I celebrated my birthday at Stage and it was the perfect night. The atmosphere, the vibe, the aesthetic, the attention to detail and care for each guest was truly so apparent that this venue knows excellent hospitality. They made me feel so special and made the night 10/10 for me and my dearest friends. The private rooms were so elegant and had an amazing sound system. The DJ was crushing it out in the main stage too when we joined the public section. The management was so friendly and super experienced - and the drinks were so glad we celebrated here. I can't wait to come back!!! read more

It's a Tuesday!! Showed up here with a group of 7 for our first time and decided to brave it out and hit the main stage instead of hiding in a private studio room. The best part was that the place was basically empty, so it felt like we rented out our own personal private concert venue. We sang multiple songs. Repeatedly. Zero shame. Back up dancers and everything, we were in our main character energy. IDs are required whether you're drinking or not, so just bring it. The DJ was solid and played good tunes in between sets. Just know it is LOUD (as it should be), so prepare your vocal cords and your ears. The lighting is also very dim so be prepared for that too. A few of us got drinks and they were good, no complaints there. Staff was friendly and the vibe was chill. Bathroom was clean overall, but most of the stalls didn't have toilet paper... which you unfortunately discover after you're already committed. That part? Annoying. Overall though, we had a really fun night and would definitely go back, especially on a slower night for some of us that aren't that brave. read more

Stage now has $10 mini martinis all night, every Monday, and I'm obsessed with the Sour Apple Bottom Jeans and Espressyo Self flavors And, the small bites from @wakuwakuramen were so YUM. The tonkotsu ramen, mango gyoza, and beef rice bowl were definitely my faves. Whether taking the spotlight on the main stage or booking a private room with your besties to sing your hearts out, Mondays can now be your favorite start to the week @stagekaraoke read more

For anyone planning to go: be aware that even if you have a reserved private room and your friends are already inside, you may still be forced to wait through the entire line of people joining the main stage or checking into their private rooms. If you question it, you risk being labeled "intoxicated" and denied entry altogether. Our experience was honestly shocking and deserves to be shared. We planned a birthday celebration for our best friend and reserved a private room for a group of 12. Most of our friends arrived earlier and were already checked in and inside the room. The rest of us (3 people) arrived about 15 minutes later, expecting to simply join our friends and continue the celebration. Instead, upon arrival the bouncer told us to go to the very end of a long line. We calmly explained multiple times that our group was already inside in a room, fully checked in, and we were just joining them. *This is a completely standard situation at most venues*. However, the bouncer refused, saying "because I told you so" and accused us of "cutting the line," which made no logical sense given the situation. Things escalated quickly and unnecessarily. The bouncer became rude and dismissive, then suddenly claimed that we appeared "too intoxicated" and he might deny entry if we don't follow his orders--despite the fact that we had just come from work and had not consumed any alcohol (I even explained that I'm pregnant and do not drink at all). This accusation felt completely baseless and seemed like a way to assert dominance rather than address the situation fairly. When we asked for a manager, the situation was not handled properly. No one came out to speak with us or hear our side, and we were left waiting in line for over 20 minutes just to join our friends. When we finally reached the front, the bouncer allowed us entry, unnecessarily screaming "Have a good day!" into my face 3 times in a row after I told him he could be nicer. The next second, as we were stepping in he suddenly turned back and "changed his mind" denying us entry for no clear reason. (clown emoji) Meanwhile, the birthday host--who had paid a significant amount for that night--had to spend over 45 additional minutes inside speaking with management just to get us in. Eventually, the manager came out allowing us entry, saying we "don't seem intoxicated" to him now. (clown emoji) Why wait for an hour instead of leaving, you ask me? Because I see my friends at most 6 times a year, and we simply wanted to spend time and share joy together for as much as possible. Obviously, the mood was ruined, but at least we stuck together. After this experience, I looked through recent reviews and noticed multiple other complaints--just within the past 2 months--about similar rude and aggressive behavior from bouncers. That suggests this is not an isolated incident, but an ongoing issue that management is choosing not to address! I can only imagine how many more people had the same experience, but stayed silent... I would strongly caution others before booking here--especially for important events. read more

