  • 1/5 Tee Siang L. 4 years ago on Google
    Came here recently and manager was pretty unprofessional. Quoted $40 per person (2 hours), with extra $10 per person if we wanted to extend another hour. Paid and went to room, and was then accused of not paying enough. Sat around waiting to get this resolved, but nothing came of it, so we ordered drinks. Wanted to extend an hour and was then suddenly quoted $25 per person. Had to argue with them about their original quote, which they eventually succumbed to, while making us feel like they were doing us a favour. Eventually time was cut short as they obviously started the time as soon as we came through the front door. Even though we sat around unsure of how to begin as they were demanding we did not pay enough initially. Overall, a unpleasant experience and would not recommend to anyone.

    As an avid goer of karaoke bars. This by far has been the most unprofessional place i have ever been to. The operations by the manager is appalling, the dodgy tactics to hinder your entertainment here is a downright scam and shame. Reading through the comments of other displeased customers, we too experienced all the same circumstances as well, from payment issues, closing time connundrums, time issues and forced alcohol consumption at the end. Will give lower than 1 star if possible, highly do not recommend.

    Please avoid Stars KTV at all costs! Weekend away to meet longtime friends turned into a nightmare of an experience...they claimed that we underpaid and the timer started ticking once we got into the room, even though we spent about 30 minutes debating that they were wrong and we had to go to the lengths of showing receipts to confirm everyone's payment...very unprofessional and using dodgy tactics to shave time off the clock. Also when our shortened time was up, we were forced to leave the premises despite the debacle at the beginning of our night and forego our few hundred dollars worth of drinks, or drink it immediately. Stars KTV does not promote responsible drinking. Lastly, enforcing rules that do not exist...we decided to go to Stars KTV due to their opening hours listed on google (Open till 6am on weekends). To our surprise they enforced a lockout stating that no one in or out from 2am even though we had a group of friends waiting at the door to be let in from 1am...due to the lockout it was evident that they were allowing patrons to smoke indoors as we could smell it from our room, which goes against the indoor smoking bans across Australia. Update - Thank you Stephanie for your not so sympathetic copy and paste reply. It is unfortunate that you do not listen to your customer when they provide you with feedback of what they experienced at your venue. I would just like to state that I commend the security staff and staff working on the floors as we fully understood that they were just doing their job, however I question the professionalism of the male staff member that was working the counter who seemed to be the duty manager. When we confronted him of related matters the kind of unprofessional responses we received were "mind your mouth". And I would like to correct you in saying the confrontation of the underpayment occurred before the 2 additional friends arrived and also on the night before, so with this in mind I can only question the store policy you speak of as it seems to be standard practice - Extortion at it's finest. And I don't think you understood what I was referring to, the 15-20 minutes was not a kind gesture from your end, it was time we had paid for which was wasted due to your questionable store policy. And I am confused about your statement of smoking in the room as this is a blatant lie. Lastly, I don't see any changes being made to your opening hours on google? Is this something you will be looking into? Anyways once again, thanks for the terrible experience and I do not wish to waste another second of my life thinking of your venue. Regards, Sam

    Usually I would not write reviews. But this place is too dodgy not to!!!! Please avoid this place *Trying to scam me and my friends for under payments. *cutting our time short by 45mins!!! *can’t go outside to smoke. Instead they told us to smoke in the room!! But we knew you can’t smoke in the room so we got force to smoke in the toilet!!! *they force us to finished our drink in 5 minutes! I have never been treated this poorly in life!! I feel bad for my friends especially they came all the way from nz.

