Book those karaoke rooms in advance. Lala didn't look very busy the times I drove by, so I assumed karaoke rooms would be available, but to my surprise they were all booked. It was a weekend but early. The location seems to be cursed, so I really hope this one lasts because I love the theme and really liked the one in St Pete. Overall, a nice casual spot for drinks and a decent menu. Plan your party early for the private rooms.

I've been to Lala in St Petersburg for brunch and was so excited to hear they were opening a second location in Tampa! This time, I ended up going in the evening for my friend's karaoke party. We had a BLAST! We had the largest room which we completely filled up. I wish there was more seating and air flow but you can only do so much if you want performance space too. The karaoke had plenty of songs to select from and the music was plenty loud. The only strange part was that the lyrics were facing the tv which was away from the rest of the group so the person singing ending up looking back and forth a lot. Otherwise, it was awesome! The drinks were also pretty good!

Wow! This was a great experience for a karaoke bar. Our group had an amazing birthday celebration in a private room. It was Nashville themed with good seating and tables, and a big screen with the lyrics on it. We enjoyed singing karaoke songs and had a server who attended to our needs throughout the night. They had a good variety of food but I did not try any this visit. Many of our crew tried specialty cocktails and pitchers of beer for decent prices. Overall, I was impressed by this place and the cute rooms with fun decor available to rent out for private karaoke parties.

My sister and I didn't want the night to end so we were already around the Tampa Bay Area and I knew of this place because I want to celebrate my birthday here. We came here to lounge and check out the place for the first time. They have valet parking which was $7. The seating wait was so quick and we got to sit close to open mic night area they were having. It was such a fun and positive experience everyone singing on open mic night. My sister and I weren't too hungry so we got something small and shared it. Our server was very attentive throughout our time there even with all the loud music. I definitely will return and book one of there karaoke rooms for my birthday !

I went for a team-building activity to the Studio 54 room and had an amazing time! The room has really fun decorations and also has games you can warm up the vibe to sing. They have a great variety of songs that you can play and the food and beverage menu is pretty diverse. I am already planning on coming back for a friend's birthday!

Last Thursday my friend celebrated her birthday at Lala and it was such a great experience. We were at the Moulin Rouge Room. Just imagine a group of friends sipping delicious cocktails, eating, and singing Karaoke in a beautiful room, simply the perfect way to celebrate a birthday. The service was excellent, and everything we ate was great as per the group. I only had a side of mac and cheese and the Lala martini and I enjoyed both. I need to come back for regular dinner.

We had such a fun night at Lala Tampa! Our server was quick and accurate with our drinks. We sang our hearts out in the reggae room. Our lungs too! It was so fun. Lighting and decor was a vibe. Bathrooms were clean, although the trash was completely overfilled. The music selection and ease of use was seamless. We'd never been before and figured out the user friendly app immediately. Will definitely return with all our friends!!

I ATE HERE AND IT CAUSED ME TO GO TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM. THEY DO NOT KNOW ABOUT ALLERGIES!!!!!! AVOID IF YOU HAVE AN ALLERGY. I have a SEVERE allergy to PEANUTS AND TREE NUTS. This is not a comprehensive play by play, but here is how it went. I told the server about my allergy (multiple times) and asked him to tell the kitchen to make sure my food was safe. A few bites into my entree, I start to have difficulty breathing and a scratchy throat. I told the waiter this and he said he would go check with kitchen. After talking to the hostess for a couple minutes and typing on his cell phone, he eventually came to tell me that the food I was served had almonds in the sauce. I immediately had to use my epi pen, I had already taken benadryl at that point. My friend took me to the ER where I am still at. THE SERVER DID NOT KNOW THAT ALMONDS WERE A TREE NUT! HOW DO YOU NOT TRAIN YOUR STAFF ABOUT FOOD ALLERGIES? I will be in contact with the manager, Kai, as I spoke with him while I was waiting for my friend to take me to the ER. They offered to pay the ED bill and they paid for our full meal. However, this does not make up for putting my life in danger. This is a gross display of incompetence and negligence on the establishment and I hope this serves as a warning to those with anaphylactic food allergies- DO NOT GO HERE!

We came after dinner just to hang out and sing, and having our own private room made it feel super fun and relaxed.

I love karaoke. LOVE! Walking around Ybor after dinner at the Columbia, as we were heading back to…read moreour vehicle, I heard karaoke being sung. It took me all of 10 seconds to decide if i wanted to belt out a tune while i was in Florida. It was pretty empty inside, so i figured ..WHY NOT!? The bouncer checked my ID (thanks for makin an old gal feel young ;) and I stepped inside. The karaoke host was pretty friendly when i asked about song selection/books. So I put my song in and was next up! The sound system was awesome and my friend said i sounded great. To be honest, I thought I sounded pretty great too! :D ;P I sang my song and we left. We were there pretty early in the evening, so I'm sure this place gets packed. But next time I'm in the tampa/ybor area and feel like singing again, I'll stop back in!

-Terrible experience. -A shot and a drink are the same…read moreprice?. Green tea which doesn't consist of top shelf liquor so that really shocked me. -DJ Lance let multiple people sing songs for Karaoke night but when I asked, he told me that he only had time for two more songs while rolling his eyes since it was last call. I walked away from the DJ booth and he made an announcement, played a song for 1 minute then let someone else come up to sing: he then called two more people for karaoke after he had just stated that he was only playing two more songs. Which is a total of 3 songs.I'm not sure why he gave other patrons the opportunity to participate and not me but definitely not a good first experience for a place I've never been to. And we came to celebrate my friends birthday so she was also disappointed.

Date of Visit: 11/08/2025 5:30pm…read more After some shopping at the mall the wife and I were wanting to grab a beer somewhere. As we were heading out the parking I mentioned CJ's across the street. We have never been there before but friends of ours do play there once in while. So that's where we headed. As others have stated there is plenty of parking, in the main lot and in back. We parked in the main lot. Walked inside an immediately notice this was a place for music. No bands were playing since it was early. Found a spot at the bar, may have been ten others sitting at the bar. There was only one bar tender working the bar and she was working it. She came and saw us right after sitting and got our drink orders. Not sure if we wanted to eat but we still looked over the menu. We decided to get some food. I noticed they do a smashburger and I am always up for a that. The wife has been watching what she eats and decided on the chicken strips. The food didn't take long to arrive and both looked very good. My burger was done right, double cheesesmash with LTO just the way I like it. I got fries with it as well and I must say these were some mighty good fries. My wife really liked her chicken strips too. They were not battered and not overly fried, still very moist on the inside. She has been trying to stay away from overly fried foods and these were not overly done. I believe she ate them all as well. Since it was early there were no seating issues like I have read from others. And if your a car person they do a last Sunday of the month breakfast buffet and car show in the morning. Looking forward to that. All I can say is give this place a try. May have to go in the evening and listen to some live music. Peace.

Miss the old Cj's on the island before it was torn down. I think we all miss it. This location is…read morekind of ok. Not great but worth going to. Really isnt the sale being off the beaxh. The music is ok sometimes here. The waiters and waitresses are always on point here perfect though I can say that much. Wont go here as much as the island but will still pop in once in awhile
