Overview
Karaoke doesn't come in any bigger sizes than this. This four story tall, eight hundred capacity venue, underwent an eight million dollar transformation to create the biggest and best karaoke in the country. Performing in front of the assembled diners here requires nerves of steel, or all the dutch courage the bar can send your way. Thankfully a team of back-up singers will help smooth over the rough edges.
Why You Should Go
- Karaoke doesn't get any bigger than this. Muster up the courage to get on stage, and you'll have more than a forgotten drunken moment. You'll have a story and a DVD to go with it.
- The kitchen, headed up by Chef Kerry Simon, delivers food that's a big step beyond most Time's Square offerings. And it does so at surprisingly reasonable prices.
What You Should Know
- The price of fame can be steep. $28 will get you on stage. If you want a DVD to remember the experience it'll be extra.
- Remember priority seating works in inverse for karaoke. The hot seats are the ones back from the stage, not close to it.
- Every table has a computer system with a custom app you can use to select the tune you'd like to perform, provide feedback about a performance, or flirt with the table of hotties across the room.

Went to the Spotlight Bar at the end of April with 3 friends. It was the COOLEST place we saw in New York. The people were GREAT (Pauly Walnuts, the cute young door guy, our bartender downstairs, and the owner were all FUN!! and NICE!!) Got up on stage, with the backup singers.. what a rush!! Our friend was at home in Ohio watching on line live! This is a must see place!!!!!
