I know Koreatown has been a favorite of mine, but how can it not be!? Table grilled meat, 24 hour spas, and top notch karaoke. We’re talking private room, swank bar, space age bathrooms that sometimes confuddle … but in a good way. Maru has it all.
Tucked in a high floor of a Koreatown multiplex, the karaoke hot spot is about as cool as it comes to belt out some Journey or Bon Jovi. Grab a private room for a guarantee of $250 with vodka bottles and mixers and smash in about 20 friends. Or pay $60 per hour and pay for drinks as they come. Are there cheaper karaoke places? Yep. Are they so accommodating and fab? Nope. Just prearrange what you want and make your bar limit clear, and you are guaranteed a good time. Depending on your friends voices (or lack there of).
Maru is located at 11 W 32nd St (between 5th Ave & Broadway). Call for reservations at (212) 273-3413.
Hey do you know the age-limit here because I know several K-town joints have a 21+ requirement.