I've been here many times now over the years for different occasions. This is a great reliable place to sing your heart down either on the main stage or in a private room. I've done both. Most recently they also have a good promotion for. Discounted times such as Sunday from 4 to 7 PM where it was mostly empty so we were able to book last minute. Also double check since it's a college town area of whether they have student discounts available! Some of the songs are not fully synced between the lyrics and the audio. That was a bit awkward when the audio and lyrics were off when singing Fall Out Boy oops. I'm glad that they have a wider selection here than some of the other locations I've tried. Depending on the size of the room you may have more features available. Each of the rooms should have a call option for service. The bottle tapwater and the soda should be included in the hourly rate. The specialty drinks and alcohol are not. I appreciate that they have a screen in front and also and back so you can face multiple directions while singing. I have no idea if all of the rooms have the capability, but I know some of them have a QR code that you can scan on your phone so you can add songs synced as well to the room playlist. Unfortunately it looks like from the other reviews. That's not a consistent option for all of the rooms. Thankfully, the song will end once your reservation time is over so you don't need to worry about them charging you more for going over like other places. If you wanna try the main stage, you were at the mercy of the DJ and I remember coming here with a sizable group of friends, but there was also another sizable group so we had clashing emo songs alternating with mostly the other group's country. read more

Allston isn't exactly known for its entertainment scene, which is why Stage is such a welcome addition to the area! Located in the heart of Allston, surrounded by popular restaurants, it's the perfect spot to hit up dinner for some drinks and fun.. Stage has both a public main karaoke area with a cover charge and private rooms for a more intimate experience. The drinks are solid and served in stylish, fun cups. I've been in a private room twice now and each time it's been a blast. With two karaoke systems, one in English and the other in Chinese, Stage offers a wide selection of songs, so you're sure to find something you want to sing. On my most recent visit for a birthday celebration, they allowed us to decorate the private room with balloons and party favors, and even helped us with the cleanup afterward. The service was good, you push a button and a server comes promptly. At the end, they helped us clean up the decorations we put up which was really appreciated. The atmosphere is trendy and upbeat, with sleek LED lighting and large screens, giving the place a modern club-like feel. Overall, it's a great spot for a fun night out with friends! read more

This place sucks. I put a song on, waited an hour, and witnessed everyone (including those who had gone before) sing. I promise to God I am not an angry person, and I am not generally confrontational. I went to the DJ after the songs for the people I was with had already sung, and I had queued a song up before them. The DJ told me I was 14th in line. My friends went to them and told me it was my birthday (2 wrongs don't make a right, but at this point I was fed up) and they moved it up to 7th in the queue. I hate this place. Go to Cleveland instead. The city. This is a microcosm of the trouble of Boston as a city. read more

Had so much fun in a private room here for a friend's birthday! Stage Karaoke has a cool, neon, popart vibe that makes it a fun alternative to the typical nights out Boston. Staff were super fast with drinks and also polite with reminders about how much time we had left. The room had just enough space for our party of 10 that still felt intimate and all the song selections I was looking for. They also had a public bar/dance space where I believe you can request to do songs in front of a bigger audience! read more

Little gem in the old white horse / Catina bar spot in Allston. The door staff was pretty courteous and nice as we showed up pretty late. And didn't have reservations for any private rooms but we filtered into the main stage where you can karaoke to your hearts content ON stage infront of the folks in the main area past the bar. They have a full bar with drinks and bottle service at your table. The karaoke system for song request was done on wall tablets located right behind the DJ booth.s Apparently this evening was the last day spinning music for karaoke kings and queens so he requested a group picture at the end. The song queues can become really long People seemed to be having a lot of fun channeling their inner Idol haha. read more