    Highly not recommended!! Avoid at all costs Had the worst karaoke experience ever here. Was over in Melb to catch up with friends whom I haven't seen in years. Looked up online and found this place which sounded like it catered for our needs. Big room and opened late Upon arrival we were charged $38 per person and then directed to go up to our room on the 3rd floor. Once in the room (took a photo of the time to have proof of when we arrived - 1:05am) we were greeted with staff whom accused us of not paying enough and began to argue with us. This was already a sign of when we should've just left. After about 30 mins we finally sorted and began to order drinks and start singing... Not too long into it another friend had arrived but was greeted with closed doors which was oddly strange. We were then told that the doors were closed and there was a no entry/exit policy in place. Which not to mention is absolutely made up by the owner, and Victoria State had already got rid of this law. So my poor friend was not allowed entry and had to taxi back home after only just getting out. Also because of this made up policy we couldn't go out to smoke, but was told by staff to just smoke in the room. Now this one I know, and is definitely a law. You can't smoke indoors... After a while of singing, we were once greeted by the staff again at about 2:15 saying "last song". We were really confused as we had paid for 2 hours, which should've meant we finish at 3:05am. Adamant as they were, we were told to finish our alcohol and leave. We still had a lot of drinks left so I asked if we were allowed to finish it before we go. After another 5 mins, they reluctantly gave us 15 mins. 3 staff were just standing with the door open staring at us. After some more debating I finally got them to leave and let us finish in peace. Here I thought that was the last of our problems. Not even 5 mins in, the door is swung open again, this time with security and we were told "Times Up" you have to leave now. Finally just want to say that I will not be recommending this place to anybody I know, and for those others STAY CLEAR of this place. Absolutely disgraceful service and does not deserve to be operating

    I went here with some friends after a night out. One person had gotten there early and booked a room, paying $100 for 4 people. She waited in the room for the rest of us to arrive. We arrived 45 minutes later and were asked to pay $25 per person. We also had $100 credit to use on drinks, we ordered and never received anything. We got through a song and was told our time was up, apparently it started when my friend sat in the room not using any equipment. We asked the guy to refund the fee for each person other than her, because she had "used" the room, and they would only refund the $25 per person and charged her $100 to sit in a room. We had another 30 people coming to join us and were planning to book a big room, we asked to use that $100 credit to go towards that booking which he didn't want to do. So we all left. Definitely ruined our night. He was also incredibly rude to my friends. They probably lost nearly $1000 in business though, so jokes on them. Do yourself a favor, go somewhere else. Kbox is really great and accommodating

    First timer poster but long time customer. Can honestly say the value and service is worthy of 5 stars any second, day and week of the year. $45 per customer gets you 2 mixed drinks that keeps the whole group satisfied and the witty and hospitality of the waiters keep you happy and wanting more. Stephanie took care of my group and made sure we were satisfied with our experience every step of the way, from the moment we walked in to the moment we were checking out. Very happy to conduct business at this hard working business and definitely will be back :-)

    This place is TRASH! They only want your money! Please don't waste your money here, it was our first time and definitely the last! Extremely horrible customer service skills from all the staff that we had encountered during the weekend. Room was out dated. All drinks ordered was so bad, honestly not sure how they actually still have the bar running with poor drink making skills, all alcoholic drink was disgusting, all jugs of soft drinks were flat and tasteless! Don't have a whole food menu available when you can't deliver any thing to the guest! We tried to order some food/snacks for the room and the staff said no one is in the Kitchen to prepare. There are many amazing karaoke rooms in City of Melbourne, and this is not one of them. Spend your money else where, and be treated the way a guest visiting should be treated.

    Dishonest staff and worst service. We paid before entering the room, and the staff told us they didn’t receive the first payment, Therefore paid second time. 2 days later checked online transactions only to discovered they charged twice. Called them asking for refund for the double chargers and they refuse to refund of double charges. Avoid this place at all cost! They even allowed customers to smoke inside the karaoke room. By law no smoking inside premises.

    $25 a head for a room was great. However, the alcohol was watered down and the speakers in the room we had were terrible. The videos with the music were also really bizarre. We also couldn’t control the volume. The service was amazing. Very quick. Ultimately, you get what you pay for so don’t expect anything extravagant.

  • 1/5 Ys K. 4 years ago on Google
    I am not sure where all these good reviews are from but I strongly do not recommend this place. The staffs were really dishonest and rude. I came to Melbourne to visit my friends and we came here to end it a fun night. I am usually a Korean Karaoke goer and I have never been to a Chinese KTV, so I was expecting a 'new' and 'different' experience which in turn turned out to be the 'first' and the 'worst' ever. First of all, we were overcharged, which the manager (I assume) had claimed one of my friend hadn't paid even after showing all of our bank transactions. After 30 minutes of the debate, and for us 'not' to ruin the night, one of my friend ended up paying, believing what the manager was stating that the previous transaction didnt go through. Several days after, she noted of the double transaction and that she was in fact charged twice. She called today to ask for a refund which was again refused by the manager there.. Dodgy as it sounds, we werent allowed to finish the full two hours we paid, and the staffs demanded us to leave through the back entrance for some reason. After this first time experience of Chinese KTV, stereodically to say, I dont believe I would ever go to another one. I was so disappointed, first, in the unprofessional rude manner we had been dealt with by the staffs there and secondly, the dishonesty of this place.

