Reviewed this place on yelp as well! I come here almost every night and adore it. Truly feels like a second home (with a lot more booze- lol) If you get to meet the bartender Kat you’re in for the best time. I’ve adored her since the minute she started there. I haven’t seen her as much lately- hope that changes. Other than that, this place is truly the best local bar in Orange County.

No food here. Small place. Cozy decor. Self-serve karaoke at night. Usually great crowd and ambiance.

Atmosphere is great, karaoke all day every day. Service is phenomenal, shoutout to Meow especially 🤘 I've never eaten here in my life, but I put 5⭐ for food because whatever they have probably hits great like everything else here.

Meow helped me feel recognized the second I entered this establishment. Her warm & welcoming presence soothed all the karaoke nerves I had prior. Stop in for a friends night out, or a night-cap, it will be worth it!!!

I only come here during the daily, karaoke nights and, soon, maybe you will too. Shanghai’d Room is a divebar thru and thru. But I can count on one hand how many bars I’ve been to where I felt welcomed on my first night. And this is the ONLY bar I ever made friends.
There’s usually one or two bartenders being very attentive — making sure glasses are full, singers are purchasing drinks, and new faces get a turn on the mic. each of them has their own charismatic charm and seductive appeal. I can’t help but call out MeowMeow as my fav tho because you cant help but get drawn to her personality (plus the music/mic balance is always on point all night). She was there my first night and the energy in the room was electric.
This is the only karaoke bar where you don’t have the pressure of singing in front of the crowd on stage because there isn’t one. If you’ve ever been in a private karaoke room with friends it’s like that but with 20+ people and ur own bar LOL. If ur flyin solo and like to sing with libations in hand: check em out, sing a song, compliment ur fav singers, and soon you’ll be makin plans to comeback and meetup.
Few tips and house rules to emphasize: no food served so you can byof, only one M & one F restroom, only patrons sing so if you don’t drink buy one for someone else (lol), try the WATER OF LIFE, respect every singer and ask them for permission before you grab the second mic, and FTLoveOG don’t pick multiple songs back to back. Even when a group changes singers with duets, singing 4+ songs looks like ur group is hogging the mic. Lets spread the love and elevate the vibes.
If dark and dungeons is your thing it perfect. Drinks are strong. Bartenders are always on point.

I’ve been coming to The Shanghai’d Room for a little over two years now! The atmosphere has been great every time! The drinks are made with care, and the regulars are lively and friendly. The highlight of this spot is the karaoke from 8 pm - closing daily. I really found my confidence here!
This is greatly due to the lovely bartenders on staff. Meow was the first one that welcomed me and my friend in, and she was very attentive and made sure we had a blast!
All in all, the people are great and the decor is cozy and relaxing. A great spot to hit up during the weekdays as well as the packed weekends!
