Overview

Live music venue boasts mahogony paneling, chanderliers, huge circular banquettes, but best of all great sound.

History

Great sound, then a saloon, then karaoke

When we listed the Annex, we praised the mahogany paneling, the chandeliers and the huge circular banquettes, then saved the best for last: great sound. It was a music venue, and in 2007 it hosted Club NME every Thursday^{1, 2}.

It closed on September 12, 2009, with a final Ruff Club party³. By October the room was the Doghouse Saloon².

In 2010 the space was set to carry on as a venue, now with a full kitchen⁴, and in 2011 a new one, Tammany Hall, opened there⁵. Tammany Hall closed in 2014⁶.

In 2015 Karaoke Boho planned a move from 196 Orchard Street to 152 Orchard, a block and a half away⁶. It's there now as Karaoke Boho Orchard, renting karaoke rooms^{7, 8}. The room still runs on sound; these days the customers supply it.
