| - If you know me you know I don't really do the Karaoke, I'm super shy, I definitely can't sing and so I try as hard as I can to stay away from these kinda places. Every now and then though you have a night of celebrations like last night and so I had to make my way down to Lips KTV. Lips is located on a few doors down from Sapien Nightclub, basically across the street from the Safeway on 10th Avenue. There is some parking right infront of the place, also some parking on the side lot, parking on the street and if you don't really care about your car you can always be bold and park in the Safeway parking lot as well.
Lips seems a little different from the other usual Karaoke lounges when I walked through the door to be greeted by two bouncers, yeah I guess I could see that there might be the odd time there is trouble happening. If you have ever been to Superstar Karaoke, Lips basically is set up in the same manner -- there's a small room with a few arcade machines of some sort and the rest are hallways that lead to the private rooms, there is no main room.
It does look like they have spent some money on this place as I do appreciate how the rooms are so clean and modern unlike a lot of other Karaoke places where I'm not even really sure if I want to sit down anywhere. They put a lot of money into the lighting as well, you'll know what I mean when you go there and see the tables changing different colors and stuff..
The display to change songs and whatever, it is cool, new and modern but seems kind of difficult to control -- maybe I am just used to looking at a book and putting in numbers with the remote control lol. Also, for some reason it seems like the English song selection isn't as big as I thought it would be or it was just difficult to find the songs that we wanted to pick.
The people working at Lips are attentive though, when you press the service button they are pretty quick to come see what you need.
