Everyone loves a good night out at a karaoke bar. Planning these parties is simple, too. Just get your friends and loved ones together, book a session at one of London’s great karaoke bars and get ready to belt out some of your favourite songs. Many London karaoke bars have DJs ready to spin all of the karaoke hits you know and love. So whether you want a private room or a more public one, you can definitely find a place where you can sing your heart out. Also don’t forget some pints and cocktails to help everyone loosen up a bit. 

Karaoke parties are one of the best ways to celebrate your birthday, friends coming in from out of town, company parties, and team building events. When you are planning a karaoke party here are a few things to keep in mind:

• The Playlist: Karaoke parties are supposed to have good vibes and tons of energy for everyone to get down to. When you are starting your karaoke party, be sure to start strong. Bust out the Abba, Earth, Wind, and Fire, and The Killers. As the night continues, then start breaking out the deep cuts that speak to you. A good karaoke DJ will know when to put certain songs in the queue over the course of your party.

• The Menu: This goes for both the bar and the food. For food, be sure to keep things limited to finger foods and small dishes. Karaoke comes with dancing and socialising, so the last thing you want is a bunch of tables, chairs, and plates everywhere. Many karaoke bars will also come stocked with fun and creative cocktails to keep the party going. Every karaoke bar worth its salt will have a full bar and plenty of beers on tap, as well as a wide array of beers.

If you are looking to save a few pounds on refreshments and alcohol, consider having a spending limit of $1000, hiring a minimum spend venue, or not having hot food and keep it simple with some classic bar snacks. If you still want an open bar, you should think about limiting the options to beer and wine at the bar. If you choose to do this, you can include a cash bar option for cocktails.

• Minimum Spend Venues: These kinds of venues are one of the best ways to save some money for your next party. Instead of paying for the space or per person, you are simply required to spend a certain amount of money over the course of your party. If you are tight on money, you can prearrange a spending limit for your party so the party does not go overboard at the bar. These kinds of venues are extremely popular for work gatherings which tend to have more strict spending limits.

• Team Building Activities: What better way to get to know the people that you work with than singing your favourite songs at the top of your lungs. This is a good way to get out of the office and get to know your coworkers a bit more, and their taste in music as well! The pandemic has moved team building activities into the digital world, and now that going out is back in full swing, karaoke is a way not only to get to know your coworkers more and create stronger bonds, but to also celebrate getting together again. This is a fun activity for anyone to enjoy, from the most recent hire to the most seasoned manager.

• Company Parties: If you are looking for a fun way to celebrate the end of a quarter or a holiday, look no further than karaoke bars for your next company party. Much like team building events, karaoke bars as settings for company parties are a great way to have fun and get closer with your colleagues. These are best done in small groups so this is a great option for your department or a few teams to get together and sing the night away.

Karaoke bars are great settings for parties and celebrations of all kinds. When everyone is out singing at the tops of their lungs, you are guaranteed to have a great time. London is known for having excellent nightlife and their wide selection of karaoke bars definitely adds to the fun you can have for a night out on the town.
