    I came here with a college club/group of friends and I had so much fun, the song selection was great and had a lot of different genres as well as a lot of different artists too even artists that you wouldn’t think they would have they had. I would definitely go here again the atmosphere here was great.

    Visited the karaoke DUET 53 with a group of friends, get your own private room and a large selection of songs to choose from. Bar within the place which is handy. Was a great fun experience and a great ice breaker for the start of a good night. After a few drinks of course

    I enjoyed karaoke here, but just be aware that this establishment charges you sales tax for the subtotal including auto gratuity (for parties of 6 or more). In other words, it’s not the subtotal that’s being taxed, it’s the subtotal + auto gratuity that’s being taxed in the end. That said, the service is great but the interior atmosphere is a bit plain. No ambient lighting and no tambourines. If you just come for a no-frills karaoke session, you’ll be good to go. I really liked the fact that we didn’t have to buy a drink minimum, though. I would come again for the service but the room decor could use some work.

    We had a great time (song selection, and room size) until the end when the bouncer accused our group of smoking in the room, when we didn’t. We also were the last group in the place, and when we tried to leave, they kept yelling at us to leave when we were already on the way out. They also said don’t come back, when we were trying to defend ourselves for not smoking in the room. So yeah, we don’t want to come back anyway. It’s so disappointing because we liked the place, but not if they treat customers like that.

    Looking for a simple night out with friends or family? This is one spot you should keep on you list. Loved the private guest rooms, and the food and drinks served directly to our room. A bit pricy but a great escape from the city

    One downside if you plan on ordering cocktails: they are full of ice and don’t contain much alcohol - I’d suggest drinking beforehand. Overall, it was such a fun experience getting a private room. Even our shy friends got the courage to sing! There is a very diverse list of songs available (including different languages) which was fun for our group. The staff was courteous and we had no issues. The group before our reservation finished 15 minutes late, so they extended our time to make up for it, which we appreciated. I would definitely recommend going with a group of friends and will probably come back to this place in the future.

    Good service, and they provide free water the entire night. Good song selection too, my friends and I were able to find lots of songs we enjoyed, that are on the more alternative side. Reasonable prices, I think it was something like 20-25$/hr, which is not bad at all

    Such a fun place!!! Super low cost and cheap hourly rates. We walked in on a Sunday evening. Cocktails were fantastic and there was a large song selection.

    It’s a pretty standard and basic Karaoke Bar. It’s not particularly inclusive with their song selections. They do have international artists and songs but they’re not updated with recent charts. The staff are very nice, helpful and quick with orders. They provide utensils since you can bring outside food. Their drinks, however, are extremely watered down. The facilities and rooms are clean (a bit weathered) but again, pretty basic. I prefer the karaoke bars in K-Town.

    Had a business Holiday party here and enjoy it a ton! Great spot! Room was big enough for our startup to just our staff. Not the cleanest, and can feel dicey when you head out to the bar. But can't beat the location!

    If you are on a budget and just want to get drunk and have a good time, 5 stars. The location is great, the place is clean, and the bar tender is very generous with your drinks. BUT If you actually want to enjoy Karaoke and have a good time singing, maybe this isn't the place to go: the quality of their sound system is rather poor, their database is dated with limited selection, and the karaoke music videos are weird--there seem to be a fixed number of videos that they rotate for all songs...

    One of the better karaoke venues I've been to in the city. Comfy rooms, speedy drinks service, very easy to use karaoke system, great song library.

    My group of friends and I didn't enjoy this place as much because the service was not up to part. The music should be updated so that more people can enjoy the recent songs. Not back in the days hits

    I absolutely love this place. It was an amazing experience and i loved it. This place allows you to bring food to your private karaoke room which is not bad since i think they only serve drinks. Also when searching through the tablet for songs, you will have some difficult time searching up specific songs and there are some tricks to searching and finding the songs, but you'll get the hang of it.

    Came here visiting from California with a few friends and family and this place was absolutely great!We were not aware that you need a reservation for this kind of place but The staff were extremely nice and the bouncer was super helpful with getting us a room last minute !! if you’re looking for a place with respectful staff and cleanliness space with private rooms this is it! Also the music here is a bit outdated could definitely use an update on some more artist and songs..Lastly you can’t bring outside drinks in even water that’s un opened witch is kind of ridiculous but still I give it a 4/5 definitely would recommend!!
