    Awesome Karaoke bar!! Each room is so cool and the tech was perfect. My group and I had so much fun

    Industrial suite room

    I wanted to do something different for my 30th birthday this June, and since I love singing, karaoke felt like the perfect way to celebrate! I booked the Industrial Suite at YZ's Karaoke Café and later upgraded to the VIP room after our time was up. Both rooms were super spacious, which was great since I had a group of friends with me. Because it was my birthday, they even sprayed a shot of sake in my mouth (lol)--a fun and unexpected bonus that definitely kicked the night up a notch. I didn't eat much since I was busy belting out songs and sipping drinks, but I did try the dry-rub chicken wings and they were surprisingly good! The karaoke machine took a little getting used to, but once I figured it out, it was game on. My friends and I had an absolute blast. It ended up being such a special and memorable birthday, and I'd 100% come back for another fun night of karaoke. Perfect spot for parties, group hangouts, or just letting loose for the night!

    Stylish room with great karaoke setup. The system is quick and easy to navigate, making song selection a breeze. Service is fast, the staff are very friendly, and the sound system is top-notch. Will definitely come back again

    I came here for the first time a few weeks ago and I will be back! It was so much fun singing karaoke in a private room! The only downfall is the room was pretty warm and we weren't able to cool down. Staff was helpful and responsive when we pressed the service button. We ordered a few drinks that were delicious! They also offer food and bites which I will try next time! They also have a big area where you can hang out at the bar, sit and also sing karaoke.

    YZ's karaoke was a huge hit. I didn't know what to expect, but the karaoke room we rented comfortably fit eight people and once people settled in and got over the karaoke nerves it was a blast. The service was great. There wasn't a massive crowd. Drinks and food were easy to get, and everyone who worked there was friendly. Around 10 o'clock, it becomes a nightclub, but you can still rent the rooms and keep singing if you want. The karaoke rooms were cute. One microphone died, but they fixed it immediately. The best part was that for tons of the music, they played the original music videos, which was absolutely amazing for 90s hits you haven't heard in forever. It gave you that hit of nostalgia with the music videos. Super fun! I would definitely go back again with a group and try out the different themed rooms. We had the industrial room, and it was fun with the theming. I'm curious to see what the others look like. The food we all ordered very basic appetizer stuff- the edamame was good. People seemed to enjoy the popcorn chicken, and they had tons of different beers--many Korean--since the place is a Korean karaoke bar. A lot of the drinks and food have Korean ties. Also I should note they have some NA options for drinks. Overall, a great experience. Will definitely go back.

    It's the best the valley offers for Asian karaoke...since this is really the ONLY place for Asian karaoke. It's located in a strip mall, but there's more than meets the eye. Definitely a place to try outside the typical bar scene, or if you want a more intimate karaoke experience. Make a reservation via DM on Instagram (@yz_karaoke_cafe) or call 4803067779. They offer medium (~10 ppl), large (~20 ppl), and VIP rooms (+20 ppl w private bathroom) - check w them for pricing. Main area has a full bar, tables and booths, and on weekends they usually have a DJ to keep the atmosphere lively. Check-in at the bar, and they'll prepare your room (usually 10-15 min). In medium rooms, we're usually all sitting, with 1-2 people dancing around. Large room is def less cramped (about twice the size of medium room). One slow night, they gave us the VIP room, which was super spacious and great for dancing around. When leaving, stop by the bar to check out so they stop the clock. Food is nothing to write home about, but we usually snack on bites while our room is being prepped, and bring leftovers in after the room is ready. Our go-tos are popcorn chicken, tteokbokki, kimchi fried rice, and beef skewers (although these have been a bit chewy for our molars at times). They provide water and cups. Song selection is fine, and staff will give a short tutorial on how to use the song selection machine (touchscreen, can queue songs). They have pop, rap, country, oldies, etc. for all tastes. The booths are kinda worn and cracked, but the two mics are always charged (complete with little covers), and the sound system is just fine. Overall, 3.5 for the space, food, and karaoke. It's very striking when you exit the building into the empty strip mall, but I always leave knowing I had a ton of fun.

    Is there an age restriction?

    I reserved a room and they did not check IDs for people who were not ordering alcohol, so we had people under 21 present (and not drinking).

    What time does karaoke start?

    Whenever you reserve a room!

    Had a fantastic Wednesday night, and a big reason was our server Max. From the moment we sat down,…read moreMax was friendly, attentive, and genuinely made the experience feel special. The recommendations were spot on, exactly the kind of insider knowledge that makes you feel like you're in good hands. Never had to wait for anything, and Max had a way of checking in at just the right moments without being intrusive. One of those servers who reminds you why going out is so much more than just drink. Will absolutely be back!

