My friend who is a LES resident bought us to Sing Sing Ave.A for my bday, two nights ago. The inside is dark and the atmosphere is slightly dank-which isn't a bad thing! Feels like a basement party. Crowd was loud and fun. Drinks were cheap and the beautiful bartender, treated me to a birthday shot of my choice of tequila and a free refill on my Coke. Songs are two dollars each. Two mic's get passed around and chances are you will NOT sing alone. Crowd participation here is great. The front door security guard even dropped a Kendrick Lamar bop on us. Sing Sing has private karaoke rooms if that's your thing. They don't serve food but they have no problem with you bringing your own. Another dope experience in Alphabet City! read more

Sing Sing Ave.A - Karaoke Near Me - New York, New York

This is the best karaoke bar in NYC. All the bartenders are chill, and the song library is robust. The place doesn't offer food, but is right next door to a bodega and allows outside food. Shout out to Amy, Jess, Kevin, and Leo read more

Oh! Why the low rating? You will absolutely have fun here! It has a grungy dive bar mixed with fun karaoke vibes. Come sing your heart out with your friends/family in a private room, or if you are more daring, you can sing in front of others in the bar area. They are opened every day until 4 am, and the prices are reasonable too. read more

Absolutely LOVED the service! Remember to not bring any outside drinks though! The regular rooms are small but have lots of base to really get into your music! read more

Amie & Kevin were so accommodating and friendly! We had such a great time & will continue to recommend. Coming from PNW karaoke room was such a cool experience :) read more

When we first arrived at this spot it looks really small from the outside but it's pretty big lots of rooms to sing karaoke privately with friends and family. They have a bar as soon as you walk in where they have people singing that did not book a room to sing. What I liked about this place is you can bring your own food which is nice. You cannot bring your own liquor but they had a variety of choices to drink. The room my friends booked was nice but was too small for the amount of guest they invited so the staff offered a bigger room Which was nice and accommodating I'm not sure if they charged them extra but it was great for the guest. This place gets busy as the night goes on! The music selection was ok many songs we tried to look for they did not have but they also had the option to use your own personal device to connect to their tv and pick the songs we like. I would definitely come back with a group of people, good energy, lots of singing can't go wrong. read more

- Wait in main lounge can get long during peak hours + Extensive catalogue Overall it was okay, not the best not the worst. 2 songs per drink is nice tho. read more

Had such a great time there! Ended up getting one of the private rooms with a friend for 2 hours! It was about $15 per hour (because the room was for 3 people originally but that was the only room available at the time) and they had a bunch of songs to select from. I think it is usually around 10 per person per hour. The room was pretty small and was supposed to be for 3 people. However, it was perfect for just 2. I can't wait to go again! read more

Karaoke bars are a really popular way for this city's dwellers to past the time, so when all the better spots are booked solid through the night and you need a last minute place to go, Sing Sing will likely have an available room. Imagine the stickiest little bar you could fathom with thin walls, employees who do not want to be there, overpriced shots, and the large song catalogues with the pages inside the sort of plastic binder sheets you used in high school, and you'll get an accurate picture of what Sing Sing is. It's more or less your standard karaoke bar, except stickier, more cramped, and without the efficiency of the karaoke bars in K-town. What I will say is that their song catalog was extensive enough to have all the songs we wanted to sing. I'm not sure if the songs are up to date, but I go to karaoke to sing the nostalgic music of my youth and not modern music. There was no service in the rooms to speak of, we had to brave the lines at the bar out front anytime we wanted more drinks. read more

A great place to go when the city isn't as busy for fun karaoke, but you have to know the very real draw backs! The good: a. Really good song collection b. LOVE THE STAFF - awesome and fast c. Vibe - fun and chill and having a good time d. Pretty good drinks prices Why it doesn't get 5 stars: a. It can be kinda cramped in the public areas (small space problem) b. There sometimes is a tipsy/over-eager a guy (different guys) lounging around (probably practically lives there) stealing songs, bumming drinks off of people, and getting uncomfortably touchy with the girls of the group. At first it feels like being friendly, but then it gets weird. Go with a group to make sure it's fun and not concerning. Bottom Line: a. Great for - 3rd dates - Groups of friends - Slow days b. Bad for - Break ups - On your own - If you pick really awkward songs (thematically or things that don't have good sound for live singing) read more

I was in New York, visiting from Seattle, and wanted to check this out as a friend who lives there recommended it. I like public karaoke and while there was a bar area where folks got to sing (as opposed to renting the rooms in the back), the energy was flat and the bartender (while very attractive and seemingly kind) wasn't very attentive to filling my drink... so I had a couple of drinks, sang a couple of songs that no one seemed to notice, and left. read more

