Kbox

I’ve been to K BOX a few times now and it has become my go-​to Karaōke place. However the last few times we’ve had microphones that didn’t work and when asked to be replaced they said they changed the batteries and even if they did, it did nothing. Atmosphere wise; it’s great. I’ve been to Japan and this is the closest you’ll get in Adelaide. The only other issue I can think of is that it’s so fun an hour isn’t enough at K BOX.

I don’t know if it’s because I’m half Japanese, but I just can’t resist karaōke. When I’ve had a couple to drink and I’m ready to break out into song, Kbox is my preferred karaōke bar.
As Rohan mentioned, it really does feel like you’ve been teleported into a Toyko-​esque future, and it’s a wonderful escape from the scummy sights of Hindley Street. Just like any other karaōke bar, you get your own private room, with the prices varying with the size of the room.
They’ve got a great selection of Japanese, Chinese, Korean and English songs on their playlist, including all the tacky hits you expect to hear once the drunkards in your group start feeling the pull of the power ballad. The drinks aren’t too pricey, and there’s a comprehensive selection of spirits at the bar. Make sure you bring a good amount of booze into the room and let the hilarity ensue. And don’t take it too seriously; nobody wants some Australian Idol belting it out and making the others feel worthless. On the other hand, if we’re talking Idol audition bloopers, then proceed to embarrass yourselves!

Once you enter Kbox you feel like you have instantly escaped from Adelaide and vortex-​ed through to Tokyo.
Bright lights draw you inside (This is high class karaōke, marketed well).
Room hire starts from $ 40 an hour, but can exceed $ 100, depending on the size, so it’s not exactly value for money.
The main positive being, It’s your own personal space, so perfect for those who get stage fright (Your critics are only your friends).
Choose who you go with with wisely, and never put the designated drunk or birthday girl in charge of sound.
They need to turn the air conditioners down, so perfect for 40 degree days, otherwise bring your jacket.

Less Bill Murray, and more Charlie Brown
