Reviews of Po Karaoke Bar
B.
Group of friends came down here because there was a voucher special. The place isn't hard to find even though there are road works just outside. The facilities are quite nice. Clean room and fairly soundproof. There was a console at one end where you could pick the songs and arrange the order. There was a decent selection of song in multiple languages. I was surprised at the selection of English Rock songs they had.
Had some snacks and they were ok. Not sure if you could order from the room but we ended up just heading out to grab food and drinks.
It was quite a nice place for karaoke.
K.
We went Happy hour and paid $18 that goes towards food & drinks (so karaoke is free) the two ladies were super lovely but the guy needs to work on his customer service LOL drinks are usual price. Air con in the room isn’t good, even tho they said it was full blast but it’s not a good time trying to sing in a warm room. Song selection is quite limited, definitely needs an upgrade. Most songs were classics which is good but a bigger variety would have been better. Who doesn’t have Whitney Houston’s I wanna Dance with somebody??!! The karaoke system to choose a song could also get a upgrade too, it was a bit slow & then you try to look up an artist like Mariah Carey only to have to search thru a few ‘M’s’ before you actually get to Mariah. We spent half the time queueing up songs bcos it was such a mission. Probably won’t go there again.
K.
Staff were super friendly and welcoming and looked after us. The happy hour is super fun and have a great time
G.
Quick: what would bring this from 3 to 4 or 5 rating? A MUCH more usable digital interface to search for artists (bc seriously half to impossible) as well as just an ever-so-slightly louder volume so we can hear the music when singing. We actually REALLY missed the paper binders of songs after fighting with the selection machine for over an hour to build a playlist ... in the end we realised you could only reasonably search by song titles and even then if there's a song in English you're looking for, you might need to select the song with the artist name written on Chinese to hopefully get the song you're after. Very limited English song selection outside of those you'll find in the top 50 karaoke song playlists, and this is based on our group's experience at other karaoke bars nearby. Otherwise though, Po was much more modern and 'classy' in comparison from the bar to the rooms and furniture, but if you can't easily find songs, nothing else matters. They may still have some Groupon deals going on which are a Must Do if you're keen to come try it out, especially when grocery $10 bottle of wine is $48. They're also extremely prompt on kicking you out at your time limit, even mid song, which seemed a bit harsh when there was nobody queued up in the lobby ...
J.
Cheap drinks and a fun night out once you figure out how the machine works!
R.
Lets start upon arrival.
There is quite a climb upstairs, be prepared to for a little leg workout. Think of it as a nice warm up before the lungs release the sound of music.
You see the bar / front desk as you reach the summit. You're greeted with smiles and hellos, cute little K Pop hand waves from the lovely ladies behind the counter. The service is wonderful.
They've got big rooms and small. During our session they would replenish our water jugs.
At the end we went over time by 30 mins, the manager even joined in!
Such lovely people, and prices were decent.
There's one thing.. the software they use for music is quite difficult to navigate and will take time getting used to. You think they don't have all the songs but they do, the search technique is different than what you'd usually do at home on the computer.
Instead of typing out the whole name of the song. You instead need to type out the initials like for Michael Jackson you type "MJ".
Took a while to figure that out but I hope this helps! Enjoy!
My go to Karaoke bar.
B.
A good karaoke bar, a bit expensive tho. $28 per room and a min tab spend of $20 pp. Pretty good song selection, but there were definitley songs we wanted that they didnt have. The microphones echo your voice and there is no option to turn it off. The machine is in chinese but the song titles are mostly in english
C.
Love love love, I’ve got a soft spot for the old asian guy here he’s so nice! All the staff were trying their hardest not to laugh at our singing but hey, thank you for having a clean, warm (AC in rooms) and amazing place to sing our hearts out heheheh
A.
Um I had fun no doubt coz singing is always fun especially with friends. But man it was difficult to search for songs. We gave up on searching for songs. Instead we chose by artist. I would say this bar suits those into Asian songs
The writings were in Asian language. I don't know which one maybe Chinese??
L.
Super fun. Silly place to go with friends and enjoy karaoke. You can get private rooms with just your friends. That is the selling point. But the venue also sells drinks.
P.
Clean, modern interior.
Music selecting system can be a little difficult to navigate.
Decent song selection but not the best.
Great happy hour special, would recommend going at this time.
There is a food menu also.
My favourite Auckland karaoke bar so far.
G.
Sing your heart out with your friends. Pay the flat rate and spend the credit on a drink or some apps. The song selection is very good.
C.
