    Overall, this place could have been fun, but we were seated at the furthest booth when there were closer seats to the Koraoke stage. We felt so isolated. We asked to be moved to the other open tables, and we were told yes, but it never happened. They did have a great app ordering system, but other than that, sadly, we didn't have dun.

    Wow. Just Wow. This bar is absolutely incredible. Most notably, the cleanest, most comfortable bar I have ever been in. They offer a smart-phone-based system for ordering drinks, requesting karaoke, and even closing out your tab, which was absolutely incredible. Freezing Cold A/C was a welcome escape from the tropics, and their drinks were strong, affordable, and very tasty. Definitely a gay bar, all are welcome with an open mind. Karaoke talent among the clientele is top-notch here too, applause all around.

    Just the most disrespectful people I could imagine. Don't go here. Not worth it. Even if you are queer. I think they are just gay and wanting to get money out of the rest of the queer community. Very sad day for hawaii, queer community.

    It seemed like a nice bar. Fun karaoke. Hire more bartenders so I can order a drink under 20 minutes and I’ll give 5 stars.

    Absolutely had the time of my life here! Everyone was so nice and I love that everyone is welcome. The drinks are so good and I love how you can order through the app and they'll deliver the drinks to you. The karaoke is awesome too.

    Back in Michigan I do karaoke 3, sometimes 4 times a week. There was no organization whatsoever. Some people were singing 3 or more , when I waited for 1 1/2 hours and never sang. It was obvious they played favorites!! Don't know if we will back!! Very dissapointed!!

    Loved it here. We didn’t see any problems with staff or patrons at all like many other reviews said. We had an amazing time and sang along with the crowd. Drinks were nice, well made and quick. Starting a tab is so easy too. I wish there was more seating but I understand there isn’t always space to add more. A fantastic place if you want to stay here for a couple of hours and drink.

    Loved this place until the female bartender ruined our whole experience. I didn’t know dancing was a reason to kick someone out of a bar. We not only paid for karaoke but we spent a pretty penny on drinks and tipped very well (we tipped $20 bucks before ever getting a drink) . Then during a popular song we danced a little too enthusiastically I guess and “tripped” (no one fell over, ran into anyone, or disturbed anyone). That was the reason the bartender told us to leave the bar. Not cut us off, but leave the bar. Utterly disappointed, we were not disrespectful or hindering anyone else’s experience. I guess it is a crime to get a little drunk in a bar now. Never going back.

    Vibe was great but then around 1 am the bartender called last call and by 1.10 am he aggressively turned everything off and on a microphone forced people to chug their drinks. Incredibly uncomfortable and several patrons vomited outside the establishment. Like he screamed that we need to chug our drink and leave the place, despite a 2 am close time. Ruined our experience.

    Fun night out! Took awhile to finally get to our song selection so expect to wait if you want to sing. bring cash because you have to pay to sing ($1 per song so not bad but our party just doesn’t carry around cash). Drinks were made quick and well and vibes were good! Was kind of weird that the bartenders kept singing songs? I feel like they should leave that to patrons especially when it’s so busy you have to wait so long to get to your song. But other than that it was a fun outing!

    Honestly the most fun and safe environment. Loved all the vibes from everyone performing and everyone there in general. Great drinks, helpful staff. Compared to the surrounding areas, for this quality of drink (lived my mule) these drinks were great, strong, and affordable. Had a great time.

    Reasonable prices, karaoke was so much fun! If you install the app you can order drinks and karaoke songs from wherever you're sitting. Super convenient, I wish every bar had this!

  • 1/5 Estevan C. 5 months ago on Google
    Rude owner wanted 20 dollars to sing a song. I was on the list and kept getting bumped back. I stayed at number 13 for 2 hours!! He only wants money. Be aware owner only wants bribes! SCAM Artists!!! Only way you will get a song to sing. He caters to his locals and locals only. If you are from out of town do not go. It was very uncomfortable and very biased. Thought I would treat my wife to a song that she loved but they never let me. Although people who came after me where allowed to sing. I have never been treated like this! Then he disrespected me but I’m on vacation so I will never go back and let all my followers not to go there!!!!!

    This place is almost perfect. Great drinks, staff, atmosphere. My only complaint is that they are totally inconsistent with running the actual karaoke part of the night. You look at the performance order on the screen and you have 2 people in front of you, then after one song you look again and there are now 6 people ahead of you and and some people sing 2 or 3 times before you sing once. I don't mind paying $1 to sing karaoke, but then maybe have someone dedicated to running the show and keeping it fair between all singers, not just the bartenders favorite people or people paying more to be bumped up the line or whatever is going on. It has happened to me every single time I've gone and it almost ruins the experience.

    0star. Don’t go. Waste of your time. 40+ looking bartenders will bully you like they never grow up. It was amazing to see how ugly inside and outside bartenders ignore you because we looked tourists. Rude big low life bartenders with filthy place. Dirty. Bartenders will ignore you, grab a microphone from you so they can sing horribly to us. Lol I saw so many groups walked away. I had experienced the worst in my whole life. Stay away from these low lives. They don’t deserve any

    What a fabulous karaoke bar. I loved the online sign up system for singing! The staff was super sweet and helpful. The drinks were creative, unique, and tasty; I’ve never seen anything like them at any other bar. You will need your smartphone to fully enjoy this place, it is definitely a 21st century bar.

