For a place that calls itself "Volume Up," they sure don't give you a lot of volume. I'm a professional karaoke DJ. Here's my critique of Volume Up; Decide for yourselves. Great rooms, speakers, flat screens, decent mics, etc. In need of major improvements: 1. No ability to control mic volumes. Mics are much louder than music. 2. Music volume is WAY too low. (I hosted a party of 50 people and we had the volume at "100" and for many songs, it was literally a Capella. For the others, it was just low and uninspiring. They don't let you go loud at all, as there's a limiter on your volume. Everything could/should be louder- especially for the amount of speakers in each room. Major issue. 3. No ability to move/switch songs around. You need to either physically delete all the songs before the one you want moved up, or re-enter and hit priority. Just hope you remember to delete the other copy before it plays later. 4. No ability to enter singer names. Not a big deal unless you're doing a party of 15 or more. 5. No song titles as they play. 6. They need to provide a small light for viewing song book in the dark. 7. No ability to control pitch/octave. Many singers like to sing a half step down or up. 8. Be aware that "MV" in song list means music video. Most of the time it's the same. However, unfortunately we stumbled upon a track that literally had a good 2 minutes of dialogue/acting interrupt the song. The singers just stood there, as there was no way to fast forward past it. 9. No "search" ability. This one's a big deal as they just add all new stuff to more sheets in the back so if you don't see what you're looking for in main book, you need to scour 2018, 2019, etc. And you still may not see it. It's very time consuming to have to look through multiple books/choose btwn new songs, last year songs, etc. Case in point: we wanted "All the single ladies" and they apparently don't have it anywhere. However, because we couldn't search their system, we'll never know if we missed it. These are MAJOR basic karaoke requirements that Volume Up doesn't meet at this point in time. Hopefully they will improve their service going forward, as the group I hosted will not be back. read more

Celebrated my birthday here and as always, it was a GREAT idea! We brought food, drinks, and lots of energy :) The updated controllers were in Korean that we didn't understand but luckily David (THE MAN!) instructed us patiently when we continued to ask what button did what lol The song selection was updated to include popular songs from 2015 and 2016. When we ran out of basic drinks (water/red bull) the desk had them for sale at reasonable prices. read more

Great place to have fun with friends! Large selection of music, private room with disco lights and a big space with a table and couches for guests. It has a simple and cute aesthetic. What I love the most is that you can bring your own food and drinks! I highly recommend this karaoke spot! The prices are decent, too! And I love how chill the workers are. read more

If you're thinking of hosting a karaoke party in NYC, forget it. THIS is where you want to host. The aesthetics aren't as modern and suave as some karaoke lounges in the city, but can you really complain if the space is pretty accommodating, decent prices, and most importantly, BYOB??!! Go here if you don't care about the clean Instagram pics -- it's guaranteed you and your friends/family will have a nice time. I had a birthday party here and my friends brought in their own drinks. Everyone was turnt. 'Twas lit. A lot of parking space too (don't drink and drive though). Definitely recommend to friends!! read more

This place is bonkers. Everything is in Korean on the control pad. We don't speak or read Korean so it was a bit of a struggle and we never figured out the "scoring" portion of the thing. However, after a big group dinner with many drinks poured, how can you beat BYOB Karaoke?? You can't. The play list has everything as long as you can navigate it well enough in your inebrieated state to get the remote to work. Its in a tiny strip mall, with a tiled floor. It is not fancy. Bring everything you need, because there is no wait-staff, no food, no drinks...nothing available. Honestly to me, that's part of the charm. read more

Had my birthday here and I wish I could give more than five stars!!!!!! Awesome private rooms for intimate gatherings with friends. Will definitely be back! read more

Really cool place you can BYOB which is awesome I wish I had known that when I first went there still had a blast with friends. The staff is very friendly and understanding and willing to stay longer if u have just one more round of Karaoke lol Amazing! read more

For the pricing you are getting what you are paying for, a fun not expensive night out singing until the lights turn back on. There's parking available, it is BYOB and they let you bring food in, the music selection is limited, but still worth the price! read more

