Space Karaoke Bar & Lounge Koreatown NYC is the room to book if you want ten private suites, a full bar, and an eleventh-floor view over West 32nd Street without leaving the Herald Square area.
It’s also, at this point, the karaoke spot with the biggest social footprint in the neighborhood: its own TikTok has racked up tens of thousands of views on room tours alone, and it keeps popping up in “day in my life” videos from birthday groups and bachelorette parties who found it before their friends did.
Here’s everything worth knowing before you book a room at Space Karaoke Bar & Lounge Koreatown NYC, plus three backup spots on the same three blocks in case their calendar’s full.
Space Karaoke Bar & Lounge Koreatown NYC – 🏆 Bowery Beat Editor Top Choice
Address: 34 W 32nd St, Floor 11, New York, NY 10001
Phone: (646) 756-4206
Style: 10 private karaoke suites, full bar, BYOB option
Vibe: Neon-lit, high-energy, built for groups who want to be seen doing it
Price: $$ (rooms from roughly $40/person/hour, 4-person minimum, verify current rate before booking)
Website: spacekaraoke.com
This is the pick because it’s genuinely built for a night, not just a session. Ten rooms means there’s almost always something open on a walk-in, and the sound system and song library get called out in review after review as a step up from the scrappier spots a few doors down.
The BYOB option is the real hook: bring your own bottle, skip the markup, and let them handle mixers and chasers instead. It’s why Space Karaoke Bar & Lounge Koreatown NYC shows up so often in budget-conscious “cheap night out” content alongside the bottle-service crowd.
Hours run late: roughly 5pm to 3am Monday through Wednesday, later on Thursday, and past 4am on Friday and Saturday. Rooms can be booked online or by calling ahead for larger groups, buyouts, or catering.
32 Karaoke
Address: 32 W 32nd St, Floor 6, New York, NY 10001
Phone: (212) 290-0086
Style: Private rooms with song libraries in English, Spanish, Korean, Japanese, and Chinese
Vibe: No-frills, straightforward, locals’ pick
Price: $$ (around $36/hour for up to 4 people, verify before booking)
Website: 32karaoke.com
Two doors down from Space Karaoke, 32 Karaoke is the option for people who just want to sing without the production. The multilingual song catalog is the real selling point if your group isn’t all singing in English.
It’s open every day of the week until 4am, which makes it a reliable overflow option when Space Karaoke Bar & Lounge Koreatown NYC is fully booked on a Friday.
Maru Karaoke Lounge
Address: 11 W 32nd St, 3rd & 4th Floor, New York, NY 10001
Phone: (212) 273-3413
Style: Bi-level lounge with 6 private karaoke rooms
Vibe: Upscale, moody lighting, starts as a lounge before it turns into a party
Price: $$$ (around $60/hour for up to 6 people, 2-hour minimum, verify before booking)
Website: marukaraokelounge.com
Maru is the one people bring up unprompted because it’s been name-checked as a filming location tied to “Succession,” and the bi-level space still looks the part: dim, a little glossy, built for a group that wants photos as much as a mic.
It’s smaller than Space Karaoke Bar & Lounge Koreatown NYC (six rooms instead of ten) and runs pricier, so it’s the pick for a milestone night rather than a spontaneous Tuesday.
Muses 35
Address: 248 W 35th St, New York, NY 10001
Phone: (646) 669-8050
Style: Two floors of private rooms plus a bar/lounge area
Vibe: A little more low-key, good for a group that wants a bar to fall back into
Price: $$ (rooms from around $30-50/hour depending on group size, verify before booking)
Website: musesnyc.com
Muses 35 sits just far enough from the Koreatown cluster (closer to Penn Station) that it’s a solid pick if your group is splitting from New Jersey Transit or the Long Island Rail Road straight into a room.
Daily happy hour from 4 to 7pm at the bar is a nice bonus if half your group wants to drink before anyone touches a mic.
So, what’s the move? If you want the biggest room selection and a BYOB workaround, Space Karaoke Bar & Lounge Koreatown NYC is still the one to book first.
If you want multilingual song libraries, 32 Karaoke is next door. If you want the moodier, pricier version for a milestone night, Maru delivers. If your group is coming from Penn Station and wants a real bar attached, Muses 35 is the easier walk.
There isn’t one single right room, and honestly that’s the fun of Koreatown on a Friday: you can walk from door to door until someone has an opening.
Grab your loudest friends, book ahead for a Friday or Saturday, and go be terrible at karaoke somewhere no one outside the room can hear you. For more of the city’s after-dark options, see our guide to dive bars in the East Village if a mic isn’t required.
