We love karaoke! This is a totally different experience than any karaoke bar you've been to. The rotation is speedy quick, drinks are reasonably priced and there is a group participation vibe as other bar patrons will dance and sing along with you. The bar staff is friendly and vocally talented. We have already reserved a private karaoke room for a get-together of friends who love to sing. Can't wait to hit this place again and rock it out! read more

Kansas City, MO gets turnt on Saturday nights and this is the place to be. We popped on over to this place after visiting Ernie Bigg's and were pleasantly surprised to see how boisterous and fun it already was at 9PM on a Saturday night (because nothing gets poppin' in NYC until at least 10:30PM). The music was excellent, and there was a huge dance floor. If you retreat further in, you'll find the karaoke lounge. People are so hype here, ready to sing or rap their hearts out, and the bartenders are fast and efficient and make some wicked good whiskey sours. They have a great song selection in the lounge and plenty of space for you to dance and do your thing. My only complaint is that the DJ will take money from you to bump up your song on the list, which is #insidiouscapitalismatwork but also that means if you give $2 and someone else gives $5, their song gets bumped up before yours... I don't know how I feel about that. But it's lit if you just want to enjoy yourself and watch other people get drunk, rowdy, and sing maybe a little off-key. read more

We reserved a room for a group birthday party where we were had a blast until the end of our experience where we had to deal with an unorganized inexperienced staff and a manager who called the cops on us and escorted us out after we had spent over 1,000 in room/bottle service. Horrible experience, will never go back. I will count the days until this places closes. You have no idea who anyone is in this town and it's unfortunate to see a potential thriving concept fail because of poor service. F A I L read more

This is like the most unprofessional, and racist spot I've been to. First off I went there with my gf, my brother, his wife and 2 of her friends on a Saturday evening at 7:00 pm. When my party got there it wasnt much going on so we left, in the process we ended up coming back later, once the crowd picked up, and it was live. We got to the door, and it was a muscle head bouncer at the door. So my girl, and my brother's wife friends forgot to get stamped, we noticed after we left. So My gf and i came back, my brother, his wife and her friends were on their way. So the bouncer said we could not get in because we were not stamped, which was understandable. However, once my brother, his wife and her friends came we tried to remind the bouncer of our party and told him we came earlier so my brother's wife showed him the stamp, he said it wasnt theres and that we stamped it on ourselves. But he paused and looked at my sister in laws friends who were caucassian and said he rememberd them. But for the rest of us to leave and never come back. After my brother's wife friend spoke with the other bouncer to persuade him into allowing us to come in he finally let us. At this point in time because of the disgust we felt we ended up leaving early. read more

0 rating. We made a reservation there and had an email confirmation. The manager then proceeded to argue with us, when we just asking what we could have done differently. He read our confirmation email, got mad and threw our phone at us. He proceeded to say, " Fuck you, I don't want your business, get the fuck out." Terrible management. Plus they check every one for a gun when you enter the building. They check girls purses and make guys lift up there shirt to check your waist and. There have been 2 shootings outside there bar in the past 6 months read more

We had our all staff party for the year here and the venue and staff were great! Selection via the mobile app was huge and easy to use. My staff swore they wouldn't sing karaoke, but I'll tell you that after two or three people got up (and a few had two or three drinks) that everyone was up and singing. We literally had to drag people out 1 1/2 hours after we were supposed to end our party because they were having so much fun that night. Thanks to Phillip and his staff for such a great night! read more

I've found a new stomping ground. This place is amazing. Fantastic song selection and great atmosphere. I love it here.

Is it legal to charge more for guys than girls? Fun place but you charge like a fraternity house.

OffKey is an awesome venue in Westport! I came in early to find the staff starting the party off themselves signing. The staff was warm, and welcoming. drinks were tasty, and the sound was amazing. We got approached at the art fair where the staff was out promoting., and I could not be more happy we went!!!! Looks like we just found our new hang out! read more

I am visiting from Oregon and my daughter suggested going to Offkey. We got there and everyone was so friendly. We sang a few song, listened to some amazing singers, and had a blast. We had the honor of meeting on of the owners, Phil. He showed us the private karaoke room and we hung out for a while. The set up is great for small to large groups. I can't wait for my next visit to KC and Offkey again! read more

Had my birthday party here last night, and wanted to extend my thank you to the ENTIRE staff at OffKey! It was an amazing evening, and couldn't have asked for anything better! Our servers, Rachel and Heather were AWESOME!! Fast, accurate service and no guests of the party were left waiting, very impressive for a busy Friday night! This will be a night that I will not forget, thank you Off Key KC​ for making my birthday one to put in the books! I will definitely be back with my friends, and will send people your way for their future special events! Cannot wait to go back! Five stars in every category! read more

I love Karaoke. When I heard a Karaoke lounge was being built in Westport I was very excited. I've been to other cities where Karaoke is a big deal, like having a huge stage or a real band to back you up so I was eager to see what KC was gonna bang out with. I've visited twice now, and frankly there are still better places in town to get Karaoke. The sound is flat and there is no DJ. The bartender is running the equipment which sucks because it takes away their attention from running the show properly and servicing guests. There are still issues with songs and I think it should of been handled more professionally. There is no rotation. If you put three songs in at one time, you sing three times in a row. That means that the sloppy drunk girl who butchered through a Britney Spears song, she gets to sing it, three. more. times. The drink menu is reasonably priced. Out of the three cocktails I tried I really only liked one of them. It was a whiskey and root beer mix. Their sake bomb disappointed me, I'v known those to traditionally be served with a Japanese beer but this one was red bull and I don't like that. Screens are only above the bar, so its like your singing to a bunch of turned backs rather than everyone watching you. On the second time I was there, there were two huge parties seated in the bar area rather than renting one of the many empty private suites and seating was extremely limited. I understand that the rooms are charged, But how much better would it be to just show them to a suite and add a gratuity for the server. at least then the employees would have something to do and the bar would be freed up. We were there for nearly three hours and not a single suite got used. Both times I went there was not a cover charge. read more

