The karaoke dive bar to end all karaoke dive bars is mushrooming all around town. The setup is basic: raucous bar downstairs, karaoke rooms upstairs—where you can snare a pretty affordable, three-hour all-you-can-drink and all-you-can-sing deal. We’ll plump for the original venue, on the corner of Sukhumvit Soi 53, where in our experience they’re most accommodating of non-Japanese.

Other branches include:

2/F, 58/14, Soi Thaniya, Silom Rd., 02-652-4936. BTS Sala Daeng

595/15 Sukhumvit Soi 33/1, 08-9001-8532
