CEO Karaoke

The place is ok, however this are my disclaimers: - They didn’t turn on the AC of the room we were in right away, they did it after we had like 30-45 min there. Don’t know if they do it on purpose so you get hotter and had to buy some drinks. - The people working there is nice mostly however, they interrupt us twice, one for a photo for their business which is fine, and another time to ask if we wanted an extra hour, all this just to be at 10:30pm at the door saying that the time is over, when we knew that and where in the middle of the last song, that we weren’t able to finish because of their interruptions. - When they share with you the prices, take into consideration that doesn’t include the taxes, it was my bad for not asking but they should clarify if taxes are included or not. - Instead of providing a system they make you connect though youtube which is practical but makes you loose a lot of time with the ads.

Went there last night because the location was convenient. They will connect your Youtube account with the TV and give you two mics (we asked for more but they said no). So if you don’t have YouTube Premium, you will be stuck with ads between songs. It will cost 103$ for 2 hours. I ordered a bottle of soju, and it was 40$. Then, I asked for a glass of (tap) water, and they said no, you need to pay for a 4$ water bottle… Overall, I had a fun time because I was with my friends, but kinda feel robbed by this establishment. Takeaway: Go to the karaoke on Crescent Street.

I had an incredibly disappointing experience at CEO Karaoke in Montreal. This is not a real karaoke venue—it’s just a room with microphones and YouTube access. Having to search for songs myself, combined with persistent connection issues, made for a frustrating night. To make matters worse, there were unskippable ads between songs, completely killing the vibe. If I wanted to struggle with YouTube karaoke at home, I wouldn’t have paid to be here. The service was just as bad. The owner, Amy, never clearly communicated pricing changes and insisted that tipping was mandatory, even though this was not disclosed beforehand. When I questioned the charges, she muttered that she "didn't have time for this attitude." On top of that, a lot of transactions were handled under the table and weren’t reflected on the receipt, which felt highly suspicious and unprofessional. This place has cut every possible corner while charging premium prices. Drinks are overpriced, there are minimum charges, and prices seemed to change randomly. Between the poor setup, hidden fees, and shady transactions, the whole experience felt like a scam. I strongly advise against going.

We were here for a conference on a Thursday night. Google told us this place was open. We arranged a large group (40+ people) to all go. We arrived and the door was locked. Nobody answered the phone. We wasted time all going there, only to be disappointed. Keeping Google hours accurate isn’t rocket science, the management must be incompetent. I don’t know how I could ever give a worse review because we were unable to even enter the building. We probably would have spent $5,000 or more. What a joke. Learn to run a business

Lots of fun! Even though we are English ;-)

Nice place (though a little bit discreet because it is in the basement). You can hook your smartphone to the TV and play and sing any song of your choice. You can even sing a Mongolian song!

we had the greatest time here - from toronto and frequent loads of karaoke places but this one was sooo awesome and the staff were lovely. will be coming back during my next trip!

Decent private room karaoke. Service was okay, didn't really explain anything. Microphones weren't working at first which got fixed later. Their house song selection isn't great, but you can connect to YouTube but that's only okay if the video has available captions. Still had fun and the price was decent, but I might as well just invite people over for Spotify with lyrics on my TV.

Priced per hour. We ended up staying over 4hours! Its just so fun. The song selection is plentiful except some are written in chinese. Most of the karaoke songs are the original MVs instead of those lame scenery ones. Also has option to chromecast youtube! Not to be missed, except only has drinks NO FOOD.

Be warned that there's a $50 minimum for any group, and that can translate into 2.5 hours of karaoke, 2 hours of karaoke and one drink, etc. As long as you meet the $50 baseline, you're set. LOCATION It's a little difficult to find as it's tucked down an alley in Chinatown, and it's compounded by the fact that you enter what looks like a mini-mall and go down a set of lit-up stairs before reaching it. You'll find it, but it'll take some exploring. I would also be wary of staying out too late, as we were almost jumped several times upon leaving. ***Don't walk on the sidewalks, walk in the middle of the street!!!*** KARAOKE The sound system isn't as good as other karaoke bars I've been to, but it does what you would want it to. They use a Chinese karaoke system, so knowing how to read Mandarin would be helpful when navigating the portal. Since it doesn't have a wide selection of English songs, they Chromecast YouTube to the TV, and you can karaoke from there. Not the most professional, but it does the trick. One thing about the portal system too is that you can't karaoke without the actual artist singing as well, so that was a MAJOR downside for our experience. We asked the owner about it when she came in to check on us, but she said that some songs had the artist singing along and others didn't. You just had to be lucky when choosing the song. We got it to work, though, once by pressing random buttons, but were never able to replicate it afterward. DRINKS If you're looking for good drinks, this is not the place. We shared a Sprite Vodka, and it was worth the price considering it was mostly vodka, but the execution of what we ordered was off. SERVICE The barista/cashier up front was very accommodating in explaining to us how the system worked and resolved any issues should we have any (upping the volume, how to connect YouTube from our phones to the TV, etc. Again, the downside of our experience was that they didn't know how to navigate the system so the artist wasn't singing along with us (which defeats the purpose of karaoke). Unlike other karaoke spots I've been to, the place here was very flexible in regards to timing, and we were able to sing a little longer than our allotted time without penalty. Overall, if you're really itching to sing, this place isn't bad, but other places might be more worth your fancy.

Always has rooms available, very flexible for timing. The drinks are reasonably priced and were with good amount of alcohol. Had a good selection of songs with music videos available ranging from chinese, korean, english songs. Comparable karaoke experience to other areas with more of an east asian community like in Greater Toronto Area. One thing to note is it is $30/hr a small room. Can easily fit 5-10 people. There is a minimum spend of $150 per party. So if you spent 3 hours here you would need to spend $60 on drinks. Just something to note to see if its in your budget, but very reasonable rates The owners were very nice and gave us car freshners as a gift and took a selfie with us. They also had some dice to play with which was a nice bonus

Just spent a wonderful night at CEO karaoke. My daughter and I turned up there on on a lark and had a great time. The people that run it are super nice and helpful. The song list was fantastic. Taylor Swift, Lizzo, Commodores, ABBA. Seems like a best kept secret in town. Am looking forward to returning.

Fun songs to choose from! Have to order a long list of drinks though but if you go with a group the cost is split evenly well!

Place is really nice. It's in the basement under the restaurant Ruby Rouge. Staff is super friendly, everyone is there to hang out and have fun (maybe get drunk too). They are renovating at the moment and will be open in Feb 5. Dunno if they will keep the same prices. They got a lot of different alcohol, music selection is okay (plenty of old school songs as well as chinese songs). What I like about this place is how everybody there are so friendly, met plenty of new people at this karoke.

Montreal's best kept secret. Perfect for an office outing (suitable for office executives) or a night out with your mates. The service is attentive, friendly and treat you like the most important group in the place. Bottle service available. Acoustics help tone-deaf singers bring out their inner pop star.