Nice place and fun to hangout at but found management to be difficult and unprofessional

This place is awesome!!! We went in only because we walked by and noticed it was new. This was during the art festival. We then got approached by staff members handing out free shot tix. So....why not? Right? We went in when they opened, and the hostess was very informative about the concept and even let us look at the private rooms. We then took our seats at a table and ordered our shots, which are all priced at $8. We decided to order food which is shared with the next door beer market. We had the #1 &2. Both salads and they were freakin' awesome! Both at $9. The GF cornbread is delish. We decided to have a few more drinks(specials) which are all priced at $9 and again, can't complain (the wells are around $3-9). All the while, service was great. Very attentive and nice. The music, screens, and even how to reserve your place in line for a song is great. You can either give your slip to your server or go to singoffkey.com and do it that way right at your table!! . I hope this place makes it because i can see being a regular. read more

This place is cool in that you can get a private karaoke room and so don't have to sit around and listen to other people's bad drunken karaoke. The private rooms are absolutely worth it. However- on the weekends the place is CRAZY. I mean, even for Westport- this place is a Sh** show on Saturday night. Probably the most crazy ridiculous place in Westport. Also, if you need a little alcohol to make you ok to sing in front of people- this place absolutely waters down all of their drinks and their liquor. Even if you get a shot- I'm absolutely sure they have watered down either the bottles or they do it when they're making the shot. The shots, by the way, are TINY. So, my tolerance is fairly low. After two drinks I'm very done. I had a drink before I left home. At Off-Key I had one vodka soda and TWO shots of tequila and...... ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. They are absolutely, 100% selling you watered down alcohol and not at cheap prices either. So, drink somewhere else or just know you're going to get a bunch of super weak drinks at Westport prices. Pretty lame of them to do this but- people still go here so I'm sure they couldn't care less. You don't need alcohol to have fun with your friends in a private karaoke room though, right..... read more

First and last time . Waiter vanished within an hour after arriving. It is a Saturday night, large crowd hire more people. Finally grabbed the manager and asked the whereabouts of my waiter cause I wanted to leave and many people were drunk. I guess the bartenders and wait staff don't keep tabs on there customers. Watched a lot of people stumbling. Surprised how small the area is for karoke singing. After a while the place got congested quickly. But the sticker shock: the bill for two cosmos $24.00 . I asked another waitress if that was correct. She said yeah they were Pearls meaning premium. Back in the day when I waited tables, you ask what liquor not assume. Plus the tip was added. Not impressed ran out of tables lots of standing for people who arrived later. Will not be back. Poor service and too high prices. It wasn't listed on the menu like that. Lots of college kids who were tone deaf. Won't be back. read more

I went to Off Key last night for the first and last time. This venue is exactly as described, a lounge bar. There is no stage. There is very little room to dance. The screens are on the wall behind the bar, so you see the singers back sides, or you don't see them at all if they're mixed in the crowd. There is no rotation. My group of very talented singers arrived very early in the evening, around 8pm and gave their song requests to the bar tenders. We got to hear the bar tenders sing 6-7 songs in a row. They are excellent singers, but my group wanted to sing also! Then a patron sang next and she sang 5 songs in a row. After being there about an hour and a half and only hearing 3-4 different singers, I approached the bar tender. I said this lady singing has sung 5 times tonight and he agreed. I said I have sung zero times and he agreed. I said that's not typically how a karaoke rotation works and he shrugged his shoulders. So I told him my group of 15 friends were going to go to a different karaoke venue so we can sing and he shrugged his shoulders again. Needless to say, we went elsewhere and had a great time singing. Their inexperienced staff has a lot to learn about customer service. This may be an OK venue if you want to hide in the crowd while singing or are having a private party, but if you enjoy performing in front of people, this is not the place for you. read more

I utterly suck at karaoke, but that didn't stop me from having fun at Matt's farewell party. I had never done public karaoke before -- true story! -- only goofing around at the parties of friends with karaoke machines & the like. Getting up on a stage was way too intimidating for my mediocre singing skills. But the setup here is a lot less anxiety-producing -- at the bar, they hand you the mike, and you sing from where you are, and get your friends to join in if you're struggling. Drink specials helped too -- I had a couple more sake bombs than I usually would drink, so the liquid courage was flowing. I had a blast! I'd love to come back & rent a private room for a girl's night out party, too, it seems like it would be a great way to spend a couple goofy, boozy hours. Huge song list to choose from. The staff was helpful & friendly, and everyone seemed to be having a great time. Fun!! read more

"Meh, I've experienced better" is the overall most honest phrase I would use in describing Off Key Karaoke Bar. Sure, I like the 'new-ness' of the place but I found it uncomfortable sitting bar-side since the bar top itself is illuminated and shifts colors. My eyes felt like they were constantly having to refocus as I'm staring at my date. Staff is friendly but not the most attentive when ordering, you will wait more than likely. The actual place itself is on the smaller size, but they do have a number of private rooms sectioned off for booking. The overall energy of the place needs some work and I don't think staff is to blame. I mean, it is a karaoke bar--someone has to sing whether it's staff or patron! The night I popped in, I think maybe only two songs were actually sang by customers during the hour I was here. Props to the staff though, I would probably drive home in silence every night I left work. read more

Awesome place for a private party. Rent a room, invite your friends. Sing all night. Had our own bartender. Awesome staff. Effin blast!
