Karaoke Venues in Melbourne

Booking Karaoke Venues: What to Know

Karaoke gets every guest involved, and in Melbourne the choice comes down to two formats. In the CBD, LKF Bar & Karaoke and Action Karaoke hand each group a closed room with its own microphones and sound, so nobody sings in front of strangers. In Brunswick East, Benjys Karaoke Bar does the opposite: an open-mic bar with a stage and a big screen that one party can take over completely. LKF Bar & Karaoke sits upstairs in a cocktail bar and runs four private rooms dressed in a Hong Kong theme, each taking 5 to 25 people. Weeknight bookings start from $900 minimum spend, and canapé packages start from $35 per person. Action Karaoke on Little Bourke Street has more than 15 rooms, from compact studios up to a VIP suite for 40, priced from $390 minimum spend with no charge for the room itself, and its night sessions keep going until 4am. Benjys works on a prepaid bar tab instead. From Sunday to Thursday a group can have the whole bar and its covered beer garden from $500 minimum spend, for as many as 120 guests. Matching the format to your group:

Under 25 who want privacy: a themed room at LKF Bar & Karaoke, with drink packages and catering
Up to 40 singing late into the night: the VIP suite at Action Karaoke, where soft drinks and a snack platter come with the room
A bigger crowd that wants an audience: Benjys Karaoke Bar, with the stage and the beer garden to yourselves
Bringing your own food: Benjys lets guests carry it in and adds nothing for hire, cleaning or the karaoke itself

Karaoke often anchors a 30th birthday party or a hens party, and either page has more ideas for the rest of the night.

LKF Bar & Karaoke, Melbourne CBD: an upstairs bar with four themed rooms, air conditioning and a screen, sized for 5 to 25
Action Karaoke, Little Bourke Street: rooms of many sizes up to 40 guests, with food from the kitchen and a full bar charged as you go
Benjys Karaoke Bar, Lygon Street in Brunswick East: exclusive hire of the bar, stage and covered beer garden for up to 120

Settling the details before the night

Check your numbers against the room, since the CBD rooms suit small and mid-sized groups while Benjys suits a crowd
LKF quotes its $900 figure for weeknights, so ask what applies on a Friday or Saturday
Know how drinks are charged: packages at LKF, pay-as-you-go at Action Karaoke and a prepaid tab at Benjys
Agree a finishing time, as Action Karaoke runs night sessions until 4am
At Benjys, decide who is organising the food, since outside food is welcome
