"The Wharf’s next-level karaoke bar debuted in December with 11 tricked-out entertainment rooms to rent out. The 6,000-square-foot, maze-like marbled venue lets crooners order food and drinks right from their room via touch pad or saddle up to its onyx bar up front, where karaoke occurs too. Liquid courage comes in the form of big cans of ice-cold Sapporo and large-format draft cocktails, with Japanese street snacks like takoyaki, gyoza, spicy honey barbecue wings, grilled meat skewers, beef donburi, noodle soups, and truffle fries. Rooms fit 10 to 40 and start at $68 per hour (no minimum spend)." - Tierney Plumb, Adele Chapin
