Overview

Head upstairs to the 3rd floor where you and your friends can rent a private karaoke room and then bring in your own food and beer. It has more in common with your average hotel than your average bar.

History

Private rooms, bring your own everything

In 2007 New York Magazine named iBop the best cheap private-room karaoke, and the place was entirely bring-your-own¹. It sat on the third floor of 25 West 35th Street, and we said at the time it had more in common with your average hotel than your average bar². New York Magazine's guide now lists it as closed, and nothing we found names what's there now³.
