A few of my friends at work thought this would be a great spot to go to for my birthday. We all went, bought an insane amount of saki and sung it out. The song selections seem to be the basic stuff you have heard on the radio, or better yet, something that all your friends could recall. This worked well in my group because we all sang out loud to each others songs! It's a pretty tight space, but it was great that we got there early on a Friday night and took over the entire sitting area by the window. It was about 12-14 of us there. I think its great if you go with a bunch of people you know, but I could see it being kind of corny if you go alone... The food was pretty yummy, no complaints there. And I think the prices are fair.
Pros: 1.50 per song, Fair prices for food/drink
Cons: Small space, Don't go if you're looking for a karaoke stage

I've been to a lot of bars in the city, and more then a few kareoke bars, and I have to say honestly, this is one of the worst ever. The song selection is terrible. Then the service. Where do I begin? Horribly rube. A male bartender actually tried to start a fight with me. The management is only concerned with one thing, getting the customers in and out. Unfortunately, they let you smell it. This is your worst nightmare of a kareoke bar (or at least mine), avoid at all costs.
Pros: none
Cons: bad song selection. horrible service
