Voix is nicer than most, if not all of the Karaoke bar's that I've been to in Center City Philadelphia with all of the convenience of location to Northeast Philadelphia. From what I can tell they took their time renovating the building and it really shows.
One enters the venue with coat check to your left (for the colder months) and ample foyer space for a queue, if necessary, and ID check. Once inside, the bar opens up to your left with bar seating along the granite countertop, and well as high top seating to your right surrounding smaller tables. If you have a private karaoke room, those would be upstairs on the second floor, but the general lounge continues through double doors past the bar.
My friends and I had visited specifically for the Lunar New Year Celebrations so we had a couple of drinks prior to the beginning of the festivities. The drinks were reasonably priced for both drafts and mixed drinks (I literally hate when places charge you an arm and a leg for a shot, it's ridiculous). They handed out Lucky Red Envelopes to all guests which had varying prizes of cash, free drinks, or goodie bags to be distributed at a later time. Super cool for a door prize!
We ventured upstairs to check out the accommodations for the private rooms and we were very impressed! The hallway leading to the rooms has lasers and lights coming from the ceiling paired with fun lite up walkways as well. Very upscale and very instagram worthy. The room were spacious and vary in size-- the ones that we popped into looks to fit between 6-10 people, but I read on their website that they have larger rooms for parties of
15-25 as well, which sounds like an ultimate jam session.
Later that evening when the party started to get going, we ventured into the main lounge to dance to the set of their DJ amidst their laser display. There are tables in the center of the room as well as lining the sides for rent. We ended up getting a table with bottle service and it was a BLAST. The bartenders came out with fireworks and a light up ice bowl to keep our bottle cold. It was wild, we had so much fun, such a great VIP experience.
Overall I cannot wait until we return to Voix to do some karaoke in the future. We had such a great night and all of the bartenders, promoters, and staff were so lovely and made us feel like we were the only ones there when in reality they were entertaining a room full of people. It seems like they genuinely care about each of their client's experiences, which is amazing to see for this new business. Can't wait to see what the future holds of Voix!
