What People Are Saying About Planet Rose

This karaoke hideaway has that small, local charm to it, even though the yards of animal-print upholstery doesn't exactly scream down to earth. Speaking of screaming, the karaoke scene at Planet Rose is laidback, fun, and all-inclusive, even the bartenders get involved. The brave, or more likely, drunk, performers don't even have to leave their barstool, the bartender will bring the wireless mic to the singer. (Talk about the diva treatment.) If bartender Missy is around she'll make you her signature flaming shot, which is appropriately called "Missy Likes to Set Things on Fire." Planet Rose…

The Scene – Past the steel-doored exterior displaying a large red velvet rose, a sense of departure sinks in. It could be the bar's windowless design and lair of zebra-print couches, the blond belting out "Physical" on the mic or just a profusion of rabbit ears (if Scotty the Blue Bunny's in the house). Lyric monitors keep eyes aimed high, though the promise of fleeting inhibitions and impending group bonding is palpable. – – The Draw – Guests tend to gather in the later hours, since karaoke usually works best with a slightly drunk clientele.

Best bar in the entire city
by msblonde65 at Citysearch
My boyfriend and I have been going to Planet Rose for almost 2 years now and we have yet to find a karaoke bar equal to it. We always bring our friends, have large parties here, and every time its a blast. The owners are wonderful people who take the time to get to know their "locals", but are still kind to new people. I have yet to experience them being "rude" to anyone and we've been going there forever! The sound equipment is great, so often microphones are horrible and you can never hear yourself in karaoke bars, but this bar has top notch equipment and about a million songs. We love the bartenders and go out to this bar every chance we can get. In addition, Artichoke pizza is nearby, so it is sure to be a fun night out!! I recommend Planet Rose for a date, group of friends, or party at anytime!
- Pros: Amazing bartenders, great location, excellent sound
- Cons: None

This place is horrible!
by ShaneStalone at Citysearch
I paid $2. for a song, had 3 drinks, waited 2 hours and never got to sing. I saw people come in well after me sing before I got up. I saw several people sing 2 and 3 times. I eventually got my $2. back and left. I will never step foot in this dump again.
- Pros: They give you your money back when you leave in disgust.
- Cons: Everything else.

Planet Rose is all around a fun place to hang out with friends or host a party. By the end of the night, the leopard print will grow on you, as will the guy singing show tunes. Then again, that's probably just the liquor speaking. - Shecky's Review
