Live K Karaoke

I found this place on IG and immediately started planning this experience for hubby and I including our closest friends for a good ole time for our birthday's. I booked online to reserve a small room to accommodate 10-12 guest. Parking is definitely tight so plan to get there at least 15mins early. While we waited we got some drinks at the bar. The room was ready in about 10 mins of our arrival. The food options were great and everyone enjoyed it. We sang so many songs from so many different genres. It was soooo much fun. We were in the room for about 2hrs and we could have definitely stayed longer to continue to sing all of our songs and eat. I will most definitely return for this super fun experience. A must try for sure

First review of 2025! Wish it was better. This is a karaoke spot at the Wharf, now the third karaoke spot in town that offers a communal lounge with private rooms to rent in advance, after Wok and Roll in Chinatown and Muzette in Adams Morgan. I had high hopes, and while they are ok, they are clearly the bottom choice. Bottom line: they have the worst song selection, the worst service, and the highest prices. A triple threat.We booked for 2 hours, which is their minimum for a room. Despite arriving on time, we were given our room 10 minutes late, though as our time started drawing close to the end, we were not offered to stay 10 minutes so we could have the 2 hours we paid for, instead multiple servers came in to give updates as to how much time was left. One main reason for my low review is staff was pretty rude on the whole.Another major issue, though, is their music system. It is horrible, the song selection is embarrassingly bad, forcing you to rely on youtube searches for many if not most of your choices - and youtube may not have karaoke friendly versions with backing vocals or lyrics. Much lower quality systems here compared with the competition. Also, I never thought I'd say this, but after visiting here, I realize I actually like the free tambourines the other guys put in the rooms. Adds to the character of a karaoke spot. I'll end with a positive note. They offer food that is much better than the competition. They have a lot of options, so while we did not have a full meal here, you could if you wanted. We just had truffle fries, and while the picture on the menu didn't suggest this, they were actually waffle fries, and they really hit the spot. If you come, I would recommend trying some snacks.Price is $68 per hour for a small room plus mandatory tax and tip, so for the 2 hour minimum booking, it was roughly $174 with tax and tip (not including food and drink). For comparison, two hours at Wok and Roll with tax and tip costs $104 (for 5 or fewer people), plus they have a much better music system, slightly better drink selections, tambourines, and are literally on top of a metro station.

It's a fun place if you enjoy karaoke. We enjoyed karaoke in the main room because it was a long wait for the karaoke rooms to become available. In the main room (which is like the lobby area) you can request songs to be played for karaoke. It was definitely packed in there when I went so be prepared for a crowd and there is not much seating available in the main room so wear comfortable shoes lol.

My first time going to this location and my first time in a private karaoke room and I loved it!We made reservations online for a party of 6 in a small room. Upon walking to the front of the establishment, we were carded, bag-checked and told to proceed inside until the rest of the party arrived. We had the option to extend beyond the 2 hours, but we chose to stay within the allotted time. The interior was dark, but very sleek and classy, it set the mood to sing our hearts out. After entering the room, an employee explained how to search for songs and which button to push for service. They provided a large bottle of water and plastic cups, but also had food and drinks available for ordering. We did hear the music from the next room, but it didn't bother us. The service was terrific and we truly enjoyed ourselves. They do a great job maintaining the rooms, the bathrooms, and just the overall entire place! The room was paid at the beginning, but we received individual checks for our own drink/food purchases.We have the following options when booking the room. -Small room: 10 guests, $68/hr-Medium room: 15 guests, $98/hr-Large room: 20 guests, $128/hr-VIP large room: 25 guests, $168/hrA few things to note: -The price is per hour (with a 2-hour minimum) and based on the room size. There is a DC tax, service fee and gratuity. They did offer to extend our time at an additional cost, but we said no.-There were packaged disposable covers for the microphones, but we didn't see them until halfway through. -There are overhead lights if needed. -They do allow people under age 21; however, the person booking the room must be present for them to enter. There is a bar available to anyone carded in the "lobby"/entrance. There is also an open karaoke stage available...I believe at no cost. There is paid street parking and parking garages near by. Would I return? Maybe, only because I rarely go to DC.

We had an amazing time at this karaoke bar! it's a lively spot with lots of singing, dancing, and great vibes. The food is on the pricier side but still good--we had wings and skewers, and everything came out quickly. The only drawback is that while most songs are easy to find on youtube, you have to type "lyrics" before the song name to get the version with lyrics. Overall, we had a blast! the private rooms let you control the a/c, lighting, and call an attendant. be sure to arrive on time. The live room was also fun and energetic, packed with people enjoying themselves. We'll definitely be back! they do check id at the entrance.

I came here for a friend of a friend's birthday and had the best time! When you enter it's packed party with people singing and loud music. The private rooms are located in the back. They have an extensive track list and some of the songs listed were surprising to me as they were quite newer. The attendant would come when he was called in a timely manner. I would definitely return for a night out with friends.

My cousin celebrated her birthday here and it was so much fun! We had a medium sized room with 6 people and it was the perfect size for our group (wouldn't recommend the medium for more than 6 or 7 people because we were just perfectly comfortable)The food is a bit pricey, so we opted for dinner elsewhere, but did order the wings which were actually really good,The service was great. It was pay as you go and they came fairly quickly once the button was pressed in the room.Now...I wasn't a fan of the pat down I received upon entry but I guess it's better safe than sorry. Definitely a younger crowd in the main section so would definitely opt for a smaller room when hanging with friends. Book in advance, bring a fun group and enjoy!

This place was super cool. I visited this past Saturday w family friends to celebrate a birthday, and it was as the youngins say... giving !! LolThis place was super easy to locate. Great signage. Underground kinda costly, yet convenient and safe parking. Once we arrived on the premises, we had to wait in line for a short wait. They check ID'S, etc. Our start time for a karaoke room was 8pm. We were taking in at 8:07pm.I'll start w the pros. * Nice sized rooms.* Our initial host who came into our room to explain everything was great. Great personality and sense of humor. * Great music catalog selection w and w/o words.* Great food and beverage options.* Surprisingly, delish food w great portion sizes.* Super fast and hot food delivery. Now to the cons. * The in room air conditioner was not working at it fullest. It was haawwwttt.* The floor had plenty of obvious food crumbs from all the previous folks that day. * They have us 1 menu for 8 people. We didn't even receive a QR code to scan.* The food order taker took at least 15-20 minutes to take the order. That time is still deducted from room paid time. I asked her 4 times if gratuity was included, but there was no response. I later found out it WAS included. She was tipped twice. NOT COOL. I would surely visit again. I would review the food menu in advance, and encourage other attendees to do the same. This place is a great concept and well needed in this neighborhood.

My #1 tip for this karaoke spot is to book a reservation as soon as possible. My friends and I popped in on a random Saturday night and it would be hours before we could get a private room for 8 of us. We ended up just enjoying the bar area which actually wasn't that bad. They allow you to sing your heart out in this area and it was really fun. We were singing Avril Levigne one minute and then Fantasia the next minute lol. I thought the drink selection and food options were decent. Most of their items are fried. I'm looking forward to coming back and actually doing a private room with friends because they definitely look like the nicest in DC.

Came here for a casual hang out with my friends. Great ambience. Not to mention there are plenty of parking spaces around. Judy and Sushan took care of us, they're awesome! 10/10
