I love the music at this place honestly. However, the security has no manners. I had to wait for my friend to collect me since I have no $20 cash for the entrance (I only use card) then he grabbed me forcefully to put the stamp after paying cash. All I’m saying is no one deserves to be treated this way with coercion. I would understand if atleast I was making a slight scene there but not a chance. If mgt could develop awareness to their security that would be helpful as it affected me so much throughout that night.
There are much better options in the area. The staff is rude, the bouncers are particularly awful, and the karaoke system is outdated and doesn’t have many of the most popular songs/artists. Avoid at all costs!

Pretty tacky spot. Not worth the money.
Expensive drinks. Weak drink menu.
I wish I could’ve given this place 0 stars. Didn’t even get a chance to go in because of the racial profiling. Went with a group of my friends and the only ethnic people were the ones that were denied entry. My friend wore a Liverpool jersey and I wore fashionable sweatpants. Bouncer says we couldn’t come in because of my friends jersey and my sweatpants. I’d normally say whatever but this is the first time I’ve been denied entry considering I’ve worn this exact outfit to a club.
I’d expect this behavior minus the racism if they were the only karaoke place in the area but they have a handful of competition near by. My friends and I went to another spot and had a blast. I can honestly say I will never come to this place again and any friends or acquaintances that want recommendations I’d use this place as an example of somewhere never to go.

Very bad karaoke and lounge area. Bouncers are rude and staff unattentive. So many better options around

Bouncers power trip and act like the club is exclusive when they have zero line

Lamest karaoke I’ve been to
It’s a joke
It literally made us feel like LOSERS just sitting in that room
We felt so uncomfortable
点歌系统跟个90年代是的? 没有原唱 不能插歌 哈哈哈哈
Some of the staff were nice but
There’re no music videos, you’re singing Rihanna to like random videos of grass and mountains ?
Staff came in so many times just interrupting for no good reason and banged the door when they got out
We’re in the middle of a song they just kept walking in and wanted us to either decide whether we’re leaving or not or wanted to notify us of our time left and put the bill on the table.
The bill was seriously RIDICULOUS.
We spent 120$ for 1 hour, we got no water no alcohol and just some chicken.
Most of the time the system didn’t even work.
The remote control is so old school lol I felt like it was a trip back in time ????
Terrible music quality
Utterly weird experience

These bouncers are racist and dont let foreigners in. They judge by looks and try to justify rejections in other ways. My friends were extremely offended and don’t ever want to repeat this experience again.. change your employees..

Because I lost my phone.
I went with a group of people for my friends birthday on 6/21/24. Ladies were free. I’m going to assume that they were racist, because they charged the one asian guy in our group $20 for the cover fee, and the rest of the guys who were a mix of black and hispanic were asked to pay $40. My partner who is Hispanic knew that the cover charge was expected to be $20, because thats what they charged our asian guy friend, but upon meeting the bouncer, they completely switched up and demanded $40.
On top of that, the place was dead with barely any people at 12 am, the dj had trash music with terrible transitions between songs. It is unreasonable to charge people that much for club that was not even good, and it is racist to charge people more because they don’t appear asian. As an asian myself, I would never ever recommend this place to anyone.

The machine was a bit confusing at first, but we had a blast once we figured it out. The place is a bit pricy. The tips here go crazy. I recommend going to the other karaoke building across the street by Hmart, it is better.