$6 per person per hour. Free parking. We ordered pizza from the pizzaria next door, and they deliver it to your room for free. Such a fun and great place to go with a big group of friends. It is a private room with seating area and table. Very chill and fun room. Absolutely loved it. Only sucky thing of this place is their limited song selection... don't get me wrong it has a HUGE song collection, their book had over two hundred pages, but it is majority asian songs and it is hard to find american songs in there giant book. The songs are not updated either so you wont find songs that came out the past two-three years... but its all good. Check out my tip at the tip section on an easier way to find american songs! read more

Volume Up Karaoke - Karaoke Near Me - Edgewater, New Jersey

Fun place to go for a night out with friends other than sitting at a bar. We all suck at singing but it's always a good time.

no no no and no, parking issues, room issues, lack of current songs. The machines were not organized so everything was in korean. Then they didn't even have current music but you have clay Aiken? Never again. Also it's byo everything there is no food services here. read more

Buyer beware, this place is a scam...the front desk was extremely rude and the equipment did not even work.

This place had a decent location and plenty of rooms to get your singing on. That's the good news. The bad news was the room we were given had a foul odor reminiscent of old, stale, kitty litter. That aside, the song lists were solid and the equipment was easy to use. We still had fun probably because enough beer was spilled to mask the stench. I can't say all the rooms were that way but I would probably give this place another try though I would NOT do the same room read more

Good times at this place, just be careful of the nails coming out of the seating. Clean bathrooms and friendly staff!!!!! They have a Pizzeria next door and it's also across the street from Whole Foods. Perks they close at 0500!!!! BOYB read more

I always thought that the city was the place to be for a good karaoke place. That was true until I went to Volume Up! So close to where I live and the customer service is great! They were polite and tended to your needs. The place was ok. It has room for improvement but I don't expect a luxury, ultra modern place for karaoke. We had a lot of fun and will definitely be going back! read more

Had a blast this past Saturday night celebrating my friend's birthday. Nice big comfortable room with seating for about 20/25 ppl and a huge table in the middle. One big screen and 2 smaller screens on the side so everyone was able to see. Loved that it was byob and you can also bring in your own food. A few cons was the dirty bathroom, wish they had someone on top of cleaning it and keeping it tidy and the music selection, wish it was broader and listed by artist. I would def go back! read more

We go here all the time, and have had a couple of parties here. The staff is very nice, the rooms are clean, they have never given us any trouble about bringing food and drinks. The only trouble is the selection of songs, it's really slim pickings if you don't want to only sing pop songs, and it hasn't been updated in probably four years. They need more songs, or we're going to have to go somewhere else to find more ... read more

This is not bad at all, I like the prices. Bring your own food and liquor. I had a good time here. The room size was ok for a group of 10, not that big and not too small. I do have a little problem with the karaoke machine though, it took too long in between songs and also the comercials was eating up our time limit. Overall everything was good. read more

Super fun time here. They have private rooms and they charge you for an hourly not by how many people you have with you. Also it's byob, they also sell some snacks and drinks (non-alcoholic). Great way to do something different. They did have a book with Spanish songs even thought it's not a large selection they did have some good options. The staff let's you be and have fun. read more

My first time ever doing karaoke and let me just say it was amazing. This place is sooo much fun and a great price for what it offers. My friends and I decided to give this a try for my birthday and we are so glad we did. They decorated our room and created our own little bar area. The place is byob, which is great, and as an added plus you can also bring whatever you want to eat as well. We had fun for hours (about 4) and enjoyed ourselves immensely. The best part is that it was so affordable, we each literally paid about $20 (if even). I definitely recommend this place, just make sure to call ahead to reserve a spot because it fills up quickly, especially on the weekends. read more

Go to karaoke place from now on! I am such a huge lover of it and this place delivers. The prices are great and it's byob. They sell bottles of water, juice and soda and even little snacks but no actual food so make sure you eat prior, though there are a bunch of restaurants available. The rooms are huge and incredibly clean. Seriously go here! read more

I took my mom here for her birthday, and had a great time place was nice it was so much fun. My mom really enjoyed it!!!!

