Super clean rooms with up to date technology - I can't emphasize how nice it is to be in a clean karaoke place. They also have karaoke score-keeping (how well you sang the song) for those who are looking for that kind of thing.The price for hourly karaoke is good and the staff are friendly. The one fault is the price of the drinks (honestly, I've seen worse prices, and everyone has to stay afloat somehow so I cannot blame them).Otherwise I can easily put Den Social as one of my go-to places from now on, mostly from the cleanliness alone!

I’ve been to many karaoke spots in NYC but Den Social is by far my favorite. The service is great , the employees are friendly and helpful. They have a large variety of songs to choose from. My group of 6 had an amazing time! We had a private room that was a great price. We weren’t pressured to order drinks or food like other places. ?? It’s such a gem 10/10 ?.

The drinks were the only thing I would comment on, they’re watered down and around 13-18$ each so you’d expect them to hit a bit more. But It was still a great time. The staff is super friendly! From the security to the bar tenders to the food servers and the person working the rooms, everyone was amazing. Def going back!

Heard so much hype about this club and it was the worst club I've ever been to in my life. Line was so long for no reason, when we got in at 12 the place was very empty. Dj was shit, cutting music every 30 seconds when the beat is just about to drop. Also the people inside are all so rude and pushing/shoving people around or cutting people to go to front without even saying 'excuse me' or sorry. We were three girls and we kept being pushed around by girls who were way too drunk to stand up on her own. Security did nothing as well, some people were definitely way too wasted to be there safely. It feels like I'm back in an Asian frat basement party as a freshman, and not in a good way. I don't think the place is even worth the 20$ tbh.

den social has a good mission but terrible management. Specifically, I want to bring attention to bouncers. As an Asian club, the goal should be to provide a safe space for our community in New York and more so America. But the bouncers' power tripping is so insanely off the charts that this mission is often eradicated. I went with a group of guys Friday and one brought his s/o. She had a shooter in her bag which was found. Honestly I think most people would agree this is not a big deal yet the bouncer prevented her from going in even though she relinquished control of it. I mean, I personally had two shooters in my back pocket that went undetected. They then just took her fireball. The black bouncer with a forearm sleeve also called my black friend the n-word as we were leaving. This guy who's pic is attached is the worst. To this guy: I know you won't see this review but your disappointing actions need to be out there. My brother, you are the reason why progress for Asian Americans in this country is so stagnated. I cannot fathom why your ego as a mid 5'7" overweight dude with a turkey chin feels so compelled to ruin a girl's night. It's not like my group was a pack of ABGs tryna sauce our way into Den. I guess you just have some unburied past bouncer trauma and just felt the need to unleash it on her and exact your "revenge". He left me by saying "are you serious?" when I asked for her to be let in. Well, I'll shoot it back to you - are you serious? Your parents left their country just to immigrate to a foreign land, worked so hard, and you just became a mid-ass bouncer with negative empathy? Good luck bro I would be ashamed if I turned out like you. Our community supports you Den Social every weekend - it's time you put your most loyal crowd first.

Waited sooo long (like 2 hrs) buttttt it was so worth it!!! Music was amazing!!! Better than any other bar/club I've been to in Manhattan. Stayed until close & would def go again (but next time i hope line is shorter !!!)

Karaoke spot tucked away in Den Social. It's the same entrance, but you have to go downstairs to get to the karaoke rooms. There's oddly no signal but there is wifi and the staff are all very helpful. Rooms are spacious and my friends love how there's no drink minimum. Soju prices and other drinks are similar to other karaoke spots in the area. Drinks are all pretty good and they have your standard fare. The machines have international songs, so if you like to sing Chinese or Korean music they have a decent variety. Slightly fewer Chinese songs than some nearby spots but most of the classics are here.

Use to be a decent club but recently they started acting boujee but keeping the club empty and long line outside. How do y'all even make money like that, lame club and workers.
Den Social is close to Koreatown, and thus is really popular amongst an Asian population. Most of the crowd inside are Asian, and it's common to hear remixes of Blackpink throughout the night! For some reason, they keep the inside pretty empty until around midnightThey make you wait in line, but when you get in, it's almost empty until around 11:30pm. The key is to get in line at around 10pm; any later and the wait is around 1-2 hours. Around and after midnight, the club becomes a lot more full and pretty chaotic, with a lot of pushing and shoving going around.There's a $20 cash-only cover; there's an ATM inside the club, but I've only been able to use it because I had friends that had their cover ready on-hand and were able to vouch for me. Coat/Bag check is now $5 per item, also cash-only! We also usually get tequila shots for around $10 each.

It was a rainy day and I got in line at 10. Somehow we barely moved and got in after 11. It didn't seem to make sense. I think they were building hype and making the line long. They check your id and bag. Then you pay cover in cash only lol. There's a cash coat check. The music sucked until maybe 12:30 or 1, and the place was packed. There are three bathrooms stalls for women. I joined my friend's table. It was over $100 pp and I think random people tried to come in and drink the alcohol.

stood in line for more than 2hrs. they still won't let us in. They were forcing us to download some app that allows us to enter. but we decided to stay in line because we were in the front of the line. they still won't let us go in. Treated us like we are some peasants. We didn't leave because we already waited for a long time. We should have just let. Do better.

The establishment was clean, staff was really attentive and kind. The chicken was delicious and crunchy. I would recommend and come back. (Only thing no bad bunny)

Great Karaoke experience - I like their keyboard that could create different cheering sounds, very cool ?
