Top karaoke joint. Mixed crowd from all walks of life which makes it very interesting. Some requests had problems playing. 1 per song.
I love this place. It's like being around family. The owner, Rena, and her son, Tim, make you feel loved. If you are having a bad day, go you will feel amazing when you leave. If you are having a great day, go your day will end even better. The drinks are on point. The bartenders 'Tim and Joe' are mad, cool, and most importantly, they know how to make a drink . I have tried just about everything on the menu. The burger is great. The French fries are delicious. They have garlic ribs, which are spicy but very good. They sell Udon and Ramen and steak (though I never had the steak), but if the other dishes are great, I'm sure the steak will also be. Please note this is a bar, so don't think you're coming here for a nice sit-down dinner because you are coming for bar food and karaoke and to have a great time. I promise a great time. They are closed on certain days. I believe Tuesdays and one other so check before you go, but go. Enjoy Up Stairs cause it is a great place.

We didn’t try any food because we were there for karaoke but… If you like local dive bars, this is the place! You do have the pay per song, but it’s super cheap. I’ve been the New York several times and I am not a fan of the karaoke bars that have the rooms because… They’re just not my favorite. This is a place I loved! Everyone was involved and sang-along. It felt like home! For the three of us that went, we had a great time! We sang, we drank, and we made new friends! Only karaoke bar I’m ever going to in the city!
This bar is one of the best and most fun bars my friends and I have ever been to. Right before coming to this bar last night we had a horrible experience at a different Karaoke bar down the street. The ambiance, drinks, and food made it so fun. The owners were so nice and made us have the best time ever. Their cocktail menu was great. So many yummy options and Tim made the best ever lemon drop shot. They had an awesome selection of songs and almost all the songs we wanted, they had. I would 10/10 recommend this place to anyone who is wanting a fun chill bar night to turn into one of the best nights ever.
This divey spot has become my favorite karaoke bar in the city. Perfect for when you just wanna belt tunes with the whole bar singing along. The owner/bartenders are super cool and are on top of it, even on a packed night. What really blew my friends and I away is the quality of food here! I’ve gone back just for the Taiwanese Popcorn Chicken alone. You might raise an eyebrow at ordering a Ribeye Steak at karaoke, but it was cooked perfectly to temp, tender, and seasoned properly. The Lychee Martinis are also top-notch; they don’t skimp with the lychee garnishes here!
We had so much fun at this little hole in the wall karaoke bar! It is just your typical small no nonsense dive bar, but the atmosphere was great. Everybody sang along with most of the songs and the bartenders were all great, especially Tim who was super sweet! I ordered dumplings and they were delicious and affordable. There was a 20 minimum and 1 per song for the karaoke and u just have to pay attention when is your turn they just pass the mic around the bar so you don't stand on a stage. I would highly recommend this spot for anyone wanting a fun inexpensive karaoke or dive bar experience.
Great local dive spot with karaoke. Haven't tried the food, but the staff is nice and the drinks are affordable.