Such a cute place! My friend and I were only going to stay one he but they had Bollywood songs also So we stayed two hrs and it is def a memory for life. The private rooms are super cute and we didn't even know how time flew. It would be nice to have newer Bollywood songs but it was crazy they had a couple they had. All the other songs great selection and the bathroom was super cool lit up and and overall totally would come again read more

Rented a private room for my birthday. We had a lot of fun. Pros: price, friendly accommodating staff, wide variety of drinks Con: the rooms are a tad small and don't really match the suggested party size. We had six ppl in a room that is reserved for 8. It was tight in there. read more

Had a great time at Sing Sing!! I held my birthday party here and it was super easy. The staff were very communicative prior to the event and everything went perfectly for my reservation. We had quick service getting drinks to our room. The karaoke song selection was easy on an iPad and the amount of songs was perfect. The microphones worked well too. Everyone got to sing something they enjoyed and we had a great time! No surprises with payment either. Will definitely be back! read more

Too much fun was had by all! We sang our hearts out all night! The atmosphere was so fun and friendly. There's some pretty cool artwork on the walls and the drinks are reasonably priced. If you love karaoke and fun, come here! You can even rent a private room to sing with your friends! read more

Waited over an hour to sing. That's okay, it's busy. But after being skipped over several times even after BEING PROMISED I WOULD BE UP NEXT. I'm sorry but I will never come back. Mood was ruined, and the disappointment is immeasurable. I can't reccomend a place that openly disrespects the clientele. SKIP THIS PLACE. read more

small song selection. bad audio quality. dirty and small rooms!! and the worst part is the blonde lady at the front is rude and kind of strange. i won't be returning... read more

It was cold in the rooms and the bathrooms are dive bar perfect. Meaning that you definitely want to consider carrying hand sanitizer with you. It is great fun though and they have a wide catalog of music. The service is friendly and consistent. read more

The rooms weren't that large. There wasn't as many songs of the genres I liked. Specifically underground hip hop, alternative rock, some less popular pop songs, and so on. The entrance is narrow which I don't like. It gets pretty crowded! There is two floors of rooms and there is a dingy vibe to it. The drinks are strong! Which made me happy. Service is quick and direct. read more

So so. Ambiance is eh. Could be improved. Guy is such a stickler. We had one more person and it was immediate no go. More leniency please. More money in your pocket sir? read more

ZERO. STARS. I've done a lot of karaoke in the city and this place was so unbelievably awful. I have never experienced such horrendous customer service in my life. The bouncer accused multiple members in our group of having fake IDs when we are all well over 21. He then proceeded to request $60 BRIBES to get back the IDs and get inside???? Once we made it into the space we were literally yelled at by the woman and man working karaoke and when someone in our party lost their phone THEY LOCKED THE ROOM AND WOULDNT LET US IN. She refused to fast forward security footage and made her sit down and watch almost the full hour before letting us back into the room to retrieve it. Not to mention the drinks are just plain bad and expensive. We were then OVERCHARGED and yelled at once again. Never coming back to this overpriced and sleazy dump. read more

Could use more space service weird no food though man. If they got finger food, it would be a different story

Love sing sing, it's the spot for late night karaoke. Very reasonably priced and they're cool with you bringing in outside food in private rooms! Great song selection and responsive staff. read more

Sing Sing has a steady crowd of locals, you come here to have fun, sing karaoke, receive great service right away, you are never waiting for a drink, and they have a vast selection of songs. The crowd is eccentric, friendly, it's always a great time here. Sing Sing has an unapologetic vibe, with memorable nights. read more

Absolutely my fave spot in NYC! Love the bar tenders and they are like my NYC family for me!!!

One of my all time favorite bars in the city! My friends and I come here whenever we want to have a really good night because it never disappoints. Super divey, local, loud, and fun. The drinks are always made really strong and the bartenders are attentive despite how crowded it can get. There are so many songs to choose from. The private rooms are fun but the bar area with public karaoke the is my favorite! There's always a lot of Taylor swift songs and pop songs that everyone gets excited for (especially me). read more

Had a great time at Sing Sing last weekend! It's the perfect vibe of dive bar meets Karaoke. The place was packed but we were able to get our drinks pretty quickly and had a blast singing the night away. I also love that there are signs up that say Mariah Carey's "All I want for Christmas is you" is allowed to be played once a night in the month of December... that's so good! Will be back next weekend for sure. read more

-First Impression- Looks very grungy... -Service- Service was ok, although the pricing wasn't really explained well. The app they use on the ipad or song selection was explained pretty clearly, so that went fairly smoothly. There's a button (I presume in each room) to let the staff know you need them. The first time we pressed it, no one showed up after several minutes so we pressed it again and someone came in to help us shortly after. -Price- I think they charge based on a 10 person minimum. There were 8 people in our group and it seemed as though we had to pay for two imaginary people, but we weren't told this until AFTER we used the room... Again, not clear on that -Did Not Like- The inside of this place looks like some secret underground basement party in the 90s that you have to know somebody who knows somebody to get in. Kind of scary-looking, actually. -Noteworthy- Very good song selection, including a lot of recent songs and current top hits -Recommended?- Probably will not be back... read more

