Not great for English songs…read more The Good - large venue, lotsa rooms - clean - packages, instead of per hour, are decently priced if you have at least 6+ ppl! - alcoholic drinks are included in the credit - servers did respond to bell in a reasonable manner - servers were pretty polite, accommodating when splitting the bill The Not-So-Good - selection of English songs aren't great, they didn't even have Hall & Oates listed! - if you select the YouTube videos, there aren't any lyrics, so it's kinda pointless. 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.

I have a terrible voice, but I love karaoke. We had dinner at Bathurst and Bloor so walking over…read morehere was a good way to walk our large dinner. I almost missed Freezone; you walk a few steps down to the basement level of the building to get your singing on. Pricing isn't too bad. It's actually quite reasonable if you're with some friends for a night out. $20/hour/room Under $10 for all alcoholic drinks except for Soju Good for: karaoke, groups, night out

We had a group booking for a Friday evening starting at 930pm and ending at 1230am. We ended up…read morewith "room 1" and it seemed they had quite a few rooms. I saw 9 or more... It cost our group 60 an hour which is basically a dollar a minute. If you are going to do Bohemian Rhapsody from start to finish ya it'll run ya about 6 bucks :) The room we had been given had 4 couches and comfortably seated all of us with enough seating for about a dozen or so. The room had coffee tables so we had places to put our drinks and there were 3 or so books with the song lists on it. One of the books was thicker than the others because it included entire sections for Korean, Japanese and Filipino songs on top of the standard English lists. The lists though were only in order by song, not by artists so it was sort of harder to find songs because of that. The computer to punch in the codes was not in English but there were notes taped on it to explain what was what so it wasn't that confusing. Overall the place is clean, comfortable and the main middle screen while not that clear, we had 2 smaller higher resolution wide screens flanking the old screen so reading the words was not a problem. You could belt out as loud as you wanted even though there's other rooms adjacent everything's pretty well sound proofed so hearing a neighbor was not an issue at all. Newer songs (say last year or so) were grouped together in and color highlighted lists at the end of the books. The order to those almost seemed to be by month. Either way it wasn't that hard to navigate and it was fun. The pricing becomes more reasonable if you have a large group. For us 3 hours was only 16 bucks a person. As far as convenience there's parking along Bloor if you can find some and a Green P parking lot north of Bloor on Clinton. Christie station is right across the street so the TTC is a stone's throw away.

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.

Service was horrendous. We spent a lot of money to get down there for them to only tell us that we…read moreare not allowed in because we are all not 19. On the phone they said as long as the minors don't drink then they can come in. Once we got there they told us everyone 18 and younger had to leave. This was a waste of time and they should've have been more clear on their website and over the phone.

Reasonable prices. Came on a weekend and they state online that after 9pm, drink service ($20 worth…read moreof drinks per person) is required. Our booking was from 7-9pm, but by 9pm we wanted to extend our session for another hour. Thankfully, they allowed us to do so without enforcing the drink service. Tambourines were available in the room and the lighting was great. Only downsides are the lack of space in the room due to the table in the centre, making it impossible to dance, and the difficulty in using their karaoke system. But the workers explained the buttons properly and we were able to figure out the rest through trial and error (how to skip songs, no displays or indication if you've added a song to queue, so if you press multiple times it will also add the song multiple times). The drinks are expensive ($11 for a gin and tonic). Bathrooms were decent. There is a bar outside for drink service. Mood and atmosphere with dim lighting and disco lights are great. They offered us a pitcher of water and several cups when asked.

Now known as The Rockpile…read more A fair sized bar/concert venue predominantly showcasing Hard Rock and Metal bands. Some original artists, and a lot of cover bands. The atmosphere is always friendly, both from the staff and the patrons. People get loud, but never obnoxious. Tickets for many events can be bought online beforehand, but the venue is cash only. They do not take credit or debit cards at all. So bring a lot of cash if you want a drink or burger, as close to $15 for a can, you'll need it.

I was at the Rockpile to see The Exploited with Spades GT. It rocked!…read moreThere's tables where you can be served or just walk up to the bar and order your drink. Drink prices are fairly reasonable. A couple of drinks will cost you about twenty dollars. The ambiance is pretty laid back too and people enjoying themselves and the music. There's a back covered patio where you can relax too. I had an amazing time at the Rockpile. Thanks!

We came here on a Wednesday, walk in - there was only one other group there the whole night. Note…read morethat no outside food or drink is allowed inside the karaoke rooms, and free water is only served if you ask. The food menu here is very expensive. They had specials/discounts on soju if we booked the room for 2 hours We chose a small room for our group of 4... It was so tiny and cramped that we could sing into the microphone from across the room. They have 2 systems for karaoke, the Korean one and YouTube - the Korean one was so confusing and didn't have any of the mainstream songs so we literally just sung off of YouTube. Prices are meh, we paid $23 each for 2 hours of a mediocre experience. The front desk was polite though, and answered our questions

I went to this karaoke venue with a group of 7 people over the weekend and despite it being my…read morefirst time in the venue, it was fantastic! The aesthetic was fancy (almost gave me French bistro vibe). The staff were very friendly and helpful. Our host was arriving a little late, but they were very accommodating and provided lots of water as we sang over 3 hours. Didn't get a chance to order the food this time, but the menu looked tasty. Biggest thing to consider is room size for your group because we originally had 9 people, but 2 cancelled last minute, so we switched to a medium room instead of the large and it made it much more affordable. My group will definitely come back in the future!

The live music definitely adds something special; and the decor is very cool. We had a 6pm…read morereservation, and the place was pretty empty, but did start to fill up around 7pm. We ordered two of their cocktails - and we found both great; good combination of flavours and excellent presentation. They had some constraints in the kitchen, so the food orders were taken late and some items were not available. I can say that the braai platters had an authentic taste; but with items missing, opportunity was lost for the truly authentic platter. Given the constraints, the service was excellent - friendly, and we were kept well up to date. Would love to come again.

Unfortunately, while the vibe was nice with cool live music... the drinks and staff need improvement. Our server seemed a bit off/rude and kept getting our bills wrong. The drinks we ordered (some suggested by server) were not very good. They need to find a better mixologist. We tried a few cocktails and I even ordered an expresso martini thinking that might be fairly standard? Everyone in my group tried drinks from each other and all agreed our drinks were bad. My expresso martini was so bad I couldn't even finish and just returned it. We only ordered fries, since we had dinner earlier so can't comment on food. Ended up leaving for another bar even though we could have ordered a few more cocktails. If you really want to try this place, I would suggest it for just beers. Good with friends for something casual but because of service I wouldn't bring a date, coworker or celebrate any special occasions. Really too bad, could have been a hot spot if they fix these things.
