I'm not sure what all the hype is about...

by BuddhaGirl at Citysearch

We were invited to a party here. My first thought when I saw the dimly lit neon sign above the pizza place below is "Okay...not sure we're at the right place..." When we entered the building, we first saw the creaky, stained carpeted staircase and a sign with scrolled writing saying, "Please use the stairs to get to Ibop" which is on the second floor. To be honest, the interior looks like a cross between an old unrenovated apartment and a youth hostel. From the peeling paint to the uncomfortable chairs, it was not impressive. I don't think the design was even considered here, just space. Sure, karaoke is always fun I guess but I didn't see this as any different from any other karaoke experience. Per couple, we paid $60 which made my jaw drop. I usually am pretty forgiving, especially since the staff seemed nice, but overall I wouldn't recommend this place.

  • Pros: BYOB, nice staff
  • Cons: unsightly decor, expensive, not easy to find

GREAT PLACE FOR KARAOKE!!!!

by AnthonyA at Citysearch

This place was AWESOME!!! I was real scared when I booked this place because I have never seen or been to it. I relied solely on the reviews, which were all DEAD-ON. The place was soooooooo sketchy when walking up to the karaoke room. Once you walk through the door though it becomes totally legit. Just get through the hallways and make your way inside for some fun. Joshua was the man, he hooked us up with Ice, cups, plates, forks, knives. The sound system was RIDICULOUS! The best thing about this place is that they have every song that you could imagine and of course the BYOB feature. I spent under $200 on bottles of grey goose, beer, and tequila. There is no comparison to this place!

  • Pros: BYOB
  • Cons: No Cons....

Best Karaoke

by trouble9111 at Citysearch

If you're looking for a great night of karaoke, iBop is the place to go. So much so that when they were booked the night we wanted to go, we changed our date. Between the song selection, the private rooms and the BYOB you can't go wrong. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. Our party got a little too big for the room we had, and the staff gave us a bigger room without us even asking. The BYOB allows you to make your own party. I have discovered my inner karaoke diva at iBop!!!!

  • Pros: BYOB, song selection, staff
  • Cons: none

BYOB, great music selection, spacious rooms!

by raajkumari at Citysearch

I've been to ibop a bunch of times and have never been disappointed. The music selection is amazing - better than any other place. The rooms are big and comfortable. The bathrooms are clean. And it's BYOB - you can't beat that! The owners don't get there until after 6, so call then. You may get a voicemail, but keep calling until you get through. While this may seem annoying, it's fine. Just keep calling until you get through. If you're in the 34th street area, stop by to make the reservation. The owners and super nice and they have the cutest dog. They give you ice so you don't need to bring that. If you want a Friday or Saturday reservation, call a few weeks in advance. The price is also very reasonable - $7 per person, per hour. iBop is great - you'll have the best time!

  • Pros: BYOB, great music selection, nice owners
