HORRIBLE! RUDE EMPLOYEES! AND EXPENSIVE

by EbbiesMom

So we chose Duet 35 for a girls night out, and we were quite underwhelmed. The place is kind of bland, no atmosphere at all. We walked in and had to have our IDs checked (women 28-35) which I thought was a little goofy and unnecessary. Then we were given a small room, which again lacked atmosphere and was kind of uncomfortably small for 5 adults. And it was stifling hot.. took almost 30 minutes for them to adjust the temp (maybe it's a cheap plot to get u to buy their over-priced, small, weak drinks)? The music selection was great and the TV was a nice flat screen. The videos that accompanied the songs were mostly strange asian people running around (i.e not the real video, rather a strange bootleg version) but we laughed it off. Then we were interrupted mid-song by an employee who needed our drink menu to show another group (they only have 1 menu in this place!?!?) then , (note each room has a phone) we were called and given a 10 minute notice at the end, and exactly 10 minutes later we had an employee come to the room and basically make sure we didnt get one extra minute that we didnt pay for..so cheap! No "thank you", no smile just a "get out " look. Then paying the bill (note we had 9 drinks total and NO food and 3 hrs karoke) $200 ! ridiculous price. I examined the bill and noticed that they overcharged us for the room, and charged us for an extra person, The cashier looked so annoyed to have to expend the energy to change the bill. Then, as we tried to get our money together, I noticed her rolling her eyes at us. RUDE! esp when you are shelling out $175 to sing karoke! as we figured out our $, there were 4 employees standing uncomfortably close to us just staring. WTH! So yeah, the only fun we had was self made, and was barely provided by this karoke place. Save your money and go out to a bar or club. This place is a RIP OFF!

Best Karaoke

by flaca1987

I reserved this place recently for my 23rd bday, I wanted to do something different and fun for everyone. So I booked this location before booking i had gone to several other karaoke spots i tell you honest truth they were all crappy and limited and expensive acting as if they were a comdey club with 2 drink minimum. Duet 35 was great we had a huge room it was very well equipped everything worked. We had a huge book to choose songs from which was a great selection they even had spanish in particularly reggeaton, Which was a huge plus for me. The staff was great never bothered us for one thing they just let us know that we had 10 mins left. They also have a great cool feature a phone in the room and you order anything you want from there. I reccomend this place highly we had a blast and will for sure return. Only downfall were that the drinks were watered down and you cant bring any from outside. Every else gets an A+.

by Leanika

I went last minute with a few of my friends. when we told them it was a friends birthday we were treated with some extras and even when we broke a glass, they handled everything with a smile. the privacy was excellent and cozy, the price was just right, and I can't wait to go back

  • Pros: excellent service despite late hours
  • Cons: can't actually think of any

We are coming back for everyone's birthday!!!

by bkwrm619

I booked a room for 10 people for my best friend's bachelorette party. When we got there, there was still another group there and we had to wait 10 minutes past our reservation time. But they gave us the extra 10 minutes at the end so there were no problems. We had a huge room with lots of room to dance and move around. We ordered chinese food from outside and they delivered straight to our room. The room was very clean. The song list was amazing...they had everything we wanted. We all agreed that we will all come back to Duet 35 for all of our birthday parties! What a great place and great experience!

  • Pros: HUGE rooms, great service, can bring in outside food

Fun Times

by NoemiRockz

I had a birthday party here. We had our own private room and you can bring food/snacks, so thats pretty awesome. And there a telephone in the room that puts you thru directly to the bar... how awesome is that!? It gets a little stuffy in the room sometimes if you have a crazy crowd. So ask them to keep the air on.

  • Pros: Private Rooms
  • Cons: 8 bucks per hour per person... YIKES!
