Theme House restaurant & karaoke

"Starts at: $50/hour Sun-Thurs with a two-hour minimum, $65/hour Fri-Sat with a three-hour minimum for up to eight people Looking for a karaoke spot that has big private rooms, a great song selection, good food, and solid prices can feel like trying to solve a jigsaw puzzle, while blindfolded, using only your feet. But it’s not an impossible task—at least as long as Chinatown’s Theme House is around. With enough people, it can be as cheap as $12 per person for two glorious hours of singing everything from Johnny Cash to NewJeans. Their “small” private rooms are massive and would cost an inhumane amount of money if they were for rent in a River North apartment (they even have larger ones that can fit 35 people). Plus, a server will show up with just the push of a button, so you can order tasty Chinese dishes like garlic eggplant and roast pork directly to your room to fuel your evening serenade." - john ringor, nick allen
