Upon arrival, we were convinced to do the 3 hour package (which included fruit platter, popcorn chicken, fries and soju) instead which was pretty much the same price as paying for 2 hours a la carte. Had we know we'd get so much food we would've skipped dinner... we ended up taking all of the leftovers home. The room smelled a little funky when we first entered (like sewage); however it quickly dissipated but then it was just warm. They waited until after 9pm to start blasting the AC lol. Gotta make sure it's off-peak hours ya know. We were told to download an app on our iPhone (no androids) which would search/queue songs and act as a remote control. TBH, I thought it was so much easier to search on their kiosk screen instead of the phone. The song choice is decent. They don't have ALL of the new stuff but they had some recent stuff. Lots of mainstream old stuff for sure. They were really attentive. Brought us food asap, brought us water when we asked. We sang our hearts out for 2.5 hours and realized we couldn't hang anymore. We tipped on top of the room price. Overall good experience.

The seats had ripped parts, the floor and table were sticky . The music control was close to the TV and can block the others singers view while you were inputting songs, the keyboard remote wasn't working. The music selections were so so and was lagging 20% of the time. The walls were thin and you can definitely hear the other rooms well enough. The lighting was nice! Price was on the pricier side compared to other Karaoke places. Overall the experience was so so, would I come back to this place? Maybe if they had a discount but who knows . Additional info they don't subtract the charge of your $25 reservation from your main bill

The night was slow so we were seated right away. We asked how to use the system and remote and it was fairly simple to understand, and we were handed a songbook containing all the songs the system had to offer. And we stayed longer than had planned because we were having so much fun! Please come if you just feel like singing! And the prices!? They charge by the hour, so $85 for 3 hours for the 4 of us. The rates changed based on how many people are in a room. Worth Noting!! No hearty meals served. Only instant ramen so come after having lunch/dinner elsewhere before singing! Water, Gatorade, tea, basic drinks are available to order. Bring your own snacks. Wood seats so get up and moving when you sing ;)!! Staff was nice!

Overall, a solid spot for late-night karaoke.

We came here just for dinner (we didn't actually karaoke, although we inquired about the prices and…read morethey seemed reasonable). The food was actually quite good with large portions and reasonable prices. We ordered the cucumber salad, it was very flavorful with garlic and cilantro added. We also had the spicy pickled fish which was also very good (just wish there was a little more fish). The beef noodle soup was also surprisingly good and had lots of noodles. The staff didn't have the most friendly expression, but they were helpful when we asked for anything. The ambiance/decor was trendy and the place was very clean. It didn't seem very busy even on a Saturday night, there only seemed to be a couple groups singing in the private rooms. The rooms also looked to be a good size with nice decor when we walked by.

We ordered a bunch of food: Taiwanese beef noodle soup, dried noodles, popcorn chicken, fries, fish tofu skewers, fried rice, cucumber salad, and shredded potatoes. We liked everything except the shredded potatoes. The large screen, mics, and sound system were great. We struggled a bit with the screen, as it was in Chinese so navigating to songs/artists was a bit of a challenge. There were also limitations to the songs available. It would've been nice if we could just pair up our phones. Service was good, our server came in to check on us, making sure our water pitcher was plentiful. There was also a tray of complimentary fruits and chocolates, which was a nice touch. We had a lot of fun and would come back!

Exceptional Hosting by Keagan at Side Bar and Gaslamplighter!…read more If you are planning a corporate event, team-bonding outing, or just looking for an unforgettable night out in San Diego, you absolutely need to visit Side Bar and Gaslamplighter. Our team was in town for our quarterly QBR last quarter, and we went out afterward to let loose on the town. We randomly came across Side Bar on a Thursday night and met Keagan, who completely transformed our entire trip. He was the ultimate curator! He immediately assessed our group's vibe, realized we were out for team bonding, and invited us right in, securing a fantastic VIP booth for my team. After a few shots and grooving to great music, he personally ushered us over to Gaslamplighter for a change of scenery, where we spent the rest of the night enjoying amazing drinks and live karaoke. The experience was so incredible that on our second night out, after hopping around various other bars in the Gaslamp Quarter, our team unanimously decided to end our night right back at Side Bar. Once again, Keagan took flawless care of us. He hooked us up with another booth and a few bottles. We happened to be celebrating a team member's birthday that night, and Keagan made it unforgettable. The staff brought out the full VIP treatment with bright sparklers and "Happy Birthday" signs to close out the night in style. What makes Keagan so special is his attention to detail. Even while working a packed club and making his rounds to ensure everyone was taken care of, he constantly circled back to check on our group. He made every single person on our team feel incredibly important and looked after on both nights. We walked away with fantastic pictures, amazing team memories, and a strong desire to return. Shout out to Keagan and the exceptional teams at both Side Bar and Gaslamplighter; memories were truly made! I highly recommend these venues for any group outing in downtown San Diego.