I went to meet friends (all late 20s/30s) but forgot my ID, and the manager was rude during our whole encounter. He told me straight up he lets people without ID if they look over 40 to him, so I guess I'm flattered but still irritated at inconsistent logic... clearly he was in a bad mood today. Rot starts from the top! Their drinks are mostly water anyway, so idk why he's so worried about me drinking. read more

I came upstairs and was greeted by the host, who led me to the room my friends had booked. It was pretty cool! Our waitress was friendly and patient, guiding us through the menus to find our favorite songs. We ordered a ton of drinks, and after splitting the cost for the room and drinks, the total was actually pretty reasonable. Just a heads-up, their yogurt soju is just flavored soju. They don't actually mix the yogurt with the alcohol like at the restaurant nearby. read more

Great place to come for group karaoke. You can book individual rooms to karaoke or just karaoke with others by the stage. They have tapas and drinks. They close at 2am every day, weekends and weekdays. You're able to pick songs to sing on the tablets on the wall. Super cute interior aesthetic. Would definitely come back. read more

I've always been big on karaoke, when I was stationed in Hawaii it was a weekly must do. It's almost culture out there. I always wished Boston had places like that. Over the last few years a few have popped up but most had limited drink options, outdated, and limited options for songs. When I heard of Stage Karaoke and visited their website I had to go. I finally did and it was everything I imagined. They reservation system is perfect, no Over crowding at check in, no long waits and awesome staff. Everyone was on point and all looked genuinely happy to be working there. They are quick when you press the service button, kindest servers. The rooms are all decorated differently but all dope. You can change lighting, choose between two systems. Their machine allows you to duet with the machine. It gives you back up vocals and all. They have comfy seats but we were up the whole time dancing and having a great time. They have the cabernet that is so good too. read more

Stage is great!! Having been to Do Re Mi and Jin Karaoke in the past, Stage takes it to the next level with a snazzy interior, nice private rooms, a really awesome main room stage area, ample seating, cool lighting and ambiance. The best thing in the house is DJ Wes!!! Grooving to the music, he actually has a great voice too and always smiling and very friendly and cheerful. Plays great fun music during the switch between the karaoke singers and keeps the party going!! We went for the first time a couple weeks back on a Tuesday night when entry to the main area is free. We had such a good time that we returned the following Tuesday. It does get crowded after 9pm or so and then you have to wait a while for your chance to sing. You have to write down your song name, artist, song number and your name on paper slips and hand it to DJ Wes and you're in queue. We got there at 9 and put in 3 songs, but until 11:30 only got to sing 2 of them but had to leave. The second time we got there earlier just after 8 and it was not that crowded. So we definitely got to sing more songs this time around. There are clearly some regular karaoke-ers here, some of whom have great voices, cool moves, and are powerhouses and some clearly have great showmanship working the crowd! The waitress came by to check on us often. Drinks were being had at the tables and there were people seated at the bar as well. The only negative is that in the restroom, several stalls were out of order the first time and still out of order the week after. So I sure hope they fix those soon. Also with large groups can sometimes get a little crazy, but the bouncer came by frequently and checked on everything, so all good. Overall a very fun time singing, watching others sing and enjoying the music. read more

Nice Place , cold Bear, nice people, friendly place in Brighton . Nice food and very good service

Staff at entrance was rude. If it wasn't for my friend's birthday, I would have left. I would highly not recommend.

