XO Karaoke is great option for a night out with friends.
Yes, it's dark, yes it's a little dirty - but for $20/hour you can party like a rock-star (and sound like one too).
Drinks are reasonable, you can bring in your own food (if you dare!) and there are enough English songs that you can be entertained for a reasonable amount of time (the selection can be dated at times).
I've closed the place out a few nights (4 AM?) with terrific performances - once you start signing (and drinking) you never want to stop!
