Rock Bar & Karaoke — Restaurant in Howick

First and last time at this bar, we came to book a room for karaoke. They should have a security at the entrance asking for I.d as it will save future altercations, an unfortunate situation as one of our colleagues forgot her I.d The younger lady behind the bar let me give you some advice, Learn how to greet your customers with a smile, your hand gestures and pointing we’re not appeasing at all nor was your very rude way of ushering all of us out, you should have not come so close into someone’s personal space as you did with one of my other colleagues as you had no face mask on at that time reason to why she was getting defensive as I had to intervene and kept telling you to ‘calm down we are going’a couple times as you kept yelling ‘you need to leave now’ while we making our way out, even another customer had intervened and obviously she could see the situation unfolding that’s why she told you also that ‘they are going’ and that ‘your a worker’ as your response to her was ‘I don’t care, they need to go’ Such a disappointment, not sure if it’s family owned but management should follow up on ensuring good customer service not every face...

For real it was the best karaoke bar we've been to. The staff were so friendly and accomodating. We love how the set up is done. We booked a private room and it was so clean, and it had two screens with 2 mics and 2 panels for you to control. the sound was amazing and clear with just the right bass. Clean and tidy. I couldnt take pictures cos i forgot my phone at home and yes they check your vaccine pass so lucky my hubby took a screenshot and sent it to my sister in laws phone lol and the prices for drinks were fair. My sister in law and I will be back in 2 weeks haha oh theres a vast selection of music too. Its tucked behind some shops with the TAB on the left and theres plenty parking with very good lighting. There is also a restaurant downstairs and a gas station right next door so its pretty convenient oh and the location is also good as its not close to...

Bloody rediculous paying for "Kareoke" never seen or heard of this any where in Christchurch....it's all FREE to enter any Bar...put your name down the Dj calls your name out...you go up & sing the song you chose all FREE...just normal BAR prices for Alcohol...I'm a stynie classic man & large Bottles are $12.50 each.

That's how "ALL the Kareoke Bars Roll" in the Good land of Christchurch...love my Kareoke...I normally do the circuit...meet orsim DJ's & also locals that frequent there Bar's...made many a good frend & the talent wow.

A specially thank you to one of my Fav's DJ's in Chch is "SHARKY" He has an "ELVIS PRESLEY" theme...even has his costumes....not the hottest impersonatator...but after a few he's starting to sound ok "Laughing my A off"

So Auckland "PLEASE" try & following out South Island...
