Not really a place to eat inasmuch as a place to just hang out, have drinks and - most importantly…read more- sing your heart out in karaoke no matter your skill level! My friends and I came here on a Wednesday night around 8pm and basically spent all of our time out in the front where the bar is since that's where open karaoke is. To queue songs to sing, you need to use a website called Healsonic to search for the song titles or artist names (you get to it using a QR code). You write down your initials, the song number of the song you want to sing and the song title, then pass it to someone behind the counter to the immediate left of the entrance. Song choices are not limited to just songs in English; you can choose songs from a variety of languages, and I got a chance to sing one of my favorite Cantonese oldies at one point. From past experiences singing karaoke here, there's always at least one mic out of the two passed around the crowd that isn't working properly and I end up singing louder than needed on that one mic. Regardless, my friends and I have always had a great time laughing, testing our vocals and just enjoying ourselves as if we were clubbing! I haven't yet been to any of their karaoke rooms, though I do hear prices for them are relatively high from others who've used them. One of my friends and I got their My Melody drink, which consists of coconut cream, pineapple and a pink sugar rim. Drink tasted kinda cheesy... literally. Must have been the cream but I downed the drink fast; it was refreshing for the environment (though a little heavy on the vocal cords) and not too sweet. It is on the pricier end, about $8 before tax. This is a well-run place regardless of the number of people that fill up open karaoke and the karaoke rooms themselves. Staff are friendly and acommodating especially with refilling water, following up on karaoke queuing mistakes and serving drinks. I see myself and my friends coming back here more often!

The drinks are delicious, just keep in mind the high gratuity that will be included. The only down side is that the rooms are not sound proof so you can hear everyone singing from the hallways.

So, as we came in, on a Saturday, obviously it was very busy. Understandable. We went next door…read moreabout 8pm to look at Vgames. I walked over , it looked like fun! I asked the prices super casually, I'm from out of town. The lady, and guy was kind. And I took a picture of the "menu" The prices seemed great; I was told by the guy there that they charge by the group. Nice. Next night, - Sunday. I called in and we were able to walk in within 20 mins, but to my surprise I was charged by the hour. Although the night before when I looked at the list I wasn't told it was by the hour, and it was by the group that I was told the night before...So, idk not sure what was happening when I was told that?.... But as we came Sunday night, The gentlemen said, we charge $$ by the hour on a weekend. (It was a Sunday @ 9pm) which was fine. But my problem was, Let me know if it's by the hour or group?? I was confused. He was very kind and very respectful and very receptive. I was absolutely grateful and appreciative from his kindness. But the bathrooms were absolutely disgusting, terrible... what would you call it? The door knobs were sideways, there were no paper towels, I don't mind hovering.., that's part of the night life. But what is this. The karaoke, itself, mics were cool, but the tablet was either super sensitive or you had to reset..., 10,000 times to get a song. Overall, come here for a last minute thing, but don't expect an amazing time. Singing at home with friends is a better experience and much cheaper.

It's not a secret bar, but it has an unassuming look that I like and can be easily overlooked. Their tagline is "your favorite neighborhood art bar" which is appropriate as the bar is filled with art and decor that gets your attention. Much of the art is for sale, but definitely for someone who has a strong love for it and or deep pockets. The bar has been around since 2005 with an aim to build in the eyes of patrons for patrons. There is a fairly extensive menu of cocktails that carry a pricey tag, but are good. I simply opted for a couple Tom Collins, and it was excellent. Had me walking back kinda sideways. Definitely a gem of a drinking spot, perfect place to close out a night.

I had a really disappointing experience at Crescent Lounge…read more I was asked to leave after talking with two other patrons, which is fine--bars can make that call. However, during the process, the staff member at the door grabbed my arm hard enough to leave visible bruising. What made this worse is that when I followed up with management, I was told a different version of events that didn't reflect what actually happened. There was no acknowledgment of the physical force used, despite the injury. I tried to handle this privately first and gave the business time to review their security footage, but the response I received was dismissive. I'm sharing this so others are aware. I hope Crescent Lounge takes a closer look at how situations like this are handled in the future.

