Super easy to do online. It's BYO Beer, Food, Drinks, Cakes, etc. they have plastic cutlery and plats available. They also provide you with a tub of ice. It's $12 per person per hour. We had so much fun that we extended an hour and they were able to accommodate that. They also sell some beverages if you want but it's more cost friendly to bring your own. They also give a discount if you pay cash but they do accept card or cash as payment. It is located in middle of K-town. It is easy to miss and the elevator is tiny (no more than 5 people at a time) or stairs. They also card everyone to ensure you're above 21yo so don't forget your ID.

It was a long and exhausting week trying to get in touch with these folks as I had planned a…read morebirthday party centered around the main attraction of this place which is private room style karaoke. The major bonus points were the BYOB (completely gone that night), the vast song selection (almost too much) and the decent sound system. The prices are extremely inexpensive and they provide for plates, cups, and ice (but only for small cocktails apparently - no more coolers). The owners were nice, but a little difficult at first since they were so hard to get in touch with on the phone and a bit snappy in person. The female owner of the joint kept interrupting me and was assuming almost every other line I was about to say. It was a very frustrating start to say the least. I was initially extremely disappointed their international song selection is virtually gone (website is incorrect) but at the very least the English selection they had was fairly current with new songs and separated by year of release. Their 25 person room was better fit for 15-16 people (comfortably), so there was some severe overcrowding in our space as over 30 people arrived for the party. As a result, some folks were relegated to the floor which was sticky and grimy, just like karaoke books which were covered with small bits of food and the pages were stuck together from previous spills. There is even a couch that is technically broken and sinks so low to the ground that your ass is only separated by 1 inch cheap leather. I may be willing to come here again for BYOB karaoke fun, but I'll leave someone else to reserve this place in the future.

I finally decided to stop by in person to see if I could get a room for a night of cheap imbibing and butchering of 80's top hits. The second story neon sign was unlit and there was no response when I tried to buzz in. The cute hostess standing next door at the Irish Bar informed iBop was shut down by the cops in July.

Meanwhile, my bestie is a professional singer in a famous band so you know how that goes...she rocks the karaoke. We've been going to Planet Rose for years and they manage to maintain the same fun vibes, they don't skip a beat. Whatever their formula is, it's working. It's just this crazy-good energy from the crowd and staff alike. Speaking of, service is always A+. Drinks are always A+...and I might add not badly priced considering the location. Totally a modern twist on a dive karaoke bar & I'm here for it. You should be too.

BEWARE. Make sure you check your receipt!…read more We were came in on a Saturday night 9pm for a party of 11. We were quoted $100 dollars/hr for a room that didnt fit everyone. Two people in my party ended up standing the whole time and we were elbow to elbow. This is fine because what can you expect from ktown karaoke. We were initially told that we would get $100 dollar drink credit for our two hour stay. They charged a 25% automatic tip to our bill that we were not told before. Their website also did not mention an automatic gratuity for 25%. Our total ended up being mid $500 for two hours. This is after they kept pushing us to order drinks to meet our drink minimum. We ended up leaving the ordered drinks unopened. However upon receipt they did not give us the credit we were initially told. When we question this there was a long laundry list of reasons how we were given the credit but it doesn't not show on the itemized receipt. The numbers just did not make sense as we struggled to meet the drink minimum. On the itemized they told me they already included the credit. In terms of their karaoke system it leaves a bit to be desired. They use YouTube. Theres one shared anytime YouTube account where you can add songs on queue. It was pretty inefficient as random songs would pop up from other peoples rooms. You also cannot insert a song into queue or it will reset the queue. Our tiny room got pretty hot during the summer time. By the time we left we were all sweating. In summary please double check your reciept and know what you are paying for.

Really? took a while for the mics to start working, staff had to keep coming to fix stuff. I would not recommend this place for private rooms or food. it is a money grab location. Eat & drink before you come here.

Before Karaoke Champ, karaoke systems in NYC was a bit like the wild wild west. You just never knew…read morewhat you were going to get. Outside of the Duet franchise, Karaoke Champ has a song selection about as updated as they come. They're among the smartest people in the business. K-Champ has managed to capitalize on a local industry centered around karaoke venues that simply didn't have the bandwidth to manually update their songs to keep up with the demand. As a result, there is some consistency at similar venues and chances are if you have a go-to song at one place that uses the K-Champ system, it's probably the same # at the next. And if you haven't figured it out already, K-Champ is not a venue, but rather a karaoke system that is spreading around the city like wild fire. I've even seen it in San Francisco, at places like Yamasho's in the Tenderloin. The fact their song selection transcends English is fantastic. Nothing says versatility like being able to pick from Japanese, Chinese, and Spanish as well. I imagine there is a reason Korean isn't part of the selection, but let's hope that's just a temporary thing. Not sure if your song is part of the mix? Just check the entire catalog online: http://www.karaokechamp.com/song_search.html So as long as the system continues to get better, I don't see it as a "monopoly" problem in the industry. There is always going to be competition on the song selection front and it seems like karaoke is here to stay in NYC. Lastly if you guys at Karaoke Champ are reading this, I would really appreciate it if you would please add "Ludacris - What's Your Fantasy?" and "LL Cool J - Doin It" to your selection.

The only problem I had was connecting the wires on the back of the machine after I moved locations from one night to the next. The diagrams in the user manuals could be a bit better :) Luckily, I have some great audiophile/dj friends who saved the day. Phew! get your rental here and you'll be very happy, I promise you. No fuss, direct, straight forward, and happy people.
