My drink was sooooo tasty!!!! We don't have a reservation so we sat at the bar, enjoyed 80s/90s music, laughed and chair shimmied. Everyone was very nice, staff included and prices weren't terrible. The door attendant is a WHOLE MOOD....gotta go back just to see him lol . read more

Sid Gold’s Request Room - Menu drink: LA BAMBA $16 Tequila, Lime, Elderflower Liqueur, Cucumber, Creole Bitters - Karaoke Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

We were in the area for a wedding rehearsal party and stumbled upon this hidden gem in the city. And as you can get a glimpse of from the video, we had a blast!! We made multiple song requests and sang our hearts out with the live piano in the background. The drinks were also good; we had a few before getting on stage (as you can also see in the video). Either way, you should grab some friends and go have a great night out at this live music karaoke bar. read more

Sid Gold’s Request Room - Scannable menu and song request - Karaoke Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

Had a decent time here during our girls trip. The drinks were good, but there was a Bachelorette party that hogged the mics the whole time so we were only able to get two or three songs in, then we were asked to leave because our reserved time block was up. They also reminded us that there was a $15 minimum spend (basically 1 drink per person) which confused us because we had some people in our group that ordered 2 drinks to cover for those that didn't want to purchase alcohol. The pianist was fun and knew a whole range of songs, from classics to new pop, so that was cool! You submit your request virtually, so you can see how far down the line you are. Overall an okay experience. read more

This place is great, aside from having a blast in the karaoke room, the bar is also killer. Our bartenders Steven and Collin were a lot of fun. read more

This is a hidden gem in Detroit, located behind The Siren Hotel. It's also our second time at this establishment. The place is super cool, the bartender 'Wolf' makes an awesome Bourbon Mule. His service and our time there was exceptional. The next time we are near the area, we will be back. read more

Overall, this place is a fun time. The bouncer does seem to have a stick up his you-know-where, and made us wait even though we had a reservation. Maybe they were cleaning the table? I don't know -- they could've definitely shared some info. on why we were waiting, but didn't. Inside, it's a fun party vibe. The piano guy does a great job at keeping the mood high and at making everyone sound like a better singer than they are. They could definitely have a better system for lyrics than the awkward scrolling on an iPad during a song, though. Service was a bit on a slow side and the wine list was honestly really bad -- a bunch of grocery store wines marked up at 300%+ over retail. They also kept reminding us about the 2-hour limit, which was tacky and annoying... "yes, we know we only have 45 minutes left" ... "yep, got it, 30 minutes"... "omg yes we know we have to leave soon!" If I was rating just the karaoke part, I'd give it 4 stars, but the rest of the staff made it a less satisfying experience. read more

Loooooooved it! We had so much fun & were amazed by the list of songs! The crowd was fun. The piano player was so talented. The service was good...and they even had a decent Chardonnay ;) I will definitely go back! read more

Sid Gold’s Request Room - Lounge - Karaoke Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

Doris approved 4.8 Sid Gold's Request Room is tucked away in an alley off John R. You wouldn't know what it was unless someone told you but it's a beautiful classy, hip, piano karaoke and lounge bar. My favorite drink here is a hot toddy believe it or not. It's fun for an after work cool thing with co worker or even better for a group friends night out. With Sid Gold's mood lighting... a perfect place for a date! Oh! parking is street or lot parking. Around tons to do within walking distance! Have fun and enjoy yourself! Highly recommend! read more

NOT SAFE FOR WOMEN My girl was here last night with a big group of her friends. After two drinks she had to be driven home, she was obviously drugged this is not something that has EVER happened. Bartender working name was Karen, brown hair, mom bod, not sure who was serving tables but BEWARE NOT SAFE FOR WOMEN read more

My friend and I had a ball at Sid Gold's! We were looking for something fun and unique to do after going to dinner nearby, and live music karaoke is right up our alley. We made a reservation even though it was a Wednesday night, and the room is pretty small so I would recommend making one. Unfortunately, ahead of our visit we received some off-putting texts detailing all the rules (like 2 hr limit) so I admittedly went into it with low expectations, however we didn't end up having any problems. Perhaps they are more strict on the weekends or we just had a good hostess - either way, I'll definitely be back for more good times! The piano player was awesome and the room felt more like a little community with everyone singing along and laughing together. My friend and I tried a few cocktails (e.g., espresso martini, Hemingway daiquiri, etc.) but they're pricey and just ok. Go instead for the music & good times! read more

Sid Gold’s Request Room - Piano & karaoke - Karaoke Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

We had reservations at 845 arrived at 830. They started at 915. The hostess, Donny, asked my aunt and uncle to leave because their "reservation had expired" at 10:30. We were altogether and one person had just been served a drink and everyone in our group hadn't done karaoke. I watched and Donny asked no one else to leave. She said the website said the reservations were for 2 hours and we had a party of 6. It was very embarrassing. The place wasn't even full. I loved the pianist. But because of Donny, I will never return here. read more