It was the KJ and I was told that I was insulting their coworkers by saying so. Anyone with ears that work would have walked away. Glad they're living their best fantasy. Maybe let a customer sing first before literally clearing the room and then kicking people out for having ears and tone Never thought I would recommend that place that moved in up the street until now for karaoke Aloha means goodbye

Spent an hour here recently for karaoke with one other person…read more Pros: - We had an OK time - Staff showed us how to operate the remote (after our time had started, of course) Cons: - $30ish for 2 people for 1 hour. - Could hear both rooms next to us singing. - There were 4 speakers in our room but only 1 was actually working. The other three didn't put out sound. - English song list is very lacking. - Popular songs are not updated frequently. We ended up going to a small local bar, which was ALSO doing Karaoke that night, and they had more recent songs than the dedicated karaoke store. That was really disappointing.

On Fri-Sun from 7-9 is open mic comedy; karaoke from 9-1am. Come on a Thursday for live music. Parking sucked. We were two blocks away before we found a spot. So happens we caught the comedy show and there are some very funny up and comers in Seattle. Fair warning: it gets a bit raunchy and personal. However, the regulars seem to really dig this. We did get our chance to sing and it was a bit wild, in a good way. Great singers/horrible singers, most importantly, a supportive crowd. Pro Tip: Show up early and get your request for karaoke in. It started getting busy about an hour in, then you're looking at a long wait. The drinks are well made and not too expensive. The food is surprisingly good. A friendly bartender also helped make for a fun night!

The tablets for entering your info and song run terribly slow. Bathrooms are clean and well-stocked, though not labeled well--women's restroom is straight down the hall, men's is to the right just after the photo booth. Unless they're meant to be unisex, but I don't think that's the case? This place is PACKED wall to wall after 8pm Fridays and Saturdays, and I've never dropped in those nights where it wasn't an upbeat and pretty cheery vibe. When I say packed, I mean that you should wear an outfit where you can take off layers, because it gets WARM. On the weekends the song queues can get LONG but you're able to manually check where you're at in line via the tablets. If you wanna leave before 12am, get there and put your song in no later than 8pm. Expect a $5 cover on weekends, too, though sometimes it's $10. Which is crazy. And yet, I still pay it... People are super nice and if you aren't bringing a posse out with you, a lot of folks don't mind you sitting with them at their tables if it's busy and they have an extra seat open. A lot of times people will get down by the stage and dance to songs people are performing, which is just the best when it happens. All in all, the Hula Hula crowd tends to have a great mindset for karaoke. All about having a good time to good music.

We had 12 people in our group and were given a spacious room for our time there. There is a tablet affixed to the wall that you use to search and queue up songs. I was impressed with the selection as there were many popular English, Korean, Japanese, Mandarin, Cantonese songs and even more in other languages. There was also a QR code that would come up on the screen occasionally that took you to a page on your phone that also allowed you to search for and queue up songs. The tablet is also used to control lights, mic volume, song volume, echo effects, and toggle vocals on/off. There are some pre-built playlists by genre or artists but you can also just use the search function. I was particularly impressed that the on-screen keyboard had a pad you could use to write out the letters/characters of a song you are looking for (useful for searching for some Asian songs). Although they didn't have every single song we searched for, there were more than enough top hits to keep us all entertained and happy for the 2 hours we were there. They charge if you bring in outside food or drinks, but birthday cake is the exception! We took advantage of that and brought some cupcakes for our guest of honor. I do wish the mics had some mic covers for hygiene purposes and that there was a way to control the temperature in the room. It got a little warm throughout the night. There were no tambourines at first, but when we asked, the front gave us a pair. I highly recommend giving Enkore a try if you're looking for a chill karaoke spot. Rates are cheaper on the weekdays vs weekends.

Reserved for a friend's bday on a weekend and it wasn't so busy as I thought for a 6 pm…read morereservation. We reserved for 2 hours and debated adding another hour, but it costed to about $70. This included $1 for an outside beverage. Its honestly worth the $1 compared to their pricey menu. We were told our room would have all languages (English, Japanese, Korean), but it was only room 6 that had this option. They said to look up by artist but that didnt help much. You can look up off of Youtube for songs but you have to download the video and downloading it takes so long. We were only able to get one song off of it. Plus you cant even see the status of the download. Overall, I still recommend EnKore. The music volume and microphone volume are easily adjustable. If they have a problem, they will go into your room, but each time we temporarily raise the volume for songs we are jamming out to, we have had no problems.
