    Lured in with FALSE info and deception. I called ahead to verify alcohol policy. G S Studios said I could Bring My Own Beer (BYOB), but my party’s Beer was confiscated AFTER we were settled in. Typical desperate business tactics.

    Look, if you're looking for a high-end karaoke bar, this isn't the place. But with that said, we had a blast here. The room rate is affordable, the alcohol flows, and the staff are chill. With EVERY bar in Waikiki packed to capacity, GS Studios took great care of us.

    This place is lit. They have a nice selection of the smiths, which is rare to find at a karaoke place. If you want to impress your edgy goth gf, then take her here.

    Karaoke in Waikiki... This was a cool little spot for that....simple with several rooms. The song selections were good, and the equipment worked well. Staff was friendly and helpful.

    The place is kinda run down and old. You can tell by it's age. Their set up is very different because you have to download an app to look at the listing number of the song which is kinda odd. It says that it can mirror back to the screen but we didn't see any QR code to scan by it. When we asked for assistance, all they said is download the app. Yes, we did that but kinda hard when person is doing all the work and inputting the numbers for the songs. Lol. Cheapest shot they got is $7 by the way. If you want to pay the convenience of singing in Waikiki then come here otherwise there are newer karaoke joints in town that I think you'll like better.

    Love this place! Great song selection in different languages, fun private rooms, decent prices, and they have a bar (although their drinks are incredibly watered down). They allow outside food to be brought in, but not outside beverages.

    If you’re looking for a dive bar version of a karaoke bar, this is it. The room was dirty and the speaker system was mediocre at best. The music has been ripped from YouTube, so the pitch and system they have you use is subpar. You could probably have a better experience in your hotel playing music on your tv. The only thing going for it is that their staff was really nice.

    Love the private rooms and even though I don't sing I felt comfortable with the company I was it. Love the privacy and nice bartender that took care of us.

    If you’re planning on communicating with the staff for a drink and expect a semblance of respect, I recommend going elsewhere. Also, the place must have a myriad of health code violations—the bathrooms appear to be cleaned monthly at best.

    Decent private rooms. Sane drink pricing. Go with a group and sing the night away..... ✌🏾👌🏾

    Despite needing a makeover and deep cleaning, bring your drunk friends together here for good times and good laughs. A place to make good and bad memories.

    Had so much fun here! I love that there are individual rooms to do karaoke. Drinks were so-so. But staff was awesome. Very affordable and great location

  • 5/5 Emma T. 8 months ago on Google
    Rented a room out for almost 2 hours (maybe 2.5) for 5 people and we each paid about $12.50 each. I would say it was a SUPER fun experience with friends just screaming our lungs out to our favorite songs (they have a lot of songs both old and new, and choosing + entering songs is an easy process). Some of us were minors, so we couldn't order any drinks and we also had to be out by 10 pm, which I think are pretty easy rules to follow. But we got free complimentary iced water, which was definitely helpful when our throats were sore. You can also turn off the lights and turn on the disco lights to add to the vibe. Overall, it was convenient and fun!

    It's a room with air conditioned and furnitures several flat screen t.v.'s and a 2 folder binder with lots of songs & artist to choose from & 2 mic's to sing to your hearts content providing how much you payed for the allotted time you purchased. Also this place is not BYOB you must purchase liquor at the establishment but not food that's the only thing you can bring! Nevertheless your friends & family makes the atmosphere much pleasant! So if you into singing and just goofing around with loved ones, this place will be ideal for fun for the whole family!

    Ok karaoke place. Good song library, but facility feels dated and not very clean. Staff seemed pretty apathetic and unhelpful and was slow to respond to room calls.

  • 5/5 Marichele D. 1 year ago on Google
    My family likes to come here because they treat us well. No frills karaoke but we always have a great time!

  • 2/5 Steven I. 2 years ago on Google
    We were travelers from Canada, their app only worked for USA based phones, luckily only one of our friends had a phone from the USA, we had to share that. Their microphone set up we had to adjust ourselves since it didn't work, they tried kicking us out 10 minutes early even though we had paid for two hours until close. It's one of the only places within this touristy area though so can't recommend anywhere else.

    We reserved a room for 5 and the Room and space was great along with the Microphones.. we had lots of fun.. so much fun that we had others that wanted to join us in our room. Wonderful!! Lol.

  • 4/5 Joshua Y. 3 years ago on Google
    Good solid karaoke spot. Good music (but no chinese songs) and good speaker/mic set up compared to some of the other karaoke spots I've been to. There are drinks at the bar, and you get complimentary water. There is a bathroom too. I don't think it's particularly covid safe, as it's really hard to enforce all customers (especially if drunk/tipsy) to wear their masks in the public hallway. I would come back.

    This place is amazing with friendly local staff. Always a good time

  • 5/5 Shirley C. 2 years ago on Google
    We always have a great time here. Love the private rooms. Drinks are good and staff is always friendly

  • 3/5 Tanya P. 2 years ago on Google
    Great low prices for private rooms and one of the biggest music catalogs for karaoke around. The rest is super seedy, but it's a fun time.

😐 We checked in here for a late lunch and it was a bit of a disappointment. The food was better than it looked like and the beer was alright as well. The place was almost empty and there were a lot of pigeons. I gave only 3 stars for the service because you order online and there's little interaction...
