Came here for karaoke on a Thursday night. The guy at the front desk was very nice and even gave us…read moreextra minutes, which we appreciated. There's also a large parking lot out front, so parking was easy and convenient. The rooms themselves were decent, but the karaoke setup definitely felt outdated and was harder to use than expected. There were two ways to select songs: using the Korean karaoke system or a Samsung tablet connected to YouTube. We ended up using YouTube, but the system was frustrating to navigate. The tablet had a thick film over the screen that made clicking difficult, and searching songs had to be extremely specific for karaoke vibes (for example, typing "Love Story KTV" instead of just the song name). It was also inconvenient trying to queue songs while someone else was singing because you had to minimize the current video to search the next one, making it hard for the person singing to follow the lyrics. On top of that, every time we tried adding songs to the queue, it would accidentally click into another video and cut off the current song mid performance. A lot of time was wasted just trying to search and add songs. It would be better if they allowed Bluetooth connection to personal devices instead, so adding songs would be more efficient, just a thought...

Volume Up is a place of LEGEND in Edgewater. It's been around for years - it's a cult favorite to…read morethe locals, and yet I've never experienced it until a few weeks ago. I suppose I am in the minority but...this is the most basic, bare-bones karaoke experience you can have! I'm saying this after going to luxury karaoke establishments (see my review for Tokyo Kitty in Cincinnati) and doing karaoke at bars for years. This establishment provides you with a room (a different size depending on your party), a mic, and a tablet with Youtube. The place has no ambience whatsoever. It is not just BYOB, it's BYOE - as it, BRING YOUR OWN EVERYTHING! You literally bring everything yourself - both food and drinks! To me, that is where Volume Up is really missing out, not just on the experience of the people, but also revenue. I can understand it being a BYOB to cut down on costs, but to offer no food at all? They have some canned / bottled drinks and snacks, and that's it. You can get delivery to this place but that adds an extra to your evening, and if you come here hungry you're SOL! (I would even take the reverse and order drinks here and bring snacks.) We were here with a party of about 12 people. The room was a little tight for us, but it suited us just fine - the next room up would have been a little more money. They have one AC unit for the room and TBH it got incredibly hot after drunk singing for two hours. Also, as I mentioned, the karaoke was literally a tablet connected to Youtube - and if you moved the table off of its holder, the cast disconnected and you had to get the desk worker. It's a cheap night out with friends! We had fun, the prices were fair, but if I were to go somewhere to get my karaoke fix, this wouldn't be the first place I would pick.

They provide you microphones, and an iPad where you can search and queue your songs! The lyrics will pop up on a TV screen and your voice will carry beautifully through their speaker system! The staff was very sweet from the moment we arrive to the moment we left, they deliver your orders to your room but just as a heads up if you have a personal water bottle, they will have you leave it at the front and will give you a ticket number to pick it up before you leave. Would definitely come here again on my next trip!

The two best qualities are the reasonable prices and the music volume. It was nice to converse with new friends over drinks and bad singing. 10/24

First, there is a record store on the first and second level, with tons of inventory from across the decades. I spent most of my time in the sorta-speakeasy-ish bar. Dark, retro. Drinks are pretty basic, but they have fun themes that go along with their karaoke setups. Bartenders were super nice and fun to talk to. The best part is I hit happy hour at just the right time and all my drinks were half price! They have a TON of karaoke rooms that you can rent out singularly or as a group. Prices vary, but you can hit karaoke happy hour and rent out a short time for yourself if you're just wanting to have some fun solo. Themes include superheroes, jazz, sunset blvd, the playboy room, adult movies of the 70s. There is something for everyone. It's off Times Square in midtown, so I don't hit this neighborhood often, but if you're in the area for a show, a great spot to grab a drink and kill some time before or after.

We tried the frozen margarita as well... that was fantastic. Not too sweet and very refreshing for a summer day. The straw given was fun. The shrimp tacos were delicious and it came with 5!!! I wish I had a better word for delicious maybe mouth watering. Really this spot was so great. My friend ordered the crispy chicken sandwich and the first words she said after taking a bite were "omg" she said it was so crispy so good. 10/10 for that sandwich. It was trivia night here.

Although they had tables out front, loved the inside! While crowded at the bar and adjacent tables, we found seating for ourselves in the mezzanine overlooking the place - a great spot to have a conversation and reconnect! The bartender was friendly. The beer and cider selection is wide, including more specialty beverages with zero alcohol, CBD, and THC. And if conversation requires a stimuli, you're surrounded by branded ephemera (like Burger King and Ronald McDonald painted busts), TVs, artwork filling the place from floor to rafters. Will definitely return to Broadway Dive!

We had an absolute blast from the moment we stepped inside. The whole experience--from the warm welcome at the door to the high-energy live music--was 10/10. The Food Experience: Truly Next Level The food here isn't just "bar snacks"--it's a full-on culinary experience. We tried several dishes and honestly, every single one was a hit: * Grandma's Sunday Sauce: This was the star of the show. It's pure comfort in a bowl and tastes like it's been simmering for days. * The Bacon: You can't go wrong here. It's perfectly prepared, smoky, and dangerously addictive. * The Burrata: So fresh and creamy--the perfect way to start the meal. * Crispy Shrimp: These had the perfect crunch and were packed with flavor. The Vibes & Service The host set the tone right away with a great welcome, and the service throughout the night was seamless. It's rare to find a spot that balances a sophisticated "speakeasy" atmosphere with such friendly, attentive staff. And of course, the music! The live band was electric and kept the energy high all night long. The "Roaring 20s" vibe is so well-done--it feels intimate but exciting at the same time. Final Verdict I would definitely suggest Prohibition to everyone! Whether you're a local or just visiting the city, this is the spot for great food, amazing service, and a vibe you won't find anywhere else. We'll definitely be back for more!
