Echo was insanely easy to book in advance - I put in a request on their website, paid a deposit (to…read morea e-transfer but lol it wasn't sketchy) and I've got to say this was one of the cheapest karaokes I've ever been to! (Likely because they use YouTube as their system rather than any specific licensed one - which first of all, slay. Second of all, I prefer this because the typical licensed ones usually don't have all the songs you want / you can pick songs in literally any language as long as the karaoke version is on YouTube!) The drinks were actually made well and not too pricey from what I can remember (which, let's be honest... isn't much LOL) but the bathrooms and overall place were generally clean for a spot like this. I'd come back to sing my heart out again!

The drinks are very affordable, with 22 dollars a bottle. And the machines have a lot of delightful music, with some pretty interesting background videos. But, there is no way to plug YouTube into the mix to get songs that aren't offered in the books. Still - if you're looking for a good and affordable night, Echo is superb.

If I'm going to be in downtown Toronto and I'm going to have a big group, I always pick Bar+ if they're available on the day I'm looking for (and if it's not a Monday -- they're closed on Mondays which I found out by just trying to roll up to the spot!) Bar+ makes group karaoke easy because they have various sizes of rooms, a wide selection of songs (with some recent songs too!) If you're really worried about song choices, there's an app you can download to your phone in which you can browse their entire catalogue whether you're there or not. Bonus, the app also acts as a way to have more than 1 device to add songs into the queue once you're in a room! PRO TIP: if the song listed has the "MTV" tag, it usually. means it's literally just the music video with no lyrics. The other reason Bar+ makes group karaoke easy is that you can go out to the bar to order your own alcohol, or order bottles (of soju) to bring into the room to share, and you pay each time you go out to the bar. One thing to call out -- DON'T throw your bottles into the trash cans in the rooms! The bottles get collected by the staff for recycling! I think there's a service button on the same tablet you input your songs, but I'm pretty sure you can also go out to the bar and ask them to collect empty bottles.

Edited a minute ago New…read moreUpon entering the establishment, the security guard took our IDs and he was holding a high-alcohol content beer, Hayburner, in one hand, and holding our ID's with the other. He seemed angry when my brother asked if our ID's had to be scanned, and really seemed to snap at my brother, but we shrugged it off and he scanned them and we went on with our night. Throughout the night, the security guard continued drinking these Hayburners. My brother and I were enjoying our evening, had not once had any issue with another patron or the bar, and we were in mid-conversation about piano, when I felt the guard standing behind me. He was just standing behind me, staring my brother down. It was a scary feeling. My brother, who has worked in the industry for 20 years, asked if everything was okay. The security guard approached my brother and started pushing him saying "Everything is okay with me is everything okay with you??" And my brother was walking backwards trying to de-escalate this seemingly intoxicated security guard. That's when I watched him grab my brother by both shoulders and push him backwards across the entire length of the bar, knocking him into people and objects, eventually pushing him out of the door. He even grabbed another guy and shoved him so hard against the wall that that guys beer went flying and he had purple and blue bruises from his grab. I desperately tried for the other woman security guard to understand he had just been assaulted and had done nothing wrong. She seemed to nod like she had seen this before, but wasn't going to do anything about it. My sister and I were astounded at the actions of this man. That's when he shoved me, a mid thirties woman not even half his size. Even after we were walking away from the bar, this security guard stood outside yelling towards us that he, direct quote, was going to "break our f***ng necks". This is negligence on the bar's behalf, for allowing an intoxicated security guard to a$$ault patrons. We immediately filed a police report, and they requested the video footage from the bar. The bar refused to provide any of the footage. Usually, bars who have nothing to hide are quick to comply- which was very telling in this case. We were never once asked to leave. We were just blind-sighted. I immediately called the bar after the incident and one of the owners, Amanda, who was tending the bar and witnessed the entire thing, cheerfully answered the phone. She had served my brother with no issue. I let her know her security guard had just assaulted us, and she said "ok?" And nothing further. This place does not give a rip about anyone's safety, especially not women's. It has been weeks and I'm still recovering from the pain of this night. Beware for your safety, women. I did what I could, but their actions will likely result in someone getting seriously hurt.

It was terrifying. I could've lost my brother, and we didn't even know why. For your own safety, don't fight back if confronted like this, report it instead. Paper trails save lives. On a brighter note: my brother absolutely crushed it on the mic earlier that night.

Song selection is okay but they allow you to use WeChat to scan a code and add songs that way and we were able to find most songs that way (English and Chinese across multiple decades). Happy hour is $25 an hour and includes service charge. Standard happy hour non alcoholic drink included. We got sprite (canned) and lemon honey water, both were good. Also got fried cuttlefish ball which was not fried, and the popcorn chicken. Food items were 7/10 average. Not super tasty but satisfying if you're hungry and don't want to head out for food even though lots of food options in the plaza. Overall had a blast. Clean rooms, able to sing all the songs we wanted, sound proof rooms so we never heard other rooms, and good service made the afternoon fun and enjoyable.

Some vids didn't even load! - not a lot of food options, lotsa fried/food that can be cooked quickly - slow-ish service. Took quite some time for the first round of drinks/food to arrive - food is mediocre. The fried chicken wings are pretty much tasteless - some iced drinks weren't great, too chunky/sweet. Bubble tea is probably from a powdered mix, had to add water 'cause it was waaay too sweet - since it's a package, prices esp on food/bottles is pretty overpriced, so you hafta order wisely - kareoke system wasn't super user-friendly - 15% gratuity was automatically included in the bill. So you'll be paying that even if the service is slow &/or sucks If you're in the mood for kareoke, in English, I'm sure there are better options in the City! High Zone is OK, but go in a group of at least 6ppl 'cause it's $200/3 hours, so it's better value.

As for the place, the booth is good for maybe max 7-8 people, there was 5 of us in the room and there was ample space. You can also order food and alcoholic drinks, don't forget to bring your identification. For the price, we spent around $200+ and split it among us. It's recommended to come with a group of people for maximum enjoyment. The only thing, I hoped they have the option to have more songs, some of the songs had wrong lyrics and were out of sync. Also, if they can have the option to have the scores to when after you sing, haha it would make it more competitive and fun if you want a singing competition with friends.