I had a great time here with 3 other friends. We went around 8ish and left around 10ish. This is exactly what it looks like - a hole in the wall karaoke bar. We did not get a private room, we just hung out in the main bar and sang our little hearts out. We drank, we people watched and searched for the best songs in the big book of tunes. I honestly didn't expect anything more or less when I decided to come here. If you're looking for some fun and drinks, then you'll have fun no matter what. They have a bathroom! They take cards! $2 a song, $5 bohemian rhapsody. Enjoy! read more

Went here for my brothers get together with friends & it's a pretty cool spot,a good selection of songs,they serve happy hour on weekends till 8pm which is ..the staff was always great..I will be back read more

This place will over-charge your credit card and refuse to refund you after multiple emails. They're scammers -- stay away.

The manager Mark made my group feel so welcome. Such a good time. Clean bathrooms, good acoustics, great drinks and such a fun crowd. Going to have to book my company party here! read more

RUN. This place was so chaotic and unorganized. I get it's a karaoke bar but the staff is non stop shouting across the bar and down the halls the entire time. They overcharged our party and included 20% tip on top of a convenience fee??? Even after that, the guy tried to get me to tip extra. They take bribes at the door from people underage but gave us a hard time with our real ids. Not to mention the staff is just outright rude and condescending. read more

Karaoke bars are fun... if you're a good singer or you have a enough liquid courage or the right group around you. Well I'm not a good singer, but with happy hour running until 9pm on Friday I'll take a couple of $4 angry orchards. The need to know: 1 bartender until 9. 3 screens with lyrics, 2 wireless microphones around the bar. Each song request is $2. Private rooms available in the back. Most people arrive after 10 so sing early if you don't like the crowd or prepare to wait 5-10 bad renditions from journey and others until your next chance to sing. Located between Houston and 14th st there are many options for transportation. M9, M14, M15, L, F trains read more

Go here if you want people that signed up after you to bribe the employees and sing ahead of you! We've seen multiple people slipping the person who manages the front bar karaoke money in order to sing first. We were there for an hour, there were maybe 7 people, and inexplicably, the same 4 members of a friend group that signed up way after us kept singing for the whole hour. It was like their own private concert! Good for them. You guys suck for this. read more

The songs I sang? I cannot tell you. It's confidential. My songs are for Lisa. Only Lisa . . . We sang all night in a private room and it was very good, very good indeed. I learned how to use an iPad. My heart is loud through the mic. Gratuity of 20% was included which was nice because I could leave all my math at work. If you book a room for yourself and Lisa and Mark, you will get charged for 3 people for the night even if Lisa storms out because she is mad that you sang 7 Journey songs in a row. Anyway, how is your sex life? read more

I've done karaoke a lot, and this place is by far the most sleazy, purposely manipulative spot I've visited. I was there with a few friends and we wound up with an astronomically high bill that was lowered seemingly arbitrarily when we pointed out that 1) no one had told us our time was up at any given point (which like, what? every other karaoke bar I've been to lets you know when your time is up and gives you the opportunity to either pay for more time or leave) and 2) that a very clearly drunk bartender had double-charged us for drinks. The manager was some dude with napoleon complex who ridiculously threatened to call the cops on my understandably upset friend when he dared challenge him about the bill. We wound up just paying so we could get out of there, which absolutely strikes me as the way they hope things work out. Beyond that, the speakers in the room were totally blown out, the mics don't have any covers on them (and are definitely not cleaned between uses), and the song selection blows. Do yourself a favor and go to literally ANY other karaoke place instead of this trash pile. read more

The man that works the door is absolutely awful. Literally said "get out" repeatedly when our time was up, and wouldn't even let us use the bathroom before leaving. 10/10 rude AF. If you want to spend a lot of money and leave feeling bewildered by their incredibly poor customer service, check it out. Anything but friendly. There are much better karaoke rooms in NYC! read more

Enjoyed! What a cool concept. We got a small room so we could sing until our heart's were content without disturbing anyone else. Some of us in the room were way better than others, but who cares? Everyone had fun. Definitely, make sure they give you a controller that works well. Ours was glitchy and slow - thus eating into our rental time. However, the bar was well serviced, and everyone had a great time. The bathroom was less clean than I like to see, but we were there pretty late in the night, so I guess we cannot be too judgmental. It's tough to keep bathrooms up with drunk patrons, especially late into the night. Overall we had a great experience, and the system and a plethora of songs to choose from that met everyone's expectations and needs. I would highly recommend this place for a fun out with friends. read more