    Absolutely avoid coming here, the worst karaoke experience I've had. We came with a large group and were told that the room could accommodate us all, then rather than being charged for the room size as standard practice in karaoke bars they instead charged $32 per person. To nobody's surprise we did not all fit in the room, there was no room to see the screen and the volume levels were out of sync. The room did not have a stage area where the person singing could read lyrics from a screen, instead its design encouraged you to sit on the couch and sing which kind of defeats the point of karaoke. I ordered a vodka lime soda and was served something that tasted like methanol in a warm plastic cup with the rind end of a lemon in it instead of a lime slice. This business reeks of shady practices as it feels like they arbitrarily chose the $32 per head price based on the guaranteed business of a large group. Avoid it at all costs.

  • 4/5 Quỳnh N. 2 months ago on Google • 3 reviews New
    This is my first experience here. Overall, the service is good, the speaker and microphone are good, I can connect to Youtube to choose many songs, quite diverse. The consultation and information provision is brief, but it still takes quite a long time to reply to messages, maybe because I use Messenger so it has a bit of an impact. And the room for 5 people is a bit small, hopefully next time I come back I will have a better experience. Another idea is that the toilet will be much more convenient when you have a flushing system. Thank you!

    Speedy responses and very accommodating. Allowed us to book the venue before their usual opening hours. Catering and room booked for 27 people for an 18th birthday party in the afternoon 13:00-16:00. We brought our own birthday cake and decorated the room with our own decorations. They allowed us half an hour prior to set up.

  • 1/5 Alexan V. 4 years ago on Google
    My god this place is shocking. Expensive - The price is suppose to include food on the menu. However, only 3 options available from the wide range they had and it included beans... Would have rather get some money back from fee you pay seeing as the food was pretty much non existent. Management not friendly or welcoming. But if you like staff with an attitude, this place may for you. Not given full time paid for. This place is pretty dated and you have karaoke rooms on many different floors, but there is no elevator. Main entry and exit was locked and so we were made to go down a back exit which was dangerous as it was dirty, lights were off in many parts of that stairwell and made to go out a door taking you to an alley way. Health and safety definitely is not a priority here and I dont trust this place. Wont ever come back here again.

    Forced every single person on Google to give reviews for discounted drinks. None of these are legit - don't come here if you can avoid. This is the second review I've posted. They will try to discredit this review on no grounds but don't believe it - read the negative reviews being rebutted and see for yourself if you choose to visit. To the owners: it's ok to charge high prices but don't try to rip us off. If we pay for an hour, tell us when you start it from so we all know. If we order a bottle of vodka, open it in front of us so we can see it's not tampered with or watered down. If we pay a fee, charge us a fair credit card surcharge (see ACCC website for guidance on this). I hope you take this on board for future customers and don't lie to future customers in your response to this review too.

    Would not recommend at all, lots of other similar venues with far better service. 2 drinks were included and we got 1 round and they tried to over charge as some items were over the $10 limit, they came back and said they were wrong so gave out money back but after asking for our second round of drinks for the fourth time we left as was not worth the time, shocking service. Every time they came in and took our drink order no one wrote it down and there was 10 of us so no wonder why they didn’t remember it, tasked us to leave after 2 hours us and we advised one last time we didn’t get our drinks but no one returned . Don’t waste your time

    Good music selection. Seemed as though the bar staff had never served alcohol in their life though. Ordering drinks was difficult and overpriced. Toilets didn't have a lock, and didn't flush. No care and no service knowledge Reply from owner is a straight up lie to save face

    Horrible service and no air cons. The staff told us that it was 25 dollars for an hour and a half session but we were kicked out after an hour and told that the 25 was for an hour. Unfortunately you might see a lot of good reviews but the venue promises a free voucher for 5 star reviews so just read carefully. Steph the manager is completely and utterly rude and yelled at us which made us feel really uncomfortable, completely and utterly disappointed. The staff are terribly rude and are very argumentative. Avoid at all costs unless you want you want to be lied too and ripped off

    Don’t waste your money here, go to kbox instead. We came as a group of 5. And we only had two mics, so we called the guy for more and he was so rude and told us it doesn’t matter how many person “you’ll only get two mics”. And told us don’t waste the time. Interior is very old and rundown. The only nice thing about that place is the security guy. $25 pp per hour, while you’d pay $35 for the whole night on Thursday with including one drink at k-box. DO NOT GO THERE.