We were hoping to sing a few songs, but found out from our bartender the karaoke didn't start until later in the evening. We ordered a mini dirty martini and an old-fashioned, and just enjoyed the beautiful ambiance. Loved how they had these small sizes for only $6 each, perfect for me because I'm a super featherweight! Definitely bookmarking this place for a future ladies night out! Note: This place is classy, so no graphic tees, baseball caps, and flip flops.

Time sure flies. Four years ago I originally posted a review when I saw these guys at 710 Club in…read morePacific Beach. This time it was the post-party following the Elite Event: Halloween Prom at Tin Roof in downtown San Diego. Rock Out Karaoke takes the stage and continues to provide the perfect atmosphere for fun audience-fueled performances. My gamer past thinks back to the video game Rockband, where we took turns singing karaoke and playing toy instruments in front of the living room TV to a playlist with decades of pop hits. The game now sits in storage, but aspiring vocalists can continue their craft of singing with a live band, playing and providing backup vocals to your lead. I am not a singer, even as a hobby. I am still recovering from a cough & cold where I lost my voice, but after several rounds of liquid courage, I kinda wanted to give it a go. After listening to a few performances and doling out well deserved high-fives, a gal mentioned that the live band performance aspect was a completely different experience to the typical lounge scene. She really enjoyed it and would definitely do it again. I think it would be helpful to the fans and groupies if their schedule was easily found on their main website page. If it's there, I missed the link. My bad. I don't FaceBook, so I'm not looking there either. Just sayin'. I read someone else's review about ROK's limited playlist. While I am easily impressed with the band's repertoire, I could see how discouraged a potential singer would be if a favorite karaoke song is not available. Maybe expanding the library to include more classic and current songs wouldn't hurt. Ready for the main stage? If you enjoy karaoke and energetic music performances, then consider Rock Out Karaoke. There's nothing else quite like it in town. Doing it ROK style might leave you breathless, but you'll love the unique experience.

I can't remember what day of the week I wandered into this place, but I sure remember having one…read morehell of a time. I sat there drinking about a half dozen cans of the cheapest beer they had and chain-smoking out front. There was a tall gal behind the bar slinging drinks fast as hell while a bunch of folks sang "American Pie." It felt like I was exactly where I was supposed to be. That's where I met the sweetest little old lady. We talked for what felt like hours, and then she asked if I wanted to play pool. I told her I didn't play, but what the hell--we were having too good a time to say no. She beat me fair and square. I reckon that's the moment I knew I was in trouble, though I was too stubborn to admit it. What followed were the most magical four weeks I'd had in a long, long time. It felt like we lived a lifetime together. Anyway... Betty Sue, if you ever happen to read this, I miss you, and I'm sorry. I'll always wish I'd been the man I should've been for you. The time we shared was simple, honest, and full of joy. You never know you're perfectly aligned with the universe until the moment has passed. Maybe that's the lesson I was meant to learn all along. Star Bar will always have a special place in my heart because it gave me memories as priceless as this.

ChiChi is a cash bar and far to walk now thar I live in Gaslamp. Star Bar has been my favorite since day one. They expanded and now have 4 tables. The staff is great, the drinks are strong and the least expensive in the area. I'm convinced anyone here speaking poorly of Bailey must have been acting immature or inappropriate because I have personally seen her practice amazing patience, tolerance, and kindness with rude customers who didn't deserve even one of those responses. If you want to have a good time with good drinks and great people, I recommend Star Bar each and every night.
