Super duper fun! Back in early August, my friends and I visited Live K Karaoke as part of a bachelorette weekend celebration. We found Live K from on a simple Google search and then a review of their Instagram page. One of the ladies in our group made the reservation online about a month in advance. I'm not sure if that much time is required but it's what we did. On the evening of our reservation, we went thru security then found the customer service desk and checked in. Within minutes, we were escorted to a personal room. Live K is very lively and modern. You have the flexibility to book a private room or enjoy the main area. The main room features a full bar, lots of LED lights, and a great mix of music. There is a huge screen on one side of the room where folks can make a request for songs and then sing in front of the crowd. It was quite packed by the way. Don't expect to sit down if you don't find a seat at the bar. The crowd was a vibe though! Everyone enjoying themselves and singing along with whatever song played. The age range seems to be between 21 to 55 years old, all enjoying themselves in harmony.
Upon entering our room, our server introduced himself, provided menus, and gave us an orientation on how to navigate the karaoke system. Our reservation covered a small room for 2 hours. We had room K13. It was about 8 of us and we were able to sit comfortably. The room has a comfy plush couch and dining table. There were some outlets around, so were could charge up our phone or other electronics. It was a hot evening but it seemed cool in the room and there was a fan available. There is a large flat screen TV at the front of the room. The setup allows you to read the words from that screen as a group or individually. There is also a medium sized TV above the couch, you can read the words from there while you stand in front our your party, which makes it feel like a real performance. In regards to the karaoke system, they have placed it in corner space of the room, almost like a station because everything you need is there including multiple cordless mics, a computer to make selections, and a fun wheel game (we did not use it). There seems to be an actual karaoke program to choose songs from or you can go onto Youtube. The youtube option was great and more familiar, but the system was wonky. We would cue a selection but when it was time to play, the system would skip it over. At times we had to add the song twice. Once for it to skip over and then play the second cue. Not sure why that happened but we made it work. Over the 2 hours we sang numerous songs, ordered a host of drinks and food and just enjoyed our time. It felt like a personalized party room. The sound system was great and the light effects enhanced the experience. On top of that, we had free range to be as loud and fun as we wanted to be. In terms of the food, I only had truffle french fries and a soft drink, both were good and reminiscent of elevated bar food. The overall menu itself seemed to be a fusion of American and Asian cuisine. They offer snacks as well as small portions and entree servings along with bar drinks and cocktails. Our server was kind and attentive. He always checked in and provided our requests within a timely manner. Once the time was up, he gave us the option to extend or leave the room. We decided to see what the main room was about.
As mentioned earlier, the main room features a full bar and a space to perform. It was rather crowded, so it felt more like a party in a bar. People would order a song then go up and sing. Most of the selections were Rap/Hip-Hop and R&B. Everyone would chime in and sing the song like drunk cousins lol. Sounds crazy but it was fun. Please note, there might be a long cue before they get to your song, so hang tight and drink up. Eventually we decided to leave as we were tired, so one of my friends missed her opportunity to sing because the cue was long.
Above all, we had a great time. Live K Karaoke gave us the experience we had hope for and the bride enjoyed herself immensely. I'd definitely return and I highly recommend to others.
