Had a lot of fun here for a group outing. We were a walk in party and was able to get a 10+ table for just a $10 cover charge. They do not sell food but allow you to bring in outside food from surrounding places. We had a blast but there was a disappointment. Around 10:30PM the karaoke rotation became unfair. We had guest that didn't get to perform, and the DJ chose people that came waayyy after we did so we left. So, keep that in mind. Check the reviews, there is others with the same issue. Other than that it was cool vibes!
After 10 the queue is not real. If you don’t know the dj he will move you down the queue in favor of others that he knows or pays him. I was there when the bar opened at 8. It was very chill and nice. But something changes around 10/11. Suddenly songs you request never come up. People who just walk in will have a song immediately. Here’s the thing. Just be honest about it. If it’s pay for play then say so.
Nightingale hosted my b-day party, and from first contact through the event, Lisa and the entire team here were super responsive, accommodating and professional. I booked their private room 2 with a 5pm start (before normal business hours) and it accommodated my 20+ guests quite nicely. From the moment I arrived through setup, the staff regularly checked in to see if any help was needed, and one of the kind staff members even helped me unload supplies from my car. The Karafun and sound system in the private room were great. Another cool unexpected feature was that I could control the thermostat in the room, which was helpful as more guests arrived. All in all, my guests and I had an absolute blast, and I can’t wait to host next year’s birthday here!
Overall, this is a great space to have a karaoke party or karaoke night out. The staff are attentive and friendly, the facility is well-run (with GREAT AC) and the systems are really good for singing your heart out to your favorite banger or ballad. I would just advise on planning your parking beforehand so as to avoid hassle, since like most of Midtown, the parking is minimal and paid. Also, did not see any food on the menu FYI
A great spot for Karaoke. We had a private room and had plenty of space. The equipment was good. Drinks were decent but service can be a bit slow as they only had 2 bartenders.
