Eastland Music Studio

I really like this place because they're pretty current with songs that are still playing on the radio. I don't drink alcohol so it doesn't bother me too much that they don't serve it here. Although, it would be nice if they did because more of my friends would be inclined to sing with me with just a bit of liquid courage. Wish they also served food but there's a KBBQ next door so I suppose you can hit that place up before coming here. There aren't very many rooms and the largest room looks like they can only accommodate about 8-10 ppl comfortably.

Can't lie, the selection is really great. But it was $25 an hour on a Sunday night. My friends and I looked pretty stupid running up a hundred dollar tab doing ONLY karaoke. Ask about the prices! In short: eh venue, good songs list (very up to date), pricey.

To answer the question of the "First To Review", Eastland hasn't been reviewed more often because of two BIG reasons:

1.  No alcohol
2.  No food

When I hit up a karaoke spot, usually both items are available, but to have none is a deal breaker for most people.    But for the karaoke freak, Eastland is a decent spot.  Many round eyes are unaware of the Asian-version of karaoke.  Round eyes are only aware of the karaoke nights at a local bar, where they must share the mic with strangers, some of whom are very good.

But at the Asian karaoke, you can rent a private room and pick from hundreds or thousands of songs.  The benefit here is that you don't have to be good, you just have to pay for the room ($20/hr).  So bring friends to help cut costs, but don't bring any food or alcohol or you won't be allowed entry.

They stay open late on the weekend.  The sign may say 2am, but my group and I were there til 230a and people were still coming in.  I'm sure you can sneak whatever you want inside of the room, but you better not leave any evidence.  Or you'll be banned and your pic will be posted on their wall of shame.

Like the other round eyes...
