I visited Karaoke Box last night with a few of the Yelp Birmingham crew and was not disappointed…read more The many themed rooms make it hard to decide which space you want to use and cater to parties of three right up rooms that could easily take twenty. The rooms themselves are all comfortable with good karaoke equipment including wireless mics, touch screen tvs to select the music and large screens to display the lyrics to your chosen songs......obviously I could not resist a few diva number with Whitney and Cher being firm favourites from myself and Adam S! One really good thing about this place is that the bar prices are pretty standard and what you would expect from a normal bar/pub in the area. Usually places like this have stupidly high bar prices so that was pretty refreshing....and very welcome! If you are looking for a good night out with the boys, girls or whoever I would recommend heading to Karaoke box.....this place would be 100% perfect for birthdays, hen do's or people just looking for something that little bit different on the weekend :)

You aren't doing it right if your night out on Broad Street doesn't end with Chris Cornell-esque…read moreshredded vocal cords, hearing loss, and at least one video of you on Facebook doing something embarrassing. Fortunately I was able to tick off all of these at a recent Yelp Social event at Karaoke Box. The nascent venue is located off Broad Street in the Regency Wharf area. The space opens to a bar that stocks a moderate selection of beer and cider, several wines, and spirits. There is plenty of room in this lobby to hang out with friends while waiting on everyone to arrive. The Karaoke Box is laid out with two hallways, with private rooms on each side. Unlike pub karaoke, the only audience here is those you choose to witness your shame. Each room carries a theme, some that repeat on either hallway. The grand dame of the box is their large London Underground themed room that can fit a sizable crowd. Karaoke here is state-of-the-art, with lyrics displayed on large LED screens set into the wall. A control panel allows for the selection of songs. Their library is very comprehensive, and while lacking in the latest top 100, has pretty much any song from the naughts and before worth singing. Up to two mics work in each room, and vocal controls help disguise my crow like crooning. The venue hosts a limited food menu where you'll find a lot of fried from frozen snacks. Honestly, I would suggest eating before or after, as the foods are a bit overpriced and not too tasty. The bar prices are somewhat reasonable depending on what you order. Basic beers and wines are a value, but steer clear of the liquor. My time spent at the Karaoke Box was some of the most fun I've had in Brum so far this year. The prices to rent each room may cause sticker shock, but they aren't too bad when split evenly amongst friends. Overall, Karaoke Box is definitely worth a second look.

I was holding some coats standing near the door and saw some darts on the table near the dart bord…read more While my girlfriend was in the toilet i wondered the follow things. 1) If i use one of the darts, is whoever owns the darts going to see and be mad 2) This place looks unfinished 3) I wonder how long it would take to kill my self with a dart 4) The bar tender looks 10 years old, i wonder if hes standing on a box behind the counter to be able to see over the surface. I took a walk around the bar area and was shocked at how small it was overall, everyone was outside and i started to wonder if they all came into the pub its self, would they all fit. From the outside it looks promising, the inside needs a lot of work. We decided not to stay for a drink and left.

I recently had a disappointing experience with Royal One Karaoke Bar in Birmingham that I feel…read morecompelled to share. I called to request a karaoke room for eight people for a birthday celebration on behalf of a Chinese partner on the 16-10 at 18:24. When I first called, a lady answered the phone and upon hearing an English accent she passed the phone to a gentlemen. I explained clearly the date and number of people wanting to book the room. Almost immediately, I was told they were fully booked and no rooms were available for the chosen date (18-10 at 2100) I accepted this at the time. However, I had a gut feeling that they hadn't checked availability and had automatically said they're full due to my being an English person so I had to break the potential surprise plans to my partner and had asked them to call up and request a room for the same date and time, they called shortly after and little to my surprise and a conversation held in Mandarin, the room was booked without a problem. This made me feel like because I was speaking in English, I was not given the same level of service or respect. The difference in treatment because of language or perceived ethnicity feels discriminatory and racist. It is unacceptable to deny service or mislead customers based on such factors. I simply wanted to make a booking to make a loved one happy, but this experience has left me very upset and disappointed with the Royal One Karaoke Bar. I hope the management takes this complaint seriously and addresses the unacceptable treatment I experienced

If your idea of the perfect party is a private affair where you and your friends can get drunk and…read moresing out of tune, then China Court Karaoke is the place for you. This place has a selection of private booths up for hire which accommodate large groups, meaning you can mark special occasions in individual style. I'm aware some people detest karaoke, I am not one of those people and I love the whole concept of this place, although I did miss the familiar feeling of embarrassment as I howled away in front of friends rather than a room full of strangers. They have a great selection of cocktails here, on top of the fact that they are open all week long and until five in the morning, so the party needn't stop too early. This place is quite simply great fun, so don't miss out!

This is a slice of history for you, the pubs recently been taken over by a brewery which is cool but it means there is no charity rock concert(night of the dog) anymore which raised 7 grand two years ago fo air abulance lookily the piss up money made almost entirely from alcohol sales of 800 or so people, none of them had to be air lifted to hospital!!!! if people are thinking am going off on a tangent the pub helped put the show together by providing the beer and cider and other intoxicating liquids The pub is a meeting place for locals or at least it used to be, rock night on a friday would cram the place full and bring in people from as far a feild as ashborne and uttoxetor to get a peice of the classic, somtimes heavy metal rock bands, blues acoustic sets! !!! the bands played in the glass house or conservatory which was later sound proofed to stop one set of neighbours being arses, I mean its not the pubs fault they couldnt sell there house as it was next to the pub, ha ha The glass conservatory was also used for functions such as weddings, other organised drinkings, sunday lunches if ramed! Nice beer garden to the rear is unlit so bring your own tea lights/lanterns and its brill, nice and quite and chilled, we used to plug in a cd player into mini speakers and play over the sound of some shockingly bad dad rock bands. good times, I only hope they havent lost the country feel of the pub by opening the interior up . . . I can remeber when the pub had a wedding on saturday so the band was set up in the old building, it was was ramed as hell!!!some drums had to be moved to get to the bar it was that tight!! brillient atmosphere ARE you LOCAL? he he

The food is very good and all very well priced. You can get a 20 or even a 40 ounce steak or get some full belly ribs that fall off the bone! There is plenty of choice for everyone! Its never too crowded and even if there is a few minutes wait for a table, the service is so good and mega fast! Jim the owner is a great guy and we hope to try their other place in Derby soon too!

We only wanted a take away on this occasion, which was a great shame as they do not give any discount for this. The price you see in the menu is the price you pay whether you sit in or take out. As we don't live here anymore we really wanted to try the food so went ahead and ordered our take out. It took forever (55 minutes to be exact). Anyway, we went home drooling - the rest of the family thought we'd gone back to cornwall. We dished up ~ the starters were nice, the mains were nice enough but nothing to shout about and the rice was overcooked, sticky and not tasty at all ~ half my dinner ended up in the bin. Our meal was expensive compared to all the other Indian restaurants in the area so we won't bother going back again.

The food was really nice too, with care taken at ordering to understand the heat level required for each guest spot on. Prices not that bad pint of Cobra cheaper than a local pub.