It was fun the room was a little outdated but spacious and tidy. The music wasn't nsync with the lyrics and selecting a song or certain artist wasn't easy. Food was nice though! Gets quite busy...
B.
Song selection is all right but the karaoke machine seemed pretty sketchy. The music cut out completely several times. The lyrics often lagged behind the music which made for a frustrating experience.
A.
Used a Groupon voucher for a 3 hour karaoke session during happy hour on a weekday, which is super worth it. Had about 3-4 beers per person with some finger food & it cost about $33 per pax. Mostly a self-service order for food and drinks but the staff were friendly and really efficient in serving up our order to our room. Had the staff teach us use the Karaoke app so we didn't waste any time& had such a fun night there. Definitely going again!
A.
Nice experience at PO Karaoke bar. We enjoyed and had fun singing the whole night for just 38$ per hour.
The only thing i would recommend is to update the songs up to date.
M.
Really good deal for karaoke. 5:30-9:00 and just pay a minimum of $18 worth of food. That’s dinner and drink sorted. However, the rooms are a bit old and the karaoke system barely had any English songs. Needs updating.
M.
Song choice was OK and the food wasn't too bad. Room was a little small for the 12 or so people we had, but the only real gripe was that the touch screen to select the songs wasn't very user-friendly or responsive. Still, not a bad night out.
N.
Had somewhat of an English language system and most Karaoke places don't have the system in English, so I wasn't bothered much from it. System was a bit slow, but they had WAY more traditional english songs, i.e. 80's, 90's, 00's rock. Had a massive group, and was a great price.
B.
Nice place for karaoke. They have an extensive food and drink menu. They also have happy hour every day from 6 to 9. This means the room is free provided you spend $18 minimum each.
R.
Hired a room for my hands night. Used my grabone voucher which included room hire and $130 towards food and beverage. The staff was attentive and efficient. The room we hired was big for about 20 people. Good sound system and mics. Had a great time.
E.
Fantastic Experience for Hen's Party! VIP room with easy to figure out touch screen, video's and music of actual songs, party lights, good aircon, drinks & yummy food on offer & even had our own private bathroom! Luxury! Almodt forgot they can validate your parking too!! Amazing! So much fun was had, new fav karaoke place.
p.
Not much choice of songs.. Also its not clean.. But its a great fun activity to do with friends.
P.
Love this place. We come here all the timr just for a laugh and to have a good night. Great service and they never kick us out even if we are really loud. The food is good also. The bonus with coming here particularly going into town is the free parking. Highly recommend.
D.
Had fun! Decent choice selection of songs but it took awhile to get use of the console. I recommend that you search from the "green magnifying glass" in the bottom right corner since then songs arent really allocated to the right area
L.
Totally worth it to go during happy hours! Nice facility and equipment too! Maybe the only problem is there is limited songs to choose from. But it is a good experience in general!
I.
Sing your lungs out. Great place. Food is OK. I love it. Favorite band is backstreet boys.
G.
It's a good place to hang out with friends! I find it pretty much in budget too! 38 dollars for an hour...and 20 dollars for a person..amazing place to spend quality time with a group of friends or family..
L.
Good food, decent selection of english songs and does have parking.
N.
Not much English music available. Good drink prices.
f.
would have given 5 stars but had trouble with the microphones & navigating our way through the karaoke list as it was mostly in another language (that we couldnt read) & the toilet that was attached to our big group room had a broken door (could not lock)
K.
Difficult to find the songs you want to sing. The songs weren't in alphabetical order. And we couldn't turn the mic down. And the toilet were dirty.
O.
Great facilities for a good night to sing along. Please get the drinks side of this place sorted and it will definitely be a favourite!
T.
Good value for happy hour. Large selection of songs. Food is decent.

(Translated) Overall OK, after all, the city has a parking lot and the weekdays has 3.5h Happy Hour. This should be the only one. Although the playlist is not up to date, and the sound quality is not bad, it is because the microphone volume is not adjustable and the reception is too obvious. In addition, there are too many light soy sauce and soy sauce in the claypot rice, and the bottom layer is too burnt.
(Original)
总体OK,毕竟city唱K有停车场且weekdays有3.5h Happy Hour应该仅此一家。虽然歌单唔系最新都还可以,音质也还可以,就系麦克风音量无得调,收音过于明显。另外煲仔饭生抽老抽太多,底层太焦。
D.
(Translated) Good place w/ reasonably priced food & drinks. Must try "Special Rice in Clay Pot"-you won't regret. Friends who come must eat claypot rice.

(Translated) Today, I came to his house to sing and a waitress served well. I said the weather was so cold. But when I went back to the private room and sat down, this little fairy brought me a cup of hot water. I was really moved. Thank you.

今天来他家唱歌一个女服务员服务好好啊我就说了天气好冷啊结果等我回到包间坐下这位小仙女给我送来了一杯热水 真的好感动啊 谢谢

(Translated) The men's toilet has a cracked toilet and the private room is too hot. Others are very good.