Our server, Annie, is wonderful! Absolutely killed it! She handled all of our drink orders perfectly and was prompt when I pressed the "call server" button. Very friendly and courteous too. read more

Went with a group of friends to our own studio. I like the lighting and there's 2 screens to sing along to. There's only 2 mics to a room as well. You can also order food/drinks to your room, don't bring anything outside, in. They have cameras and will be watching. The main annoying thing was, the song list told us to download an app, but staff said the app doesn't work. So we just picked random songs and did our best. I personally enjoy the STAGE area more than the private rooms. People queue up with their songs and just roll on up and give it a whirl. The other guests there were very supportive. read more

Love stage karaoke! We went on a Saturday night and book the small room, which is perfect for less than 10 people. The room had custom LED lighting, sound system, waters and sodas are included. We sang our hearts out for three hours and had the best time! read more

I've rented a room and enjoyed the stage so will talk about both. Room: very fun! Not as fun as the stage and TONS of hidden fees. Will not go again as the stage is cheaper. And the hidden fees just were gross. Stage: Pros: IMMACULATE VIBES! it's a mixture of a dance club and karaoke bar. People will cheer you on and dance. cons: $20-$30 cover charge. Expect to pay $30 if it's busy. Old dj used to make sure everyone had a turn and hype you up. Current dj ignores you unless you hand him cash with a song request. Which sucks since you're already paying a cover charge! Watched him call the same guy 4 times ahead of us. and begrudgingly let us sing because we were literally the only folks there. If you got cash to blow and want good vibes go for it! If you just wanna sing go to their other karaoke bar "viva karaoke" they won't charge you out of the butt just to sing read more

Been here twice and only done the rooms not the stage area! Rooms are clean and spacious, rooms only have 2 mics which is hard sometimes with a big group. Drinks are good and food is delish! Definitely recommend booking a room in advance because this place gets packed on the weekends! read more

I thought the place was nice DJ was good but with all the software like Karafun out there it's depressing to see them use a paper song system. I'd prefer them use Karafun that way you can see a Que list and electronically input and view the song list rather than write on a piece of paper and hope he picks you and this system would save the DJ from being asked 1000x "when is my song" read more

I love the bartender Eliana. She's the greatest and friendliest! The food is great for sharing and the ambiance is amazing. Would definitely come back again! read more

Dan has great customer service and makes great drinks. Super welcoming atmosphere from all bartenders, hosts, and managers

They had youtube so you were pretty much unrestricted on song choice. food was going till just past mindnight gyoza and chicken tenders we're good enough . Drinks and service was very quick to respond using the service request button. Room was well sound isolated aside from a little rumbles . Definitely go back with more people spent 2:30 hours there still felt like I could go more . You can certainly just play music off you tube and drink in privacy Grabbed a coffee 2 min down the street before for the late night session which was open till 11pm If you want to record yourself bring your own stand for your phone . Was hope they have something to rent or borrow but didn't . tripod would be cool. read more

A friend and I went on a Thursday afternoon during their special($125 from 4p-7p) and even tho it was empty, it was very CLEAN and I loved the neon lights and vibe. Very picture-esq and the rooms are highly nice. They have a main stage and bar area. Song selection was insaneeeee! They had lots of music/artists I even forgot about. The server/host was very informative and helpful. They give you microphone covers and water/soda is complimentary with the room. I loved it and thought it was pretty worth the price! I recommend this place to enjoy doing karaoke with some friends!! read more

this is my go-to activity for birthdays--i have already been numerous times and it's always a good time! we typically get the small studio for our group, but there are bigger size rooms as well. they change by the room, not the amount of people. you do have to reserve a room ahead of time and put in a deposit. the vibes are great--very night life + club types. they have different themed rooms as well--we gotten the soju room, which was sooo cute. the staff are also super friendly. they have their own karaoke system, but we usually opt to use youtube for more song selections. there is also a main stage area where you sing in a public area. overall, i would probs be returning here again for another birthday, special occasion, or good time. if you want a lit karaoke experience in boston, i would recommend coming here! read more

Stage Karaoke x Studios - soju room - Karaoke Near Me - Allston, Massachusetts

I was a last minute tag along with my friend's group of friends. I had no idea how many people were going so I did not realize how big of a space we had waiting for our 12 - 2 am reservations. Our party of about 20 people sat comfortably in the spacious room with the surroundsound and multiple screens on each wall. Our waitress provided a quick tutorial as to how to use the system. She checked in on us on multiple occasions to see if we needed any food or drinks. For food we tried their octopus, gyoza, and French fries. Everything came fresh from their kitchen especially considering it was already so late into the night. I thoroughly enjoyed the octopus since they were still whole and not over cooked. The dumplings were still juicy inside so those would be definitely worth getting again. Overall, it is a great place and a fun time if with the right people. I would definitely come again! read more

