These guys also offer up some required liquid courageousness before your big debut : toothsome cocktails , colourful snap , and great happy minute drink specials ( including $ 5 Jameson ) that actually go moderately late – until 9 pm during the hebdomad , and 8 pm on Friday and Saturday .

Duck Butt may be better know for its delicious flavour sojus than its euphony , but this stead is actually a great post to test out your public karaoke chops .

Wang Chung’s
Wang Chung ’s is seriously one of the only reasons I ’ll ever venture into Waikiki . Why ? Their great barkeeper are friendly , dress really sharp , and they pour one hell of a beverage . No concealing in a private room here , but it ’s all good – the crowd is n’t the booing type , and will sing along with you . The vocal selection process is only half digital – you look up the vocal tilt online , but fill out the Song dynasty number , your name , and the song name on the slip of paper , for $ 1 / vocal .

It ’s $ 1 / Sung dynasty , so delay it out if you wanna rock ' n ' roll all night ( and party every day ) .
Hawaii Voice KTV & Lounge
Hawaii Voice KTV is comparatively new to the Honolulu karaoke scene , but it for certain sets the measure high . The upscale lounge is murkily lighted , yet advanced , and feels like a place to see and be seen . This bit has – hands down – the most well - design individual rooms on the island . They ’re squeaky unclouded , roomy , and are creatively decorated with unlike merriment , surprisingly not - super - kitschy root word for each elbow room . The sound organisation is on point , songs are easy to find via the hint screen search , and the original medicine videos are in reality shown , which is fun to catch – and barely ever an choice at most karaoke places . The hourly way rental pace are a little pricy ( a intermediate - sized room ’s hourly weekend rate is $ 65 , although you’re able to rent it out for from 8 pm to 2 am for $ 200 ) but this smudge is well deserving it for special occasions , or just when you require to feel oh - so - fancy .
Side Street Inn
This super - insouciant karaoke locus also has amazing , reasonably priced food . Seriously , the food for thought here is incredible – go for " The whole kit " fry rice , which combines Elmer Rice with salty lup cheong , bacon , and Portuguese sausage , smoky char siu , and kimchi – it ’s pleasant-tasting , and the portions are huge . Alternatively , go for their famous pan - fry pork chop – crisp , juicy , piquant , and incredible . The welfare of all this great food – away from the obvious – is that citizenry are too distrait to care if you ’re off - key .
Nocturna Lounge
The wearing apparel code and interior decoration at Nocturna contribute it a swanky vibe , and this place combines video game likeGuitar Heroand karaoke , so this place is fairly much the best karaoke date Nox around . The sofa domain has free karaoke until 9 pm , and the price ups to $ 2 / song after that . instead , there are several private rooms available to rent which are unobjectionable , modern , and roomie , so the worldwide world does n’t have to bear witness to your underground obsession with the Biebs .

Toma Enterprise
Do n’t judge a book by its cover : Toma ’s may not be as flashy and new as some of the other places on this lean , but it ’s still such a good option for individual karaoke room rentals .