    BIG SCAM ! They told you that you have to put a good review to have one drink for free, she even wrote it herself with my phone, thats why this place have so many good reviews but it’s fake, you will just have a 10$ discount on your first drink, and still have to pay 25$ for entry with no drinks included. Just look at all the reviews you will understand what’s happening there Also the place is dirty and it’s cold in the private rooms. The staff just wants your money not that you have good time.

    Spent $38 pp and it does not include drink credits. Way too overpriced compared to what else is out there. Mircrophone batteries were not working (but got this fixed) and the room looks like it has not bene refurbished in over 15 years. Song selections were challenging to navigate.

    Its always wonderful to come back to the STARS with a lot of people, the STARS room always does the job. Because we always wanted the STARS room we were also told if have 30people we can also have a 206 room upstairs. This room I was told it comes with a toilet as well so that we don't need to go out and share with other people. That was great to hear, more choices for me to choose since I always have a lot people with me. Great work STARS next time I'll book that room when I have less people.

We were waiting for our other friends to arrive while security asked are we aware of prices and that it’ll be $75 for 3 of us implying that we’re poor and can’t afford it. Kept asking rude and personal questions! What a shame to this company ! Do not waste of your money on this place ! Go somewhere else

    Terrible service and they ripped us off. Made so many promises over the phone and when we came but they instead undercut us when it came down to it. We called for a 4hr session but they told us only 2hrs. Felt like they were trying to cater for the rush of ppl and undercut us whenever they could, including the drinks and they promised and alcohol expense. The alcohol was also diluted and not worth getting.

    There were many issues with how we were treated here: -Stephanie had charged us extra (a local confirmed we should have been charged $10 less pp). - The vodka soda we ordered had a very low level of vodka (they gave us a new one after apologising) They were very understaffed, disorganised and rude. The karaoke rooms were good but the chairs were weathered and the mics were working very intermittently. All in all a very average experience (even when drunk).

    First time going to Stars KTV to celebrate a friends birthday and it was quite busy being a Saturday night so it was understandable that we had to wait to be served. The host was doing her best to serve everyone but it looked very understaffed and we ended up waiting more than 30 minutes to get our room. When we were finally told our room number we go up to find that other customers were inside, and we had to ask and wait another while to get assistance from staff. We were told it’s our room and to kick the other customers out which could have caused quite a commotion given that no staff member came up to fix the problem. by then we had lost nearly half our allocated time for karaoke before we even got started. Quite disappointing service and we had high expectations considering the good reviews written by others. The song selection is quite broad and I was honestly amazed to see so many new songs updated on the music selection, so it was just a shame to not be able to use up the most of our time to sing those songs.

    The kareoke system worked mostly well, with a good selection of songs however the bar service was incredibly slow. The host, Stephanie was kind and she did try best to be accomodating which I appreciate but they desperately need to hire more staff in order to provide a sufficient service! They said we can order drinks from the room but it took ages for someone to come take our order. It's a strict 2 hour booking and after 1.5 hours we still had not received all our drinks. I had to go to the bar to chase up the drinks myself, and when we finally had them, my friends said they were not nice to drink. Especially when the drinks are included in the fee we pay, this is just not good enough. We were still able to enjoy the kareoke but we definitely left feeling disappointed with the night.

