OK Karaoke - Karaoke Rooms Newcastle

OK Karaoke brings private-room singing to 255 Hunter Street in Newcastle CBD, with a fully licensed bar and more than 22,000 songs to choose from. The format is straightforward: book a room and time online, arrive for a drink, then settle in with your own group rather than performing in front of strangers. The song library covers current hits, well-known anthems and multiple languages, giving groups plenty of scope to shape the session around their own tastes.

There are two themed rooms, each designed for groups of up to eight. The Disco Den has a disco-ball ceiling and neon pink lighting aimed at big, upbeat singalongs. The Stardust Room takes its cues from David Bowie, with moody blue lighting, a neon feature and a more rock-focused feel. Rooms start from $60 an hour, with availability checked and bookings made through the venue’s website.

The private setup suits a range of occasions listed by the venue, including birthday parties, date nights, hens and bucks nights, corporate events, team celebrations, university groups, social clubs and Christmas parties. It also works for a casual Friday night when your group wants a dedicated space and control of the playlist. The rooms are capped at eight people, so larger celebrations may need to be arranged across multiple bookings or combined with the venue’s other experiences.

OK Karaoke is part of a broader entertainment venue that also includes a steampunk bar, escape rooms and Quizy, a live game show-style experience. These can be combined with karaoke for a larger celebration or team event, while the bar provides a place to relax between activities. For a Newcastle night out centred on singing, the appeal is the privacy, themed rooms and unusually large song selection rather than a traditional stage show. Friday and Saturday sessions are noted as popular, so booking ahead is sensible.