I've never felt cooler than when I was here. First thing I knew, I was enjoying a great cocktail in a tiny bar that had great style. Next thing you know, our group is being ushered into the back karaoke room where apparently EVERYONE had the talented voice of a Broadway performer. My first thought was "do I deserve to be here?" and then I just straight up enjoyed and soaked in everyone else's mad singing skills (shout out to most of the people I was with who casually stormed the stage and then brought the house down. No big deal, right? This place seriously is such a blast. The sofas were velvety, the drinks strong and the talent mighty. No one who sang was bad and it felt like attending a show that I didn't even have to pay for. It's a small room and feels intimate, so we got to congratulate other singers and really get involved and cheer for people. Definitely returning when I come back to Detroit! read more

Sid Gold’s Request Room - Cocktail - Karaoke Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

Our server was super rude and made the experience much worse for my girlfriend's birthday this last Friday. Stefan the Pianist was very charming and fun, but whoever the woman who served us was made it challenging to enjoy these things. When I asked about some confusion with tabs, she was super rude about it and tried to imply that people were sneaking over to our table and that we had too many people, despite the reservation being under my name and card. When I asked if I could pay at the bar, she told me that would be "defeat the purpose of a server" when I was just trying to figure out how I could pay for my girlfriend's drink. She was very rude again and condescending when my girlfriend asked for a water cup, and then never ended up bringing any cups. She then promptly rushed us out with little warning and cut our night short despite us continuing to tip and pay. I know this might sound like a "drunk people behavior complaint" but several people in our party had no alcohol and were still disrespected. It did a lot of damage to a really special night and I don't think we will be coming back here if this is how the staff treats their customers. read more

A great way to spend the some quality time with friends and reconnect with your vocal chords. I really love the layout of this piano karaoke bar. It's broken into two sections. The first one is a small lounge with a large u-shaped bar to sit at. The other section is the dark karaoke bar. They are both sectioned off so you can't hear what's happening in the adjacent rooms. You have to make a reservation before you can enter the karaoke section of the bar. Which I like, this keeps it from getting over crowded and so loud you can't hear the person singing. No reservation, no singy. During our visit, John was our piano player and he was awesome! Great voice, amazing on the piano and if you got lost or forgot the words, my man would step in and start singing to get you back on track. They had a special holiday cocktail list while I was where, but I stayed with my old stand by, vodka soda. Not a huge fan sugary drinks. I could see hanging out here once in a while, but I don't think this would be my weekly hang spot. But if you've never been here, you should experience it at least once. read more

Sid Gold’s Request Room - Love this sign. Look for it in the alley. - Karaoke Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

This place is overpriced trash with a horrible host/bouncer to get into the main room with live music. Came here after a wedding to get some drinks with the wedding party and they said they would set up a table after we gave them a final headcount but that never happened but he kept saying it would so we just ordered drinks at the bar while the bouncer gave us dirty looks and a hard time for inconveniencing him somehow. I honestly can't believe he's in hospitality. Will never come back here, thanks for nothing! read more

We did date night at Sid's last night. The show was $10pp and worth it. We had fun. Emil (my man) brought in a bucket of finger licking good chicken from Penny Reds across the street and I had 2 glasses of Prosecco. By the by im quite picky about bubbly and the house Prosecco was dry and not sweet. I liked it very much. The 20's are definitely back in Detroit and I couldn't be happier to be alive right now. The energy is there. It's exciting not quite as decadent as 1920 but it's a fun time. The city was happening and snow was falling. Walking into Sid's was a throw back experience. Burlesque is erotic and raunchy and I liked it. The performance turned me on, made me laugh and was engaging. Check out burlesque at Sids. Bring a date. read more

Sid Gold’s Request Room - Beautiful bar @Sid's - Karaoke Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

Atmosphere was typical for karaoke. Service in the karaoke area was decent. Bartender was awful - rude and pompous. BE CAREFUL and look at the bill - get it itemized. Both times there they added the tip automatically and said they didn't then gave me a hard time about cancelling payment. I won't be going back. read more

Absolutely amazing time in the piano karaoke room. Drinks were great and the servers were wonderful! If you want to do karaoke, make a reservation because space is limited. read more

This is probably one of the best places I've been. We came as part of an SAE conference, and the bartenders were excellent, Stefan the pianist was superb, and the atmosphere was excellent (the drinks were good too, but just finding good drinks is a lot easier than the good service provided here). This was the second year I've came here, and it was equally good each year. read more