    One of the best karaoke bars I've been to. Pure fun! Everybody is welcome and getting a song in is easy. We were here on the early side so it's wasn't too crowded

  • 3/5 Joseph D. 11 months ago on Google
    I had such a great time here. Karaoke was lit! Highly recommend, good vibes and cheap drinks. I would’ve rated higher if the staff hadn’t taken my drinks before 2 AM and kicked everyone out to have their own private party. The AUDACITY! I was shocked when my drink went missing after I sang the final song of the night and everyone was getting escorted out at 1:20 AM. Luckily, I used their bathroom one last time. When I walked out, I witnessed the staff pouring each other drinks and about to get turnt! I was GOBSMACKED! I felt left out and wishing I was able to finish my margarita. Will come back again but I’ll be clutching my drink for dear life.

    Had a blast here. Singing karaoke drinking a few drinks that were very inexpensive compared to other places in the area. The bartenders were attentive and fun. Had a great time

  • 4/5 Kyle C. 5 months ago on Google
    Great time for karaoke at the end of our night! $1 to have the bar tender set you up with a karaoke song.

  • 2/5 Sinead S. 1 year ago on Google
    Was there when the hosts were 3 lovely guys… the sounds system was very good, mic volume you can hear yourself and great reverbs or effects but tonight Wednesday 14th Sept 2022. It was awful the setup was not worth $1 per song. The hosts were girls. Not consistent and even the customers not just me requested for the mic to be turned up bit. The long curly haired host suggested to make the paying customer to SUFFER. I love the place and ambience the first visit and impression. Sadly only one TOILET FOR LIKE 50 to 60 people in the venue. Hit and miss. I don’t RECOMMEND.

  • 5/5 Ryan S. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a lot of fun here! Great drink selection and reasonable prices. Did get very crowded so recommend getting there early to find a spot at the bar. Karaoke was very popular so if you do get there later you may have to wait for your song to get to play. Also song are cheap only a dollar, just have to use their online system to request a song

  • 5/5 Courtney P. 1 year ago on Google
    Enjoy singing here. They get a lot of people wanting to sing so expect to wait a good amount of time for your turn. Otherwise, fun environment. Crowd gets into the kareoke. Staff is fun, people seem to generally behave themselves. Place gets crowded and its not a very big bar. Standing room only many times.

  • 5/5 Corey 1 year ago on Google
    It’s tucked inside a hotel so you have to look for it. It was totally packed, but bartenders are quick to give service and were nice! Decent drink prices and the drinks were made well. My friends and I had a fun time listening and singing with the crowd during karaoke!

  • 5/5 Rohan M. 1 year ago on Google
    Returned to WC's to find they've moved and upgraded the space. Music wasn't uncomfortably loud, which was a plus. Wireless mics and multiple screens means you can sing from wherever. LGBTQ-friendly/-forward. Bartenders are friendly, and call out song names only, not singers' names, which can sometimes lead to mic-hogging. Single all-gender bathrooms. The bar has some bottlenecks which lead to clustering but otherwise, fairly easy to spread out. Songs are a dollar each, and can be added to your tab, which is awesome. A must-visit for karaoke lovers in Waikiki. YOU SING MEOW!

  • 5/5 Azad A. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely little bar. It's tucked inside of a hotel so it might be easy to miss but the drinks are delicious and the bartenders are fun & personable, very welcoming vibe. They recently refreshed their drink menu and it's all very tasty. It wasn't super busy but I did go early and heard it gets busier after 9 pm. Would definitely go back!

  • 5/5 armando a. 2 years ago on Google
    Super fun karaoke bar, you'll hear beautiful voices performing here! Bartenders are super friendly and amazing!

  • 5/5 Debbyll B. 2 years ago on Google
    Pleasant surprise, all patrons even bartenders are professional karaoke singers! Great drinks, great folks! Looking forward to seeing you Again during my visit. Aloha!🌺

  • 5/5 spykamjam 2 years ago on Google
    First time in Hawaii from Australia/New Zealand. Great drinks and Jelly shots! Fantastic Fun! Cant wait to go back! Don't be shy, The staff are amazing!

  • 5/5 Genita H. 2 years ago on Google
    This was a fun place to go to. They are very strict though you have to have a test taken within 48 hours to get in or have to get vaccinated. Karaoke was fun but your not allowed to leave the booth to interact with the crowd. Everyone was really nice and helpful. It is nice that they have lysol wipes and mic cover for every singer.

  • 5/5 PhillycheeseYO 2 years ago on Google
    Wang Chungs is where to be. Friendly staff does have to be a little strict due to the mandates during covid so just follow the rules so they can stay open. The drinks are amazing, my go to is the old fashion. Tips: go early to secure seats, don't hog the mic, and lastly have fun. The environment is welcoming and I always felt like this was a safe space to be yourself.

  • 5/5 Brittany W. 2 years ago on Google
    Great vibe. Awesome staff. They close at 10 right now with restrictions.
