Space Karaoke Bar & Lounge | Koreatown NYC — Restaurant in New York

Title: Extremely Disappointing Experience at Space Karaoke Bar and Lounge

Rating: ⭐️

I recently visited Space Karaoke Bar and Lounge on Sunday, December 17th, 2023, after attending a fantastic Mariah Carey concert with my two daughters and another mom and daughter we met at the show. Unfortunately, our experience at this establishment was far from enjoyable.

Upon arrival, we were greeted by an unwelcoming atmosphere and a seemingly closed bar. To our surprise, we were the only customers there. The bartender, who also served as the attendant, appeared miserable and annoyed by our presence. When we asked about his demeanor, he bluntly stated that he wasn't supposed to be working that evening. This immediately set a negative tone for the night and ruined our celebratory vibe.

Throughout our time at the bar, we had to continually shout to get the bartender's attention, as he would hide in the office. It was frustrating to have to go through such lengths just to order drinks. The lack of attentiveness and poor service made us feel like an inconvenience rather than valued customers.

To add insult to injury, as our allotted time for karaoke came to an end, the bartender escorted us out and swiftly locked the door behind us, as if to signal that we were not welcomed. This blatant display of disrespect left a sour taste in our mouths.

As we were leaving, we encountered another group of people heading towards the bar, and we warned them about our terrible experience and advised them to avoid this location at all costs. No one deserves to be treated unwelcome and have their vibe deflated.

In conclusion, I strongly advise against visiting Space Karaoke Bar and Lounge on 34 W 32nd Street in New York City. The unwelcoming atmosphere, terrible service, and disrespectful behavior of the bartender ruined what should have been a fun and memorable night. Save yourself the disappointment and find a different karaoke spot that values...

Chose this place because most of the reviews were good, and also had the option of billiards in the building. Went with one other person and was directed to the bar staff to get a karaoke room, the staff was initially dismissive. We were assisted and told there would be an hour wait, rooms were booked up and being used. That was fine because it was a busy, Friday night. We asked if we could go upstairs to shoot pool while we waited and we were told no and that we would lose our place if we went. Decided to just hang out at the bar and have a drink while we waited. We were ignored by the bartenders for ~10 minutes. Eventually was serviced, and the bartender Hannah was very unfriendly/rude, could’ve been a bad day for her but horrible service. My drink was not made as requested, and she was very dismissive when informed and stated “that’s just what they have” (seltzer water vs soda water). Didn’t offer to explain prior to making the drink and did not care that I was unsatisfied. We still paid for both drinks, though I did not really drink mine. Gratuity was automatically included. The staff is just very unwelcoming there, and I really wouldn’t recommend unless you’re a very large group maybe? Large groups seemed to have a great time. Ended up leaving because the overall atmosphere was bad, and there was no additional space or seating. Just forced to look at the bartender that was unfriendly and trying to avoid eye contact. We weren’t the only ones not pleased by the service. Definitely won’t return. Many other better karaoke places...

WE WERE ALMOST ASSUALTED BY THEIR SECURITY GUARD AND THE STAFF DID NOTHING...

My friends and I were enjoying a great night out . We spent over $500 dollars in this establishment. We had bottle service( bottle provided was Jose quavo$35 bottle) but was charged over $500. As we were leaving we all went to the bathroom to USE it when suddenly we heard a loud banging on the door. Once we opened the door a security guard WALKED in the bathroom and Starting YELLING at the top of his lung to get the F&$& out. He was so enraged that his eyes were bulging out of his eyes and he was fuming at his mouth. I immediately got scared that this person was going to assault myself or one of the patrons in the bathroom. The security guard ( who's black) started to go off stating that it be his own people to act up as if WE just stormed in the bathroom with rage. To make matters worse the STAFF DID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to make us feel safe as they wanted us to walk to the elevator lobby with the SAME security that almost assaulted us. The staff didn't rectify they situation. They didn't offer a partial refund or any type of refund. DO NOT GO HERE as we are planning legal actions against the bar and the security company they hire to "patrol" their grounds. We are not ghetto we are all educated women with masters or better so the "assumption" that we were ghetto and deserved that type of tre5 after money was spent is appalling and I've also...
