"Starts at: $60/hour Mon-Thurs, $75/hour Fri-Sun with a two-hour minimum for up to eight people Tak’s private rooms have good sound systems and an up-to-date song list, which means everyone can show off what they’ve been practicing in their car while being stuck during rush hour. But the true highlight is the great Korean food—this basement South Loop spot is more of a restaurant that happens to have good karaoke rooms. Which means that even if you’re not in the mood to attempt Mariah Carey’s whistle tones, you can still have a fun time eating tender bossam or comforting budaejjigae, nursing a beer tower, and shaking a light-up tambourine. And though the song-selection device is in Korean, there’s a helpful translation sheet plus a tutorial from the staff." - john ringor, nick allen
