose did not have some weird random video playing in the background). I also like that you can download an app to queue your music. They could improve the search feature on this app as it was a little difficult to navigate. I think you could only use the search bar to search by song title, it would be better if you can search it like this and by artist name. I also wish they updated the playlist a little more often. Had some new music, but could have a better variety of old and new songs. This place does not have the traditional books to look through.
After hours and hours of singing our hearts out, *I think* everyone paid around $40.00 bucks a person.
Staff was really friendly and easy throughout the night. Came whenever we needed something (service button works), brought things out quickly, took a few photos of the group and left us alone when we wanted privacy. The bill was easy to pay for and they all told us to have a goodnight on our way out. They were all very welcoming and nice.
Sorry for the bad photos. They are Snapchat screenshots (stupid photos don't match yelps size format or something). I'll rmb to take awesome photos (not using Snapchat) next time.
