The staff is pretty chill and they have rooms of all different sizes, but they get booked up way in advance so be sure to plan ahead. You can order drinks straight to the room. The song selection can be disappointing if you're accustomed to the vast range of NYC's KTown but it gets the job done! There's a public bar area for dancing and drinks for pre/post party shenanigans if you so please. Also, since Duke of Tokyo is on Reguliersdwarsstraat (the most famous Dutch gay street!) you will absolutely have a lot of options around the area for all night dancing.

I sung a lot of songs my first night, and then sung one the second night I came. For some reason, you can't sing "A Whole New World" from Aladdin. She said not enough people knew it. I said, who hasn't seen that movie as a child growing up? To no avail. So you'll have fun for the most part but you might run into a song they won't let you sing. Why put it into the system if you're not gonna let me sing it? She also refused to queue up "Juicy" by Biggie Smalls. What's wrong with Disney and Notorious B.I.G.?

But the bar is advertised to be karaoke, and that's why I came - and was let down severly. As others have written, you're not allowed to sing until you spend some amount of money. Others said 5€, I've spend 5 and got two tickets to sing (one for me, one for my girlfriend). Weird system, but fair enough I guess. But the microphones! Stunningly beautiful, classic look... And absolute garbage, or set up that way. It didn't pick up your voice unless you literally kissed it while singing. Even 5cm would be to far away. In the hour I spend there, only one person managed to be heard throughout the song, with most never getting close enough. Also, there's no lyrics behind the stage. So if you don't know the lyrics to a song by heart you have to pick between watching the stage and reading lyrics. Deeply annoyed by the high financial demand to sing and the inability to hear anyone, I stopped caring about the very short wait to sing and left. Won't be coming back.

The context: We went with a reasonable group, about 20 people. Dinner and a total of 6 hours of karaoke booked. The good: - quick response from a booking perspective - decently organized and opening on time(ish) - decent food. Its a 20 euro dinner at a karaoke bar, don't expect a piece of excellent meat, there is a reason they serve burgers and spareribs - Flexible to allocate groups and people, billing, etc. Ample options on how to handle things - Yes, the karaoke is geared towards Chinese. And the search function doesn't work well. But they try to make it work and provide some good options with a USB. Tip: just add more content to the USB for your western customer base. Take the Top 2000 list or something. (some comments refer to bad food. Its not "bad", it's just more a bar with food options than a real restaurant). The bad: - Staff is just simply not up to standard in terms of attitude. Do they to what they should? yes. But the bare minimum. They have an attitude of being there cause the have to, its the grind. One group out, next one in, rinse and repeat. Now, in the hospitality industry a good place will manage to convey a feeling of care and gratitude. to their customers. Ginger does not. At least not the staff we encountered. The Ugly: - Independently, several members of the group had strong suspicion of tampering with the drinks! In more detail: -- Some had a bad feeling regarding the cocktails. They tasted "diluted". You might say, well, cocktails are made differently in different places. And I agree. -- However, other members order the same out of bottle drink (lets say a whiskey, or some other liqueur) for for over ten years (really obsessed one could say). They know how it tastes to the finest detail. That's why they always order it! But at Ginger? it tastes different. It tastes *diluted*. When not one, but multiple of these instances happen the same night, the same place, with different people, you have to ask some questions. Is it a bartender trying to skim a bit on the side? maybe trying to save a few bucks? or did they just buy some cheap off brand stuff and put in the same bottle? We all know the tricks. The point is if you have to *think* about these things is enough reason already to not go back. Personally, I wouldn't recommend going here until management has looked into this and publicly addressed these concerns.
