    If you wanna have a good time, meet some great people, sing some random songs with some fun people, well thats the place to go. Great vibe, the bartenders are always so nice and people are not looking for drama and always welcoming featuring (if i can even use that word for some drunk karaoke). Have the whiskey green tea pitcher obviously and the fry dumplings.

    A lot of fun! There werent a lot of people for a Saturday night so staff is attentive to your needs and the bartender was top notch. Public karaoke, a lot of fun with all parties getting involved.

    2 years ago on new years, our subway had an emergency stop and me and my friend got off on the next exit and founded this place. We arrived just after open and the bartender made our entire night before we eventually left

    Simply great! Private karaoke rooms, reasonably priced, nice staff and the main room is never too crowded!

  • Review 5 (2019-08-01 - Rating: 5)

    Not the fanciest place but the main bar has 4 song machines so songs get rotated evenly and the drinks arent expensive. Great staff as well.

  • Review 6 (2020-01-04 - Rating: 5)

    Fernando, the bartender, is so great. Been here a few times over the years and it has great karaoke, drinks, and food.

    My go to karaoke place. Reasonable prices and great happy hour specials. Friendly and helpful staff.

  • Review 9 (2018-08-17 - Rating: 5)

    Fun place with good food and drink deals. Karaoke song selection is kind of difficult, but the song list is very current.

  • Review 10 (2014-10-11 - Rating: 4)

    Great open karaoke place. Nice people not de service. Good sushi and rolls. Great happy hour

  • Review 11 (2017-08-24 - Rating: 5)

    Fun spot, friendly and fun staff. Private group karaoke if you want to get crazy and have fun with friends.

  • Review 12 (2018-07-06 - Rating: 5)

    Great Karaoke Bar with a large open area as well as private rooms. The open area shows on a giant screen and its a fun vibe. Their computer screens are also pretty easy to use and have a wide selection.

  • Review 13 (2018-03-06 - Rating: 5)

    Amazing experience. Nice drinks and reasonable price. Will definitely come more often.

  • Review 15 (2019-01-13 - Rating: 5)

    This place is cool, cheap drinks fun crew! great spot to end the night.

  • Review 16 (2019-08-05 - Rating: 4)

    Under the new owner, this bar has become very white people friendly...and prices reflect that fact...but the same bar manager is there..and staff is still professional...

  • Review 17 (2020-02-01 - Rating: 5)

    Great, little karaoke bar! Its a little dingy but I like my bars like that.

  • Review 18 (2016-09-19 - Rating: 5)

    This does not appear to be a good place from the outside but once inside its really nice bar and karaoke theater setup with a huge screen.

  • Review 19 (2019-10-11 - Rating: 5)

    Great atmosphere. Nice vibe. Excellent drinks

  • Review 20 (2021-06-27 - Rating: 5)

  • Review 21 (2019-08-05 - Rating: 5)

    This place was as weird and diverse as a karaoke bar should be.

  • Review 22 (2019-11-30 - Rating: 5)

    This place is Amazing! And the drinks are really strong!

  • Review 23 (2021-07-21 - Rating: 5)

    Excellent place to chill by your self or with friends! If you come by yourself youll have a good time meeting new people naturally and comfortably. Great place for karaoke and private group singing as well!You can dance and drinks are top shelf! Meaning you can drink top shelf drinks and dance with top shelf drinks and sing away!Owner really set up the place nicely!Enjoy your time here!

  • Review 24 (2021-09-14 - Rating: 5)

    Nice little hole in the wall, bring your friends or meet new friends here. 😀

  • Review 25 (2018-01-05 - Rating: 5)

    Place is upbeat and fun. Staff is outgoing, in particular Fernando. He makes you feel like family! Prices are right on food and drink. Oh and those wings! My oh my those wings are the best wings I have ever had!

  • Review 26 (2022-03-28 - Rating: 5)

    No frills Karaoke bar. Come here to either sing your heart out infront of everyone or get yourself a room for more privacy. Everyone here is kind and its always a fun time.

  • Review 27 (2021-09-19 - Rating: 4)

    Drinks werent that strong but regular NY prices. The main room is a great place to be, especially when its empty and you can sing as much as youd like! They have a great big screen and tons of songs, both recent and older.

  • Review 28 (2022-04-08 - Rating: 5)

    You cant go wrong here. The technical systems are a mess, but the staff is friendly and everyone seems happy they discovered it. Like your own secret place to sing.

  • Review 29 (2019-12-07 - Rating: 5)

    Its a small place with limited seating and the chairs arent the greatest. Go with a few friends and sing your heart out. Its all good. Each participant gets 2 songs and you pass the mic to the next singer. If theirs no one next in line then its your concert. The drinks are flowing. No cover charge. No booing. The effort is appreciated here. Monumental laughs at the cost of whatever youre drinking so long as youre into karaoke. 4.5 cause of the chairs. Otherwise 5.

  • Review 30 (2021-11-17 - Rating: 5)

    Went there on Sunday night. There were not too many people there and we were able to sing as many songs as we want. They dont charge to sing in the main room, which is always a plus. Amazing karaoke bar, we had so much fun.

