Parking can be a bit of a headache unless you grab a spot in the lot off Mariposa, but once you pass that hurdle, I think it is worth it though once youâre inside. You check in at the entrance, they check your ID , and head downstairs to this sleek underground bar and karaoke setup. The vibe is fun and a little upscale, which doesn't mean you have to dress upscale. The bartenders and servers are absolutely fantastic; super attentive all night and overall great cocktails.
We booked one of the private karaoke rooms, which was perfect for our group which I think went for $40, might be wrong. You can use their built-in song system or just pull up YouTube. Our group went the YouTube route and it worked great for what we needed or wanted to sing.
Food-wise, a bit hit or miss. The gochujang wings had a nice spicy kick and crispy texture, but the chicken itself tasted a little too frozen. Mac and cheese was fine, nothing special, although I think it had too many breadcrumbs. The winner for us were the chicken nachos. Calamari was okay and the dipping sauce it came with was really meh. Desserts were surprisingly good though, so end on that note.
Overall, the service was great, awesome karaoke setup, decent food. Heads up, gratuityâs included, but still tip your bartenders, they really make the night.

I rented a private room for 18 people for my birthday, and we had a blast! The staff was very attentive and patient with us (despite it being a large and chaotic group). They have YouTube connected to the rooms up so you can literally grab any karaoke song you want (and not be stuck with whateverâs in âthe bookâ). Parking is also easy - there is a parking structure that costs $1.99 with validation - a dream deal for K-town! They were also very responsive to my emails ahead of time which helped with planning. Would definitely recommend for a birthday or latge group gathering!

My friends and I have been coming to this place for karaoke for years. Theyâve always been a bit serious with security (walking past rooms and checking youâre not doing anything youâre not supposed to) and itâs usually fine but the this last time we went it felt like a microaggression. I felt like every time we looked at the door, there was a worker just walking by staring at us. We were suddenly âinterruptedâ multiple times under the guise of them checking that we were doing fine, but again, it was more than obvious they were just trying to catch us doing something. I literally donât know what. The last straw was one of the workers suddenly coming into the room and looking through our table, telling us he was âlooking for a receiptâ or something. Again, not SUBTLE at all. Iâm not sure if they saw four brown girls and they thought weâre doing something illegal? I canât fathom what we couldâve possibly done to get that treatment but we felt uncomfortable the whole night. Itâs so sad because we genuinely loved this place and have been coming for years, but after this experience we wonât be back :(

We always have so much fun when we do a karaoke night here. The staff is incredibly friendly and accommodating (April is amazing!), and the karaoke rooms are clean, have fun lighting, and great songs. I couldn't recommend it more!!

I brought a group of friends here for karaoke last Saturday and we had an absolute blast! I wanted to give a special shout out to Jack, who was our server that evening. Jack was so friendly and laid back which put all of us at ease, and he was very patient with my questions about the song selector keyboard. We were well looked after all evening!
This was my second time at The Venue for karaoke and I gotta say, I doubt I'll ever go elsewhere in LA. The vibes are great, the rooms are comfortable, the drinks are excellent, and the mix of karaoke machine + Youtube is ideal- any song you want, you can do.
The booking process is quite easy- a mix of automated and email, so it still has a human element which I appreciate.
My one and only suggestion would be to run the AC in the rooms after a group has been in for an hour or so. Once you start dancing and getting silly it gets a little hot in there.
Delicious food ,and good services đđ»
