Editorial Review for Planet Rose – by Karen Hudes
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. (Mixed drinks are very reasonably priced.) Early in the night, the sparsely populated room has an air of Berlin decadence fused with Tokyo pop and American cheese. Hipsterish East Village patrons show their game side on the mobile microphone, boosted by the participation of rousing bartenders.

Planet Rose is hands-down the funnest karaoke bar in the city, with superfriendly bartenders and regulars, and strong-ass drinks! The floating microphone makes it more comfortable to sing if you're on the shy side, and lets you work the room if you're not. Sunday and weeknights are my favorite. If you go on a weekend night it's a good idea to try to get there and get your songs in early (cause do the math, there can only be 12 or so songs an hour); it's less crowded earlier, and during happy hour (when drinks are half-price), so you're the star of the show -- and songs are free. I heart Planet Rose!
Pros: Friendly, fun atmosphere; great hook-up spot; awesome karaoke song selection.
Cons: None!
