Use to be a fun spot. It’s become a pay the dj to sing repeatedly. So if you want to sing bring lots of cash to sing “free” karaoke.The bartenders and crowd were fun.Old towne tavern in Covington is a much better karaoke option for Fridays and Saturdays. Better song selection, cheaper drinks, better dj.

If I could give a 4.5 I would. This place was amazing. The bartender was very friendly and accommodating. The only nitpick I have is the karaoke didn't have all the songs we wanted to sing. Perhaps its licensing or I just have obscure taste. Other than that. It was amazing and I definitely recommend this place to other folks looking to sing their night away.

Tokyo Kitty is always a blast. I believe it is the only true dedicated karaoke bar in the Cincinnati area. If you're interested in hitting the stage and having a few drinks, I highly recommend it. The atmosphere is always so fun, and the main stage area always lends for people to meet and hang out with one another. They also have private rooms for rent as well. Bar staff is always friendly and helpful. I will say - the cocktail menu is smaller than it used to be. Each drink is really well crafted, but I miss the extra variety. There is also very little seating in the main area, so be ready to stand and dance to the music.

This is the most fun I've had out "clubbing".Pros:- Love the privacy- waitress was VERY attentive and quick to take drink orders- robot drink delivery was awesome and fast- song selection was awesome and intuitive- outside "public" karaoke/dance floor was super fun for a wind down or a warm up while waiting for a private room- atmosphere and decor reminiscent of Japan traditional Karaoke barsCons:- pricing a bit high- (no) food selection/service- no free parking downtown- limitations on people in private room

Wow this place was a blast. We went here for a combined bachelor bachelorette party and had an amazing time!! We reserved a private room in the back and our service was fantastic. They also have karaoke at the main bar which was nice to know you don’t always have to reserve a room. They had a great song selection and it was a very welcoming environment. The guests, the workers, everyone was so fun. No judgement zone, which is good for those like me not blessed with great vocals. I can’t wait to go back here. Also…. The mirror entrance was a vibbee .

Super cute place but the staff was rude and inconsiderate including our server from last night saying “oh I don’t know what drink” and “so that’s going to be two or three of that drink” like excuse me?!?! And she was really pushy to get us out despite us having fifteen minutes of room availability! I won’t come back Because all the staff are really rude and the manager really needs to have a talk with them or maybe even the owner on how to treat people with respect! Update on my November review I do not recommend this place because the drinks are expensive the servers were rude also slow to understand their drink menu and despite getting an answer back from the owner of this business saying he wants to make up for it by giving me something. I have yet to receive anything despite the bad service me and my family have received during our trip on the 26th I will not be back with my family or friends and recommend to others spend you money else where….. Still haven’t herd back from the owner about them making a mistake and trying to make up for it after our call this place can go to hell.

Fun little karaoke bar in downtown cincy! The main bar is open if you want to sing in front of a crowd, or you can rent a private room with some friends. Gets pretty busy on the weekends so book ahead if you can. Prices are reasonable split between a group, you pay for a set amount of time. Energetic staff and good service, would recommend for a good time!

Amazing place for karaoke. Love the vibe and energy in this place. Fun place to hangout with friends.
Such a terrible experience from what I expected. We rented a private room 12/17, was SUPPOSED to have a drink-robot which was (go-figure) out-of-order. So they assured us they'd come provide room-service (because why else charge us a 30% gratuity fee?) The two bartenders didn't wait on us the entire party, we had to walk to the lobby every time we needed anything, so I'm not even sure what they think they deserved gratuity for. We then stayed-after, cleaned the room, put everything in the trash, stacked the glass-cups, made it VERY easy for them to turn-around, maybe a quick sweep & mop. They sat and smiled in our faces for another hour+ while we were in the lobby, continuing to order drinks & support their establishment, never said a word to us about the room - because there was nothing to say. Then as soon as we left, within a half hour, they were messaging our host telling her they were charging her an additional cleaning fee. So bogus. Don't bother with them, it's cute-decor but ran like a scam & so ghetto. Get your equipment fixed or learn to wait on customers, staff is just LAZY. Oh, and music-selection is mostly 10+ years old, very outdated system with NONE of the songs you are looking for. Could be a nice place if it were SOLD and ran by better staff & management , with better upkeep.... but overall, trash.

Quick service and the karaoke is always fun.More importantly, though, the bartenders were careful not to over serve me when I showed up after a company Christmas party. That alone is worth five stars.

Tokyo Kitty is so much fun! Get a group of your friends, rent a room, bring your own food, order drinks and sing your hearts out! We rented our room for 2 hrs, and the tine flew by! The Staff was great, very nice!! Don't dress warm in there because it heats up in those small rooms. But the seating accommodates a nice size group. It's cozy! The reason I didn't give it 5 stars was the two things: We ordered a pitcher of some tropical drink and it tasted like kool aid. Could not tell it was an alcoholic drink. Also the microphones barely picked up our voices. Aside from those two small things, I would go again!

Really great karaoke spot. The private rooms are particularly fun. I would pre-game as their drinks are expensive and not particularly good.
