The drinks on offer are limited, a handful of beers and some super sugary Vodka Cruisers. Once you've parted with your pocket change and have some bottles in hand you can then stumble into your little room and recline on a saggy couch and try with great difficulty to operate the remote. If you're as drunk as we normally are you'll probably need to call the staff for help several times, but bless them they're so patient. I highly recommend getting wasted and dancing to Kylie Minogue. The beauty of this place is you can rough it up a bit without fear of retribution. We used to actually jump from couch to couch, microphones in hand, screaming Madonna at the top of our lungs and only taking breaks to sneak cigarettes in the corner of the room where the cameras couldn't spot us. You can't do shit like that any more but go anyway and get filthy like the rock star that you are.

Last Friday night I went to K Illusion with a group of 6. Feel like you've been there before but…read moreyou don't recognize the name? It's because it was once K Box and Melody separately but now combined to be one karaoke business. We booked a room and only paid $9 each between the 6 of us. Apparently to my friends, that's pretty cheap but it was my first karaoke experience in Adelaide anyways. They only gave us two microphones, so that was a little disappointing. Moreover, since the microphones were built to only register sounds close to the microphone, sharing simultaneously was a no-go. We had some technological difficulties like changing the volume of the music rather than changing the volume of the microphone. We had to get some assistance from one of the employees to help us switch from non-English music to English music in the beginning too. Aside from that, we had a blast! Justin Bieber songs and Taylor Swift songs are always amusing. We tried Mariah Carey but "We Belong Together" was too emo for us.

There was constant violence in this bar, and on one occasion I witnessed two different glassings - one being the bouncer, and one being my friend. Thankfully this place has settled down, and though I'm not sure what changes have occurred apart from the name, it seemed to have work. The karaoke rooms are incredibly spacious and comfy, with plasma screens lining the walls so everyone can scrutinize the words you should be singing. The song selections are vast, and they have collections from Chinese, Korean, Japanese and Western artists. There's no escape; you're going to eventually find a song on this playlist that you can't fight singing, and next thing you know you'll have one leg up on a couch and doing some sort of Elvis dance. The public bar is also a nice, loungy area with different music depending on the night. Not a bad place to enjoy a drink or two before you get your diva on.

With emotion? Terror? It remains unclear. Lyrics has the nicest Karaoke rooms in Adelaide, every room being decked with plush furniture and plasma screens. They do room drinks service so you can get martini jugs to drink away the nerves, and they have a better song selection than most. If you go on a weeknight and order a bucket-load of drinks there is a possibility they'll let you stay longer than you booked for free: it's not guaranteed but it has happened! The Dj in the front bar plays Top 40 mostly so don't expect to get your Indie on. As far as the individual room, everybody wants to hire the Brat Pack. It's the biggest, all white and plush and when you walk past you usually see wealthy attractive people in there and the bastards tend to sing better than you do. The other eleven rooms are pretty good but the Bridget Jones and Hugh Hefner are my personal faves. This is a really excellent place for hen's nights and staff parties. It's incredible what happens to the shy office supplies manager once you put a microphone in his hand. Everybody has a little Beiber deep down inside them I guess.

La Sing is one of the few late-night karaoke places in Adelaide where you don't have to pay for a…read moreprivate booth. Which kind of explains why it resembles a mafia den. The system works as follows: you have a look through the plastic folders of songs (the choices are pretty good - old and cheesy is what you want in karaoke), write down your choice on a little slip of paper and deliver it to the DJ who sits behind a big desk at the back of the room. And then wait to see if your song will ever get played. I have had some really great times here, but I've noticed that certain groups of people tends to dominate the songs that get played. If you arrive with a big enough group, or it's a weeknight, you have a much better chance of getting your songs played. The staff can also be really horrible. Once I came in and was sitting at a table waiting for my friends who were two or three minutes behind me, and a staff member came up and said, "This isn't a lounge room, order a drink". So obviously they get annoyed with patrons who don't spend enough on food or drinks. I keep coming back though, and I have a good time even when they don't play my songs. Last weekend I burnt my fingers holding my lighter up and swaying. Apart form the mostly tragic, there is also an element of naturally good amateur performers who frequent the place - like the guy who looks like Alec Baldwin, and the short asian guy with a voice like Frank Sinatra. Did I mention they've got champagne and wonton noodle soup? You can find their facebook page here: http://www.facebook.com/pages/La-Sing-Karaoke-Bar/272696265997?sk=info

You probably don't NEED to be on a hens night to do this though, any excuse will do...birthday, anniversary, champagne Thursday, vodka Friday, tequila Saturday....really, all seven days of the week would be fine by me! La Sing is where you end up at the end of the night, if you have at least a little class running through you. If you are completely un-classy, like me, you'll start your night here, head off for a while and somehow find your way back. It's a dive, you have to wait AGES to have your song played but in the meantime you'll have the time of your life drinking, doing shots and dancing like a dancing queen - you'll probably even end up, somehow, eating their 'kinda gross but actually tasty at 2am' chicken wings. You will not regret it. You will not be judged. You will have a fan-freakin-tastic night.

Having sat through that one night, we avoid the place if we know the mic is open. There is, however, never a bad night for the food, as there are constant $9.90 schnitzel specials. Unlike The Lion up the road, Lord Melbourne doesn't charge $3 for gravy or sauce, and includes salad for free. The only catch is that you have to buy a drink. Oh, well, okay then. They have Bulmer's Pear on tap, so that'll do for me. You can also just buy a soft drink if you really want to keep it cheap. So that's a schnitty and a coke for $13? Not half bad. Not considering that the schnitties are a decent size with thick veal and very yummy chips. Thursday nights are a winner for $12 steaks. Again, you have to buy a drink, but I don't think anyone at a pub complains too loudly about that. Tonight I got a 600 gram rump steak, beautifully cooked to a 'medium', tender, fat and yummy. And with chips and salad. I'm a happy camper at the moment. One little tip for the Lord Melbourne - if you go into where the pokies are they have a complimentary coffee and hot chocolate machine. I use this excessively when we're there later at night, often finding that a mocha is just what I need. Especially if it's free.

It is so refreshing. If you're not looking hard enough you would easily miss it. Walk in and it's like the prohibition era, from the grungy shelves to the dark, moody decor and booths to the sad music. It is easily one of the best themed cocktail bars in Adelaide. Drinks are fantastic. Some bars have expensive drinks for not much and they don't taste great. Not at Baddog, they are top notch and the barman does it right in front of you on the bar so you don't miss a thing. Brilliant. Best find of the year for me so far.

The waist coats, crystal glasses and twisted stainless steel and silver spoons all work to make this a top spot for a cocktail or cheeky beer. A maestro of the common and rare cocktails and a range of spirits you wont find in many bars Zack makes this bar. Sitting at the bar is mandatory for the first drink in my opinion then sneak off to the lux booths for quiet and intimate drinks. Its dark, has very cool décor and edgy clean bathrooms. Bad Dog Bar doesn't have tvs, doesn't have pokies and doesn't have tap beer and for goodness sakes never order an apple-tini :) and that's the way we like it. Top Tip: order the pickleback - rye bourbon shot followed by some freshly made pickle juice. The SMoking Joint cocktail is also a fav!