This was everything I wanted it to be. Really. It's a beautiful speakeasy that's accessed through an alley adjacent to the Siren. The atmosphere is glamorous, vintage, and welcoming, and the drinks are well made. I was encouraged to head back to the karaoke bar and I will say it was so much fun. It's a darkened room with a lot of seating, and everyone acts like they've known each other for years. The layout is very well done. From the main bar, you don't hear the sounds from the karaoke bar, which is great as there is no noise pollution from one bar to the other. I will certainly come back, be it with a date, friends, family, or solo. This is a great place. read more

I set up a group reservation here for a night of piano karaoke for my team during a mini conference in Detroit. The downtown location was ideally located a stone's throw from our hotel and the downtown action. Note that the entrance is in an alley behind the Siren Hotel and not super easy to spot from the street. The reservation was made through their NY location (phone lines are connected) which resulted in some confusion upon our arrival at 8:30 pm. I was told on the phone during the booking that we could grab a drink in the bar before our 9pm reservation which seemed to throw off the local staff working the bar. Once there, they told us that the bar doesn't start serving until 9pm. Once inside the cozy back room where the piano and karaoke funsies reside, the fun really kicked off. Between the cool laid back pianist running the show and my team's incredible singing talents, this ended up being a super fun evening. Guests can request songs listed in their paper booklet for singing and order drinks table-side by the waitress working the room. This made for the perfect laid back Thursday night with the team. read more

Had a blast here! Came here with some coworkers for some classy karaoke, with a wonderful host - Sid at the helm of the piano. The night was a lot of fun. The server/bartender kept coming around and making sure drinks were plentiful for everyone. As a non-drinker, it would have been nice to see some mocktail options clearly advertised, but I can't complain. The talent/singing witnessed was a lot of fun and the energy was strong throughout the night on Thursday. I would definitely recommend coming here for a super fun night! read more

This was such a crazy awesome experience. Sid Gold's Request Room had the outward appearance of a small dive in an alley. When you enter, you'll see that the space is sophisticated without being pretentious. You can tell it's a trendy spot. We had a drink in the bar area before entering the performance space. Our crew had reservations for a table in the performance area. Essentially, Sid Gold's Request Room is karaoke with a live pianist. There was an impressive amount of songs that he/you can perform from the list. The pianist was great and it was an absolute blast to sing a song with him on the keys. It was easy to make eye contact for cues. This was by far the coolest "karaoke" night I have ever experience. I can't believe there aren't more reviews on this page yet. Stop what you are doing and go plan a night at Sid Gold's request room! read more

We went as a group of 20 for Karaoke. Bought bottles of Rose and Champagne which were good enough. Our waiter was kind. The manager was a bit stiff about our reservation until he saw we were running up a big enough tab... the night was unforgettably fun with the piano karaoke and it's a total gem of a little Detroit spot! Would totally go back and 10/10 recommend! read more

I thought this place was awesome - something totally new and interesting to do. It has a speakeasy vibe in the alley near The Siren Hotel. It looks like a normal bar in the front but past the black curtains is a karaoke lounge! It looks like you can reserve tables, but we just sat down. It got crowded in there by around 11 (not in a bad way because everyone has table)! There's a live piano player and people sing the words from an iPad on stage. There's more of a "show" quality to the experience vs just regular karaoke. The piano player was accepting songs off of the song list too which was cool. They have cocktails that were good, a little bit higher priced. They have normal beers and wine too. I can't wait to go back! read more

Had a great time st Sid Gold's. Wandered around after dinner at Albena, and happened to see the neon sign for this bar in the alley. I highly recommend a visit to a stellar bar and waitstaff. If you wait until nine pm Karaoke begins! Great night spot! read more

Sid Gold’s Request Room - Bar - Karaoke Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

I am a huge fan of quaint little spots for drinks and singing the night away, but this place confuses me. This is the second time we've visited and it just doesn't give me the WOW factor. Walking in the door, is the main bar area and then there is a curtain separating the small piano/karaoke room. The room has booths with tables, very limited seating. We were here for a special night out, it was a Wednesday so it wasn't too busy, and we had tickets for a show hosted in the piano room. The staff overall were fine, I would suggest more staff to take drink orders for special events. People had to wait for service and we had to track someone down to take our order. After the show, we wanted to stay for some karaoke, but the crowd was just too loud and you couldn't hear people singing, so we left to check out some other spots in the city. Sid's has great potential, if you're in the area stop in for a drink. read more

Sid Gold’s Request Room - Karaoke Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

First of all, this isn't my first time at syd golds, but this time is my first time with "Stephan" and he's an actual dick. You want to talk about having fun and singing karaoke...nope this guy judges for how much you spend and tailors the amount he puts into song based on how much you spend. We went up there thinking we were going to have fun and he made me feel more insure about singing on a stage than I 've ever been. Honestly i'm disappointed. Do better. read more

Zan is an AWESOME bartender, drinks are good and my friends and i really had a good time! we need to come back on a weekend night!

