The private rooms are a bit dated, but everything still works well and the karaoke system is easy to use, even for beginners. The staff member was friendly, patient, and helpful throughout our visit. Another big plus is that they allow outside food and drinks, which made the experience even better since we could grab snacks next door at the convenience store. Overall, it's a fun, laid-back place to hang out with friends and sing your heart out. We'll definitely be back!

We got a small room for about $30/hour for two hours and seems like the prorate the time you go over so that's nice! The sound system is pretty good and loud. I'd say selection of songs is pretty decent as well and they update new songs too. Can mainly speak to the Korean song selection because that's what we focused on that night but they do have other languages too! They have enhypen's newer songs like no doubt and loose, which was great for us! The song queuing takes a little bit of learning but isn't too hard and you can always ask the staff about it! Definitely would come back again!

I was overcharged for one cocktail and 2 fountain drinks and because they didn't provide an itemized receipt, I didn't catch it until the next morning. (I assumed my buddy's drinks were on my tab which is why the number didnt alarm me when closing out. He told me later he paid cash). My guess is they mixed my charges with another person closing out at the same time (same bank cards). I only know this for certain because I had been there earlier the same night and with no happy hour discounts or anything, we paid for 4 cocktails and it all cost less than what I paid for a single cocktail and 2 fountain drinks Go for the vibes but def double check your tab when its busy to make sure there are no card mix ups

The bar is pretty small, but that honestly makes it more fun when you're singing in front of people. They do not have mocktails, but for non-alcoholic options they offer tea. Karaoke songs are $2 each and cash only. You write the song number on a piece of paper and hand it to the bar. There are two microphones and a big book full of songs to choose from. As the night went on, more people showed up and the vibe picked up. Overall, it's a fun, low-key spot if you're looking to do karaoke and do not mind a smaller space.

If you enter the mall after the other stores are closed, just follow the sound of amateur singers to find this spot on the second floor. I like that it felt like a hybrid of a Japanese style karaoke and American, with people choosing to sing with a mic right at the bar from their chairs or up on the stage. I prefer a drink to a song but I love to listen to others and cheer them on. Stop by and see for yourself!

The Shirley temples were 14 DOLLARS EACH. IVE NEVER HAD SUCH AN EXPENSIVE SHIRLEY TEMPLE IN MY LIFE. Now hear this. They also decided treated me and my friend terribly. They ignored my karaoke requests and took other peoples requests before me when I was waiting for 4 minutes. Like I was standing there for four min with my hand out and they blatantly ignored more then a person approaches with paper in hand and they take their request immediately. Also gathered trash right next to my friend and tried to take her chips prematurely when she clearly was still snacking on them. So they are insolent and expensive. I'm never coming here again.

I ordered the Mint Mojito, which had a good ratio of alcohol to non-alcohol proportion and was quite minty, and the large Sake Bomb, which is not too complicated of a drink but delicious! After a couple karaoke songs by strangers and my friend and I, we ordered some small dishes including chicken karaage, okonomiyaki, takoyaki, and fried squid. All these dishes were delicious, with the takoyaki and fried squid being my favorite. The way the seating is arranged along with the friendly staff make for a very fun environment, where customers are encouraged to interact with each other and make new friends! Besides it being a bit more pricey than I would like, I enjoy coming to Club Mari's every so often.

It's tucked away from the rest of the bar with plenty of seating, so we could all sit comfortably and rest our feet after being in heels all day. We had a $1k minimum bar tab spend, which we easily met with about 30 of us having at least one drink. Bonus points for having a men's room, women's room, and two unisex stalls! I ordered a matcha martini since I really needed a little caffeine to sustain myself through karaoke afterwards as well, and it is now one of my favorite cocktails. Super creamy with the delicious notes of pineapple and coconut, and you can't really taste the alcohol (just the way I like it). Half our table ordered one after trying mine! We also grabbed some duck fat fries to share, and they were well fried, crispy and not greasy feeling. Thank you Fermentation Lab for having us!

The Wednesday Prime Rib special for $65 caught my attention and so did many other items on the…read moremenu. Made it just in time for the happy hour, which was $2-$4 off the original price and ordered even more items. The deviled eggs had four pieces(2 kinds), the bacon marmalade was rich and flavorful and the smoked salmon was quite salty. The calamari misto was lightly battered and I loved that it came with a mix of artichoke heart, shrimp, calamari, onions, and jalapenos. I could taste the umani of the duck fat fries. The uni pasta got the creaminess down, and the squid ink pasta was cooked well, but the uni flavor was very light and the flavors weren't as bold as I had expected. The prime rib was tender and the sides were decent. The chefs amuse bouche and the churro were the cherry on top for the prime rib special. With everything that was ordered, I was worried that I didn't have enough table space, but all the items were spaced out enough to fit everything a the right time. The Fermentation Lab is the perfect place for a date for those that appreciate a lovely atmosphere, welcoming service, vibrant drinks and beautifully plated dishes. I probably wouldn't come for just the prime rib special, but I would love to try other items on the menu. I wasn't expecting any screens, but they had two projectors and a tv playing the USA vs Bosnia World Cup game so that was a pleasant surprise!

Speaking of wings, the house Pa'ina flavor was really tasty. Even un-sauced, they were tasty. You will be missed Pa'ina!

We had a large beast, 2 poke orders, garlic noodles, fried rice, loco moco, spam masubi, short ribs, and 2 orders of chicken wings. We had some alcoholic beverages as well and found the yuzu to be delicious, but overall everything was tasty and good.