We had a great time with the girls. We rented a room for six of us. It was a lot of fun. They had all the songs we wanted. The atmosphere is cool. You can change the lights in the room. As well as they have a stage in the common area in case if people decide to sing there. They have a bar from where you can order cocktails or you can order them directly from your room. When you rent a room they ask for a deposit, and the minimum you can stay in the room is two hours. Anyway, it was a lot of fun. read more

Was recently here for a birthday karaoke party and we had a really great time and would definitely come back. I can't speak to the bar or main stage aspect but I can speak to our experience. We rented one of the small rooms for two hours and took advantage of the 40% regular rate for afternoons up to 7 PM. We put down the $50 deposit which fortunately gets added to the final bill. Keep in mind that their rooms are not soundproof, but once you get a song going and start singing you don't even notice any noise coming from other rooms. Water and soft drinks are complimentary which is nice, and there is a call button in the room if you want to order cocktails or order food which other people in my party did. Servers were very kind and walked us through how to select the songs and do search for artists on their system. You can choose either to gave accompanied by the original artist or just do your own vocals, so whatever you prefer. We also took of their ability to hook up their system to YouTube so we could look for songs that might not be in their library, and so I for example was able to find and sing "Men in Tights" from the Mel Brooks' Robin Hood movie to wrap up our night. It was a really great time and definitely would go back to sing again. read more

I discovered Stage Karaoke a few months ago as a way to assuage my fear and clinical anxiety, including that of singing/speaking in public, and this place definitely has done that in spades. The open mic nights are especially great because it allows anyone and everyone to come in just for $10 to sing to your heart's content. You walk in, and just feel comfortable because everyone's in there doing the same thing you're doing. Which is singing, one of life's great joys once you feel comfortable with it. Extra props for the DJ over there, Wes, who seems to be a magician in knowing exactly what to play at the right time in between songs to keep everybody pumped up and ready for the next track to begin! If you're hesitating on checking it out, you shouldn't. The energy there is great , the music is loud, the DJ is spinning up a storm, and people are just singing their hearts out loud. GO - you won't be disappointed. read more

43 minutes ago NEW *Update* to ONE STAR 04/14/2023: NOW a 1 star review, which would be a ZERO star if ZERO was an option. See list below for better alternative karaoke that FOLLOWS ORDER OF SONG REQUESTS without a $30 cover (paid to see numerous people sing who put in requests after you for over 3 hours ). Occured previous 2 times as well, but now way worse that DJ host Remington quit a week ago with no notice. 1) Club Cafe Wednesdays (FREE) 2) Kings in Backbay Friday and Saturday (FREE) 3) Alley Bar on Sunday (FREE) 4) Cathedral Tuesdays (FREE) 5) Hong Kong (1 in Cambridge, the other near Faneuil Hall in Financial District). ALSO FREE and delicious chicken teriyaki. 6) Dbar in Dorchester on Fridays So after above and a ***$30*** cover (more than MOST dance club covers) plus $108 tab to have 4 hours of people cutting the line and some repeatedly? Hard pass. And Thursdays were free until March ($10 cover now). And a Korean style karaoke lounge with no kpop / kballad options. ******************************************* PREVIOUS 5 star review from November 2022: "New regular spot for me! Trendy flashy modern look, great host when i go Thursdays (he is doing Tuesdays soon, too?) Karaoke free Tuesday and Thursday for the GENERAL floor (private rooms have a cost, and i heard wider selection of songs). I also heard Friday and Saturdays have a $20 cover, but haven't been on those nights." read more