    Friendly staff (edited) First i gotta say that, i'm quite disappointed that a google review, sorry a GOOD google review was requested in order to get a drink with my Karaoke session, which wasn't explained to me over the phone when i booked. I thought the drink was a given and included as the price was quite high ($25)for standard one hr per person (for a non peak hr weeknight) although the drink credit was $10 after review i just thought a common soft drink or juice would be included regardless,but i was wrong. Anyways moving on to the Karaoke experience itself, The Mic quality wasn't great and it was hard to navigate the effects, fifteen minutes before our session was about to end the staff comes in a rudely, pauses our music and asked us to pay before proceeding even a minute more, how ridiculous. I would like to think a better approach to your customers would be knocking on their door first , give them some hand signals saying in 10mins you finish and not just barging in, stopping our fun time. You could also try an automated system where it will show on the screen how many minutes left of your customers session for them to be able to decide to add another session or to just go, and for them to come to you and not you disturbing a fun session ruining the night. This was suppose to be our fun trip from Sydney to Melbourne and you guys have ruined a part of it. Will not be returning. Oh and if english is not your strong suit here's a quick translation : 你哋係垃圾.

    I’ve been to many karaoke bars in Melbourne and wanted to try a new one but I regret choosing this one. The rooms are outdated, the system is extremely difficult to navigate but the worst part was the attendants. I don’t know what’s their hiring standards but this one guy was extremely rude which ruined the whole night and whole image of the business. He looked like he didn’t even want to be there. We called him to ask him for help on how to select songs and he didn’t say anything he just pressed a few buttons and then left abruptly without explanation so I had to figure it out myself. The microphones were out of battery so I called him again to ask for a battery replacement. He asked me: “Are you drunk”? when it turns out the microphone battery was just a little loose. Disgusting behaviour, unprofessional and bad attitude. I feel sorry for a business when one person ruins it for everyone. He needs to learn some manners, fix his attitude or get re-trained on how to deal with customers or no one would want to come. Disappointing

    I've had colder bottles of corona at the bottom of my cupboard from two years ago! No eftpost so made us pay via bank transfer, 25$ PLUS more for drinks. We had 8 people so easy 200$ for the room which we got for one hour. Which the timer started for the hour and we weren't even inside the room yet. Once we were inside the room it smelt so bad, no windows or air con for eight people inside. Left straight away, didn't even bother for a refund. If you have read the other review replies they will likely tell me there is a shortage in staff, if I drink the beverages faster they won't go warm, it was a Saturday night so it gets busy. For some reason the eftpost is not there fault.

    My friends and i would go there every now and then to play darts, have a few drinks and sing at the lounge. Nice atmosphere. Staff is always friendly and loves a chat

  • 5/5 Jamie C. 4 years ago on Google
    great place to be to have a few drinks and relax in lounge. There’s dart machine to play and we can sing karaoke in lounge with a purchase of a drink.

    Came here on a Friday night with friends. It was the first time that I have sang karaoke and we had so much fun singing the 90’s music. It brings back a lot of memories. We’ve also order chicken wings and other snacks. The chicken wings is a must order!

  • 5/5 Georg N. 4 years ago on Google
    Was here last wk with my missus, and the place is amazing. very nice lounge and some good friendly guys at the bar serving you and to have a chat. We were able to sing for an hr with just the purchase of a drink. Although u just need to share around the mic but is all good everyone can have a go. My missus was the one mainly having a blast she sang her heart out. As long as my missus happy im happy^^ definitely come back

  • 1/5 why not 6. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) the microphone not working and the worker here refuse to exchange with bad attitude, not gonna come again. If you are a Chinese, don't come here, the service quality of this bird is poor, and the sound quality of the box is poor. (Original) the microphone not working and the worker here refuse to exchange with bad attitude,not gonna come again. 如果你是中国人千万别来,这鸟地方服务贼差,包厢音质贼差。

    Microphones kept dying on us while singing. Went through 10 different ones in a span of an hour - killed our karaoke experience. It was fun when they worked! Song selection was good, music could of been louder! Drinks were average

    Mad experience, we had a little disco concert in our little private room n I swear we were all screaming our lungs out even the waiters were laughing but hey we were having a good time. The waiters gave us a thumbs up when we leave and said see us next time with a better wilder concert. Definitely she will and next wk we will be coming back. Thanks STARS ktv

  • 5/5 Ivan R. 4 years ago on Google
    Mad experience we sure had a great time. Thanks STARSKTV.. lovely service, the guys were great serving us. We shouted them a drink but funny enough they said only one drink is enough because they say they are still on shift which is understandable. We will be back very soon thank you 5 stars...