Awesome place for any night of fun. Came here to celebrate a birthday. Great music. Good private rooms. Endless selections.

Amazing! This place was so much fun! If you love karaoke you will love this place we got the large room and more than comfortably fit about 17 people and every single one had a great time. We got to bring decoration balloons, wine, champagne, beer and food! The staff were very sweet and helpful and the process was very easy! We will all be back very soon ! Great business read more

I have never heard of this place before until yesterday when I came with some friends. the place was pretty cool and it was pretty fair price wise. I think it came to about $65 for about two hrs for 6 people. not bad. it is bring your own everything. for that cheaper price I could see that. one thing I didn't care for was how it was mostly in Korean. It took us a little while to figure out how to use the screen and all but we got the hang of it. the music videos were all Korean too. read more

The staff is friendly and helpful. It's a great place to spend an affordable night out w friends!

Really great place to have a karaoke party. The prices are reasonable and the song choices are decent.

Place was nice but they only allowed us to have one bottle of liquor. I read reviews beforehand for BYOB I don't understand why they limited us read more

This place is nothing fancy, but is our go-to karaoke place in the area. BYOB, big rooms, and great cheap pricing. Song selection is decent with all the classics, and they do a decent job at adding newer songs. You'll have to search through the songbooks though - no fancy song selection iPads here. I'd much rather come here then pay $$$ for a similar place in the city. read more

When I got there I was told that a reservation was need, that it was graduation time (in February) and that all rooms were full. When I look around there was 2 rooms open. Then I was told they were reserved. When we ask when at what time they were reserved for, the guy responded in 40mins. We asked if we could use the room for the 40mins, he was very adamant and only allowed us to use the room exactly for "40 mins" for $40 dollars. Usually $40 dollar is for one hour. It felt like he did not want my family or I there. He was making ever excuse for us to leave. When we asked when will the next room be available they guy said midnight faster than you can blink, when we arrived at 8pm. Definitely will not go there again, and will find somewhere where my family and I will feel welcomed as a customer! read more

This place is awesome! it's great for a night of singing and dancing, perfect for birthdays! You can bring your own food and drinks...spacious air conditioned room with a sectional couch... two flat screens and a large selection of music. Everyone is guaranteed to have a blast here read more

Rooms are clean and spacious. The song selection leans to Asian and American songs. There is a small section of Spanish music. The bigger the group, the better the prices, and in my opinion the better the overall experience. I would rate 5 stars if they update their song selection. There is a lot of 90s music there, which is great (yay for 90s babies). The latest songs I saw there were from 2010, which isn't bad, but there's is always room to download more songs. read more

I give this place one star. I was there once before my last visit and was pleased but not this time. We were having a lot of fun but the room we were in isnt the one we wanted and was small. The remote barely worked and didnt have a lot of the songs we looked for. It was ALL on in a different language so was very hard to navigate. That is besides the point. As our time can to and end we decided to pay for one more hour. After we payed, all the sudden a MOUSE came running out. We gathered our stuff and told the worker who didnt seem to care at all. We asked for our money and he said no , that he can give us a smaller room! In utter disbelief of what just happened we went into the next room where the remote was worse than the other one and there was ANOTHER MOUSE. our time came to an end and we left. NASTY!!!!!!!!!!! read more

$9 per person for a hour... not busy at all... updated music. but unorganized... will go again.. no questions asked.. they are clean!

you're pretty much just paying for the venue, considering they only charge $5/hr/person if it's a group of 10+. i had made a reservation with them 2 and a half weeks prior to the reserved date, and when the date arrived, they said it wasn't reserved. one of the employees rushed over to open up the venue because it was before the actual hours of operation. all in all, the place was pretty cool and there were 3 microphones so a lot more people could sing. also another plus was that it's great for all ages. downside is that the song selections were very old. it wasn't as updated being that i always go into manhattan and the place has everything computerized and categorized in a very simpler way. also the songs have 2 categorized booklets; 1 under artists and 1 under song titles read more
