Boho Karaoke - West 4th — Restaurant in New York

Amazing upbeat atmosphere here! The bartender Rachel is a very friendly and talented bartender. Almost every patron actively participates in the Karaoke, and the cultural and ethnic diversity in this establishment are a breath of fresh air amongst other karaoke bars that can make you feel out of place or unwelcome. They also have private rooms that you can pay for where you and your guests can have a more personalized karaoke experience and avoid the long wait times between songs that are prevalent in the main bar room. Spirits fly high here, and despite it's larger then average size and capacity, I have not once seen any altications happen here. There is also a wall by the main DJ booth that has autographed pictures of all the celebrities who have patronized the establishment and came to enjoy the affordable drink menu and friendly, supportive, "family feel" atmosphere maintained here. By far the best karaoke bar I have ever had the pleasure of attending. I will most certainly be frequenting this place, and I recommend that anyone with a thirst for cold drinks, karaoke, and an unmatched atmosphere try it out and experience all the awesomeness...

The karaoke place is a joke, the place is poorly managed (by manager named Rachel). I am a regular karaoke singer and I was in the location at around 10:45PM last Friday. I ordered a drink and got a song ticket and submitted my first song. I asked if I can buy some more tickets in order to put in more songs, a practice that’s been used by other karaoke bars, including Karaoke Boho at their Orchard location. I was told that they don’t sell any song tickets. In order for you to sing more songs, you have to buy more drinks to get more song tickets. At around 1AM, I ordered my third drink, I was not given a song ticket cause Rachel (the manager) said that there were already a lot of songs. Remember folks that the place closes at 4AM, so there was a lot of time to put more songs. One group consisted of five people gave me three song tickets, saying that I should be singing more (they like the way I sing and my song selection). Finally, if you are a regular karaoke singer, I would suggest not to go to this location, not only that the place is mismanaged, they...

Avoid this place at all costs.

I booked their largest room three weeks in advance for 11:00 PM, paid $300 for 2 hours, and was assured there would be no issues. During those three weeks, they called me twice to push the reservation time—first to 11:30 PM, then to midnight. I reluctantly agreed.

On the day of the reservation, I called to confirm everything was set for 12:00 AM, and they assured me there were no issues. However, when I arrived at 11:45 PM with 15 friends, I found the large room I had reserved was already taken. They tried to put us in a small, poorly lit room that smelled awful.

When I asked about the situation, they simply said the big room was unavailable, and there was nothing they could do. To make matters worse, the front desk informed me the bill would be at least $800 with tip and taxes, far exceeding the original agreement.

While they did refund me, the entire experience was extremely disrespectful to me and my guests, especially after confirming multiple times. Overall, a...