But, if you're looking for a really cool bar, KWSC is for you. I stopped by on a week day evening around 8:30 p.m. Located in Roosevelt Row, while there isn't parking, I found free parking on the street a few minutes away on foot. Ambiance (4.5/5): My type of spot. Dimly lit with a speakeasy vibe. There are eight or so seats at the bar, and the rest of your seating options consist of comfortable chairs and sofas. You'll see a lot of photos of people's bums on the walls lol. This is indeed part of the appeal. For free, if you would like, they will take a polaroid of your butt and memorialize you eternally on the walls. While I didn't do that, if that's up your alley, go for it. Service (2/5): This is the main area of improvement. After being seated, I was greeted promptly and got my first cocktail promptly. From there, things fell apart. I had to grab the bartender's attention to order my second drink and to close out. It was a week day and they weren't busy. And there were two bartenders. A lack of attentiveness. When I closed out, I noticed that the cocktails were both $2 more expensive than what was listed on the menu. When I inquired, I was told that the menus were outdated... umm what? If you're not going to re-print your menus, give people a heads-up when they arrive. I understand that most people won't notice, but this is deception. Food (N/A): I was on a liquid diet. If you're trying to eat here, all they have is snacks. The menu doesn't specify but I'm thinking it's probably chips or somethign like that. Drinks (4/5): A lengthy, and interesting, cocktail list. Similar to a speakeasy, you're going to see creativity and an interesting blend of flavors here. The most popular drink is Fuck Nazis. We're seeing a theme here. KWSC is an interesting spot. For various dollar amounts, you can get funny things outside of the polaroids of your bum. My first cocktail was great. My second one, a tiki drink, not so much. The menu said that there would be some flame action happening. It didn't. Just another example of the service falling short. If the service were better, Killer Whale Sex Club would easily be a five-star experience.

    This spot rocks! I went here on a whim as someone at the restaurant I was having dinner at…read morementioned going dancing. So I called the crew and we made our way to meet up out front. Once we got inside, the crowd was here for all the fun and dance of it. My friends and I grabbed a drink and stomped right onto the dance floor with everybody else. I'm not quite sure how to explain the vibe, but it was just 'on one'. Next thing I know we're jumping up and down with the DJ and sweating our assess off. Everybody was so friendly, the bartenders were ready everytime we crawled over, and the music was non stop amazing. I wish I could come here on a regular basis but my poor knees just wouldn't be able to survive the brutality of it all. I can't remember the last time I've been somewhere and the entire crew did not want to leave. Everytime we tried to skip out, the DJ would play an old/new mashup that forced my little dancin' feet right back inside. Do yourself a favor and get yourself on top of this experience. You'll thank me. I promise!

They've been bringing a bunch of cool underground DJs: Satin Jackets, Hot Chip, Sofia Kourtesis, Matthew Dear, Com Truise. Thundercat does all sorts of theme nights: goth, techno, indie dance, yacht rock, karaoke, 80s pop/hip-hop. They also have some really interesting vendors set up shop outside sometimes: food, art, toys and collectibles. Despite the retro look the soundsystem is super high tech and there is a massive LED screen behind the dj with some folks doing live visuals. Cocktails are great and cost as much as anywhere else, though the beer selection could use a little work. Security and staff aren't dicks, which is always nice. Looking forward to the cooler months when I'm sure they'll have djs/art/entertainment outside on the patio.

It was the perfect place to kick off our gay bar bar-hop since it was much more low-key compared to the other spots. The music was so good, the bartender was nice, and the dancer was AMAZINGGGG. We were pretty much the only people there but she was giving us a full show. There was a DJ + a large space to dance, as well as a decent sized outdoor patio. I think it probably gets a little busier as the night goes on, but we still had a lot of fun!

From karaoke nights that turn into full-blown singalongs to the glittering Haus of Davis drag shows, Jimmy's events are where the magic happens. I've been to speed dating, variety shows, even the legendary U-Haul party--and every time, I've felt completely welcomed and part of something special. Jimmy doesn't just throw events--he builds community. His energy, creativity, and care for the people who show up are what make his productions stand out. Whether he's hosting, DJing, or producing, you can count on a night that's fun, inclusive, and full of personality. He also has the voice of an angel singing if you get the opportunity to hear him... such a delight! If you're looking for a space that celebrates individuality and brings people together in the best way possible, go to a Jimmy Davis Music event at Boycott. You'll leave smiling, maybe singing, and definitely wanting to come back for more!!