    Very nice Venue and as you said on the website it has over 200,000 songs, too many to choose from. I'm a classic person so more classic songs, it was just too good. Definitely come back for more classic session n this time bring in more friends to party.

  • 5/5 Yini L. 4 years ago on Google
    I came from Sydney for a short trip n friends and I decided to go for a round trip to different karaokes and there came STARSKTV, comparing to KBOX and PARTYWORLD there customer service was no where near as good as you STARSKTV. The guys at the reception were super friendly and even one of them were from Sydney, we had a good chat and they even shouted me a shot. I would definitely come back very soon, P.S Sydney karaoke is no where near as good as you STARSKTV, They lack on smiles n friendly customer service. So keep it up and I will see you very soon.

  • 5/5 Dereck T. 4 years ago on Google
    Great venue, drinks are reasonable comparing to other venues much pricy at other places when you buy bottles like Hennessy. Great work STARSKTV keep it up, will return very soon

  • 5/5 Adrian U. 4 years ago on Google
    I was here last night and had a blast at the VIP room just getting ready for the Christmas. The room was great we get our own toilet, everyone had fun. I feel sorry for the waiters and bartenders at the bar and on the floor because me and my missus took your Christmas hats and headpiece to wear, but it was all good we shouted them shots from our room and they shouted us back as well.. that's the Christmas spirit we need.. definitely come back real soon STARSKTV all the way.

Looking forward to my next visit in the coming days as having another bdayy coming up. I strongly suggest everyone get to STARSKTV asap if you want reasonable prices for karaoke.

  • 1/5 Elizabeth T. 3 years ago on Google
    We went on the weekend and they ripped us. The most expensive Karaoke I have ever been to and the place is disgusting and dirty. You can smell the garbage in all of the floors. The cashier at the bar was so rude and only cares about the money. Don't waste your money on this place!

  • 3/5 Alvin Z. 3 years ago on Google
    Environment and devices are fine. Services not very good. May because they were very busy when I visited.

    With years of experience at Stars KTV, my friends and I enjoy our happy hours each time.  Staff there is fast responding including food/drinks services and booking confirmations.  We would recommend people bring friends to hold functions such as birthday parties within budget.

  • 5/5 Jessica C. 2 years ago on Google
    Been to stars KTV Karaoke countless times and not only is there a great song selection, the service is impeccable. Staff is very attentive to the needs of the customers and the vibe inside the venue is just *chefs kiss*

  • 5/5 Craig S. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing Karaoke bar in the heart of Melbourne that never disappoints! Fast service, friendly staff and great vibes makes this KTV a favourite.

  • 5/5 Bill M. 3 years ago on Google
    So it's kinda great. Karaoke rooms. Amazing service. Fried food is VERY plain, not like a restaurant at all, just expect a serve as it would be heated from your freezer. But it has e-darts and karaoke! And they let me in. So just awesome.

  • 5/5 赖俊伟 2 years ago on Google
    Very hard to get a room in weekend in this venue, but we had a great time last Saturday. Liquor price is quite reasonable, even cheaper than normal bar. Friendly service, also have latest songs available in their system. Definitely will come back again very shortly.

  • 4/5 Miguel C. 2 years ago on Google
    It's really good to find a karaoke bar in the heart of Melbourne when everyone is shut. The staff was very helpful even though we did not book prior going in. They even arrange the postage when I forgot to collect my ID. The only thing that I notice was the limited selection of songs. It could be better I reckon.

  • 2/5 Ashoka G. 2 years ago on Google
    The experience started with the security guard death staring me when I walked up to the door without a reservation even though I had called a few minutes prior being told there were many free rooms available. My girlfriend and I then simply proceeded to get rushed into getting our drinks at the start of the session rather than throughout by staff. The facilities/microphones were average. I do not think I'll be returning there as I did not feel welcome in the slightest.

  • 5/5 mu b. 1 year ago on Google
    The service here is very good. It was a perfect experience! There are many kinds of songs. It's all up to date. The drinks are also very delicious and very cost-effective. Employee brother is very handsome and very friendly.

  • 5/5 Bella M. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Hong N. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing place to go to. Staff were very helpful even though we did not have a booking and they were able to accommodate a group of 15 easily. Will be coming back in the future.

