Some of us are hidden singers, others love singing in our school choir, and most of us are bathroom singers. But when you enter a karaoke room, everybody is a singer. Burnaby has some of the best karaoke spots in the Lower Mainland. One of my personal favorites is Solo Karaoke. They have soundproof rooms and a high-quality system. One of my main complaints in the karaoke room is always not being able to choose the songs we want if they are not already available on the system. But here you can choose songs straight from YouTube, so there’s never a lack of songs to sing. They have got an โAll you can singโ deal which costs about 22-25 dollars from Sunday to Thursday, and considering their timings are 2 pm- 12 am, that is a lot of time. Their Google reviews are a testament that it’s not only me who regularly goes back there. They take good care of hygiene, with changing mic covers in between groups, clean rooms, and decent food.
Gal Chae Karaoke is another place in Burnaby where you can visit for that nostalgic karaoke experience. Itโs where the lights shine brightly in colors of blue, green, and red. The sofas have been sat in and now they are comfortable pieces. Their rooms make all the difference. They create an intimate experience, and the owners treated you like family. They give complimentary mic covers, and food and drinks are allowed during happy hour. It can only be paid in cash or debit, though, so keep that in mind. If you are a more professional singer, they have a pitch, tone scoring system so you can keep track of how well you are hitting certain notes. They are quite affordable, with discounts during weekdays before 7 pm to get a 50% discount. The cost is on average, just about 10 dollars per person per hour.
If you are someone who enjoys a luxury karaoke experience, then V Karaoke is the place to be. Their rooms are spacious, with amazing song selection UI and audio systems. But be ready to spend extra money, because their food is a little on the expensive side. Moreover, there is a gratuity charge depending on how big the group is. One of the most selling points of this place is how large their song collection is and how much variety there it. They have got the hit songs and classic songs.
So, in conclusion, they all have their pros and cons, and it really depends on what you are after. Solo karaoke gets you a large song collection, with clean rooms, whereas Gal Chae is very budget-friendly, quite intimate, and gives you that nostalgic karaoke bar vibe. V karaoke is perfect if you are okay spending a bit more for a more luxurious karaoke experience. Each spot caters to different Burnaby audiences and music lovers, filling the night with fun and music.
