Room Size and Space

First, think about how big your karaoke room needs to be. You’ll want about 15-20 square feet for each person to make sure everyone has room to sing and hang out. Small karaoke rooms (100-150 sq ft) are good for 2-4 people, while medium-sized places (200-250 sq ft) fit 6-8 people.

Price and How to Save

Hourly rates are usually $25-40 for small rooms. They cost more for bigger rooms. To save money:

  • Book before 5 PM for 25-40% off
