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.
Review Source:To answer the question of the "First To Review", Eastland hasn't been reviewed more often because of two BIG reasons:
1. Â No alcohol
2. Â 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. Â Â But for the karaoke freak, Eastland is a decent spot. Â Many round eyes are unaware of the Asian-version of karaoke. Â 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. Â The benefit here is that you don't have to be good, you just have to pay for the room ($20/hr). Â 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. Â The sign may say 2am, but my group and I were there til 230a and people were still coming in. Â I'm sure you can sneak whatever you want inside of the room, but you better not leave any evidence. Â Or you'll be banned and your pic will be posted on their wall of shame.
Like the other round eyes...
Uhm... howcome nobody has reviewed this noraebang yet?
I think it's the only one left in the area, so I'm surprised about the lack of reviews.
This place is also known as Dongbu Noraebang and is in the same plaza as the Dominos and Sam Han KBBQ. There really aren't any other places to go sing Korean songs around here that I know of. Sure, there's nothing special about this NRB but it has just what I'm looking for: Good catalogue of 90's Korean songs!
