Karaoke is your chance to channel your inner rockstar, diva, crooner or whoever you might want to escape into that night. Whether you’re a bar star with a legacy to defend, a casual looking to drop in or want to book a private room for a group, this list has got you covered.
Private Room Karaoke (A.K.A. Korean Karaoke)
Whether it’s “Just the Two of Us” or “Everybody” you’re rolling with tonight, these options have private rooms where you can perform away from the prying eyes of the public. You’ll pay an hourly rate for the privilege, but some spots will waive that if you spend enough on food and beverage. Reservations are recommended.