  • Review 31 (2020-01-19 - Rating: 5)

    Great Karoke rooms and friendly, helpful staff

  • Review 32 (2019-03-23 - Rating: 4)

    I love this place. Im a bit biased though because I have never been to any other karaoke bars. I really love to sing and whenever I come here I feel like a star. I enjoy that the mics have the sustain on a bit.l, but they dont always work very well. The system feels a little clunky but when youre drinking and having a good time, its hardly any inconvenience.

  • Review 33 (2019-12-06 - Rating: 5)

    Loved this place since day one, best friend works here😬💖

  • Review 34 (2019-04-14 - Rating: 4)

    Had their Moscow mule here and was pretty good. This is a nice social place where theres an open karaoke and can play beer pong and dices! Nice atmosphere for gatherings.

  • Review 35 (2021-09-27 - Rating: 5)

    Really fun spot. So much cheaper than all the k-town karaoke places too!

  • Review 36 (2022-06-03 - Rating: 4)

    The vibes are good, the drinks are a little expensive, and the system that plays the karaoke picks never works properly. Even if you were up next to find some times itll just put you at the bottom of the list or skip you entirely.

  • Review 37 (2019-04-18 - Rating: 5)

    A whole lot or fun this side of the Pacific. Impressive selection. Service was very attentive and the crowd was much fun.

  • Review 38 (2019-12-12 - Rating: 5)

    Pretty cool! Very modern, big and pretty inside. No charge for songs but each table does have a limit.

  • Review 39 (2021-10-08 - Rating: 5)

    FAMTASTIC spot!! The bartender Fernando SO MUCH FUN and is amazing and the owner Jack is sooo wonderful!

  • Review 40 (2017-01-25 - Rating: 5)

    Been twice for birthday karaoke! Huge rooms, strong drinks, great crowd, attentive staff. Close to the train.

  • Review 41 (2017-09-07 - Rating: 5)

    Great dive kareoke bar great staff

  • Review 42 (2018-09-24 - Rating: 5)

    Karaoke is free all night with the purchase of a drink.

  • Review 43 (2019-07-25 - Rating: 4)

    Nice place even for an inpromptu session with a bunch of friends in the public bar area, which is very spacious. The staff was super friendly, and were very helpful when we asked for help multiple time trying to navigate the overcomplicated touchscreen song interface. Theres a $15 drink minimum and then your table can queue up to seven or so songs at a time.

  • Review 44 (2019-01-17 - Rating: 5)

    Great place to do karaoke with friends! Only 50 dollars for a room that includes drinks for free (up to 50 dollars worth). We had 5 people in our group. There wasnt a song that we could not find which was good too.

  • Review 45 (2018-08-14 - Rating: 5)

    BINY Karaoke Bar, in NYC, might be the best in New York.

  • Review 46 (2018-06-07 - Rating: 4)

    Fun, casual place. Mainly just one big room that you sing in along with everyone else in the bar. Great Happy hour spot!

  • Review 47 (2019-09-25 - Rating: 5)

    The drinks are strong and priced amazingly I had an extreme blast last night and will be going regularly on Tuesdays.

  • Review 48 (2019-07-30 - Rating: 4)

    With all the KTVs dwindling in the Chinatown area, its nice to see Binys holding up the fort. Good drink menus, decent music choices, clean bathrooms, what more could you as for? 5 stars if they upgrade their ktv software to something more 21st century

  • Review 49 (2021-10-11 - Rating: 5)

    Lovely spot for Karaoke and they make a killer whiskey sour!!!👊🏿

  • Review 50 (2013-04-16 - Rating: 4)

    I was here for a friends birthday. The restaurant was king enough to let us store her surprise birthday cake in the fridge while we were having dinner. The remote controls for the karaoke were easy to use and it was nice to sit, relax and listen to the birthday girl sing her heart out to some kpop tunes. The food is good and the song selction is decent.

  • Review 51 (2019-06-16 - Rating: 5)

    This place was a surprise. From the outside it looks like a dive. Once up the long staircase to the second floor, you enter a small space with a tiny bar. The room is, however, huge.It has tables along the walls and a nice large dancing and performing area. The song lyrics are displayed on a cinema sized screen, which was a major surprise.The crowd is young here, 20s to 30s, and very friendly. And they do get rowdy. The drink menu is standard and affordable, but has surprises like jager bombs, Long Island iced tea and the Wonder Wheel which contains numerous shots in a clear plexiglass ferris wheel for $80.00.The food menu is Hong Kong Chinese, so do not expect an Sichuan spicy dishes here. I highly recommend the fried pork dumplings. They come wrapped in a delicately thin, almost cellophane shell and are lightly fried. They are totally unlike the doughy, heavily fried versions in most Chinese restaurants.The lo mein here is vermicelli, not the thick noodles like other places. The surprise here is that you can order it with vegetables, chicken, fish, shrimp or, wait for it... Spam. Crazy sounding, but excellent.There are no private party rooms here. But I highly recommend it for its party atmosphere.

    Small, casual venue in Chinatown. Huge public room but the machines are confusing so it takes a while to find a song.
