The Karaoke Hole, The Karaoke Hole

Very nice place to spend an evening with friends. Lots of people singing very nice songs. Super cool, energetic and save atmosphere with people from all walks of life. We ordered some beers, they weren’t very cold but very nice though. There some marvellous drags hosting the karaoke (and singing too) super star material :)⚡️ A LGBTQI+ must see in London!

Probably London's only legit karaoke bar. Staff are all very friendly and the drag queen hosts add to the atmosphere. Nobody cares if you sing badly, just make it fun. A few tips, as I don't think some of the 1 stars here are justified: 1. The drag queen hosts are there to help you be entertaining, as it's not like most people sing in tune anyway. Treat them nicely and they'll treat you well! 2. Avoid requesting too many songs in one go. One is good, two is pushing it. 3. Check the Singa app often. Your song is only on the host's list when it is approved. If your song was approved then deleted, it's likely another person before you requested the same song as you. Some issues for the venue: 1. People request 5 to 10 songs in a row then get angry at the host for skipping through. I think there should be a restriction that you can only request one song at a time, and after you've done your song you can request another one. Hosts can then prioritize new names. 2. The breaks are sometimes a bit long where you could have squeezed in 4 to 5 songs easily. The break can also be at during when the hosts change. 3. I think the show can start earlier, maybe when 5 to 6 people have already requested songs. 4. No TP in some cubicles. Yeah, this one's real.

They aren’t really fair on the order of karaoke. Other people sang multiple songs while mine got skipped for the full five hours we were there. Also, even though it is a queer bar it was 80% straight girls. Literally three different bachelorette parties and they got to sing all the songs while the queer people were ignored. The bar staff were friendly and the drag queens were funny. The atmosphere is one star but the staff bring it up to three stars.
