Rockin till 4am

by chinina14

I stay at Encore until it closes; there's always a fun and diverse crowd and the service is on point. It's unbelievable how many talented singers rock the house. I take all of my friends here and they all leave drunk and happy... It's a great place to take out-of towners, locals, anyone who loves to rock out...

Bartenders hog the karaoke stage

by west50s

I knew there was a reason why I liked the private karaoke rooms. You actually get to hear your friends sing! We put in karaoke song requests at 11:30pm and they did not come up even when we left after 2:30am! And this was not because the place was packed or that a lot of people were waiting. The guy who was manning the karaoke list kept on putting his bartender buddies (who were busy belting out showtune favorites rather than serving drinks) on stage. Most of the staff could have been high school theatre dropouts for all anybody knew. Not to mention the guy had a tipping jar but paying didn't get your song played either. On top of all that, the drinks were beyond weak, especially considering the prices! This place sucked ridiculously and there's nothing that could induce me to go back there.

• Pros: No cover
• Cons: Weak drinks, Terrible service

Nothing Holds A Candle To This Place

by mattweinstein

I spend as much time here as I can. I come here till 4am then back for breakfast. I wont go anywhere else in fact, and my friends all get mad at me for it. You can find me on those karaoke mics any night of the week....

Encore.. Do you want more??

by jasonbonk

The answer to that is yes. This place is by far the most fun kareoke/rock bar in manhattan. I practically live at this place. The owners and management are great and the crowd is all around fun. If you are looking for somewhere new to go in NY.. Encore is the spot.