  • 5/5 Maz N. 1 year ago on Google
    The staff was incredibly catering towards a large group of people and was able to accurately have all of our orders delivered quickly. Would definitely come back again!

  • 4/5 Jo D. 1 year ago on Google
    This place always have a room for us as long as we call to book in advance. Although a little pricey, most were happy to spend around $45 for 2 hours of singing. Great for after after parties cause they open until late :P

  • 5/5 Jordan C. 1 year ago on Google
    Steph was the best host I’ve ever had a karaoke bar! Her and all the staff were so accommodating and very fun! They made our experience so enjoyable and we appreciate them so much!

  • 5/5 William B. 1 year ago on Google
    The vibe was excellent even on a Monday. The bar had an exceptional range, the tracks were extremely hot, and at the end of it all it brought us together and what more can you ask of a premium karaoke venue

  • 5/5 Theresa V. 1 year ago on Google
    Friendly staff and great variety of song selections!

  • 1/5 Trent B. 1 year ago on Google
    This dodgy run karaoke bar only got 2 stars as the quality of their mics was fairly good. I've found more alcohol in an empty spirit bottle than I had in the drinks last night. Buy bottled drinks is my suggestion. All of our party complained of the same problem. After reading the reply, have since dropped it to one star. Clearly there are more people than us that have complained, as we are not the ones she is talking about in her response. A clear guide to beware when ordering alcohol at this premises

  • 5/5 Isabel F. 1 year ago on Google
    Great service! Amazing staff and vibes 💕 would definitely come back. I recommend it to friends! Steph was lovely!

  • 5/5 Amber G. 1 year ago on Google
    Steph was amazing to deal with! Super friendly and made sure our evening was one to never forget 🥰

  • 5/5 Mart1z1n0 1 year ago on Google
    The owners are are really pleasant. The room is spacious for 3 people. I think it can accommodate up to 7 or 8. The mic sound is superb. They sometimes uses original music videos. Bad thing bout it, is that sometimes you can hear the original singers voice. Overall enjoyed it so much. Price wise, its in the same range as the other karaoke bar in the area. Mic sound really is the best ☆☆☆ of the two ktv bar I had been to in the area.

  • 1/5 Lauren B. 1 year ago on Google
    Okay so the lady at the front told us we had an hour and a half to use the karaoke machine then got told we were only meant to be there for an hour when speaking to the lady at the front she denied this she said we don’t have special rates when she clearly said this to me and my friends? I won’t be returning horrible place and liars!

  • 5/5 Bradley B. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing experience Steph the worker that works in service is really nice to talk to! And drinks are made perfectly as well! Thank you soo much for an amazing time and talk 🥰

  • 5/5 Amelia g. 8 months ago on Google
    been to a lot of karaoke places this one was great! Really lovely staff which always makes a difference - free standard drink per person with a booking which was great, good song selection nice mics and sound system with clean rooms. Will definitely be coming back! (also one of the few places to let my underage sibling come along so great fun for the whole family)

  • 1/5 Mary M. 8 months ago on Google
    The place is not clean. The server in our floor as so rude. We ordered 2 jugs of drinks but didn’t give us glasses. Shouted at us and left.

  • 1/5 Rhys W. 8 months ago on Google
    Super crazy priced. First place I’ve ever seen that is trying to sell Soju by the shot?. Also they are using Woolworths branded Cola selling as coke. Microphones kept cutting out. Far better karaoke bars in Melbourne to visit.

  • 1/5 Sachini D. 4 months ago on Google
    Worst place for karaoke honestly Paid $35 and ordered a hot chocolate and they don’t even know how to make a simple drink.. wasted like 15 mins trying to figure it out and last refund the $10 for drinks Will not recommend this place for anyone !

  • 5/5 Cimmarro L. 2 months ago on Google New
    Amazing karaoke here. Friendly, safe and great selection of music. Always a great experience here

  • 1/5 Genevieve P. 4 months ago on Google • 1 review
    They charged huge prices for room hire and added dollars onto drinks menu to take advantage of those who have enjoyed their night. For example they said a jug was a set up price and then added $5 for the mixer (soda water). Also $7.50 for a glass sparking water. It's a rip off. Also the boss did not know what was going on and was checked with his staff to check how much we were charged. Do not recommend. Save your money and go somewhere else.