The service was so friendly and the piano player was outstanding I had an amazing time.

This was so much fun! From the outside, it's got a bit of a "hidden gem" feeling, as you enter under a neon sign in an alley. Inside, it's full on speakeasy. Super small, fashionable. The karaoke list is 'curated.' Think one or two songs each from popular artists (Billy Joel, Madonna, etc) that would translate to piano. They have the classics (Fugees) and some modern songs. The clientele was pretty white collar, many of whom looked like they'd come from work. If you're looking for an excuse to dress up, you could def do this here, though fashion ran the gamut. Talent level was way higher than your average karaoke bar-- maybe a musical theater hangout? I don't know. It was nuts. In that way, it's a bit intimidating. Drinks were tasty, but a bit expensive ($14), which I guess makes sense if groups camp out for hours. So overall, super fun, plan to drop some cash, bring your nerdy musical theater friends. read more

The drinks are pretty pricey, but good when it's busy it's really fun. The guy that plays the piano is a lot of fun and people that are contributing in karaoke. It's a fun crowd. Great time out highly recommend it especially when it's busy. read more

I really enjoy this place. It has a little bit of a speakeasy vibe. Its very laid back and casual. They are always playing good music at the bar, the staff is really cool. Our waitress even did karaoke and was AMAZING. She absolutely blew the roof off. The karaoke piano room is a lot of fun. I would recommend this to anyone looking for an easy going night with a mixed age group. read more

Went here for a night out and it was awesome. From the ambiance to the specialty drinks. My bartender, Cat, mixed up a delicious cocktail! It was so enjoyable I decided it was my signature drink for the night (something with tequila and berry something... I wish I could remeber the name but whatever it was it wasnt too sweet and went down smooth) I happened to go on a Wednesday when they were having a BURLESQUE show. It cost extra to enter the room where it is performed but money well spent! It was a great time with everyone singing at times and lots of laughs. Highly recommend checking it out and seeing if Cat can find you a signature drink to enjoy too! read more

Best Bar in Downtown Detroit hands down. Speakeasy bar with cool bar and hidden piano room in the back.

This place was a blast. Piano players was great. The place was small enough that it seemed like we were all friends. Very supportive crowd was seriously a great time. The drinks were good. Really a fun place to go. Only my second time to participate in karaoke and the intimate space made it very easy. read more

Sid Gold’s Request Room - Karaoke starts at 9pm! - Karaoke Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

Nice enough place and the piano player is very good. However it gets three stars for two reasons: 1. Confusing request forms. Seems silly but when enough people get it wrong that the piano player needs to make an announcement about it you know it's bad. And forms because they have two of them: one if you want him to sing and the other if you want to sing. This isn't obvious as the place is very dimly lit and you need the flashlight on your phone to read anything you're given. 2. After cashing out we were still sitting in our seats and visiting when a staff member walked up to us and told us we had three minutes left at the table. Table reservations are recommended as it's a small place and that's what we did but I've never heard of any place kicking a party out and opening the table up once the party cashes out. For all they know we could have ordered more drinks. So a pro tip if you go here: don't cash out until you're ready to leave. Otherwise they'll give you're table away and kick you out. read more

Stopped in on a whim and was able to be seated in the piano bar room and had the best time ever. Already begging my friends to go back!

Another must do in Detroit! We happen to be able to get a couple of seats in the piano/karaoke room! What could be better than karaoking with a live piano! Drinks were great and service was spot on. Very cool atmosphere! Fun for a date or a big group. read more

Although, I really enjoy Sid Gold's I have a hard time recommending or even wanting to go to this place due to the rude host and poor management I experienced. Having a reservation for 10 people I went to the host and checked in, the host then made a pass at me and when I told him I wasn't interested he had us wait 30 minutes past our reservation to then sit us at a table for 4 people we asked him why we didn't have a table for 10 people since that was the number in our reservation and he stated "because I don't know how many drinks are going to order I can't give you a bigger table" we said even though they have a drink minimum that should not factor into the fact that we had a 10 person reservation and were sat at a 4 person table. He said I'll get back to us in 10 minutes and then disappeared for a good hour. In addition he would not let our friend back in the room after going to the bathroom unless he purchased a drink from the outside bar claiming he "needed to ensure that we hit our two drink minimum per person". Lastly, when my friend went to go talk to him because he still had not given us a big enough table for our reservation and he told her he couldn't talk to her because he was in the process of booking a flight to Florida and she would have to come back. The service that he provided was absolutely ridiculous and unprofessional. If a establishment is going to require a reservation and a drink minimum, they should be able to fulfill the reservation and expect that your patrons are going to follow the minimum which we did. I would not go back to this bar after my experience. read more
