To get a booking, we had to book 3 months in advance, once we arrived, they made out that they didn't have a booking for us but they were going to 'squeeze us in' which cut down our original booking by half an hour.

We then asked if we could extend our time, which was agreed to if we could change rooms, however once we change and purchasing a round of drinks they informed us we would not be able to stay as 'they had another booking' as we were leaving in the main entrance, I chatted to the next party who were heading into the room and they told me that they had only just dropped in with no reservations, then we worked out that it was because they had been charged more than us!

This is a extremely unprofessional way of carrying out a business, which was a shame as we enjoyed ourselves for the time we did get in there however we will not be going back as there are plenty of other karaoke bars which business ethic doesn't operate in such an appalling way.

We hired out the large karaoke room for a joint birthday celebration on the weekend after hearing some really good things about the Brazen Monkey. Pleased to say that we were not disappointed and had a fantastic night. The venue was great, and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. There were a few technical issues with the karaoke at the beginning, but the staff were very attentive and the problem was resolved. Highly recomended and will definitely be going back!

I've been here 3 times now and what I love is the fact that if you request in advance a song that they don't already have they'll have it on their machines in time for your party. The staff are lovely here and it's impossible not to have a good time. Big thumbs up for the BM!

Having spent a few years living in the far east I consider myself to be a bit of a karaoke connoisseur. I've sampled a lot of what London has to offer in terms of karaoke bars and more often than not I feel very disappointed,

I'm delighted to say that I've found a place that ticks all the boxes. Brazen Monkey is conveniently located just a short walk from Piccadilly Circus. The room we were given accommodated our group of 25 with enough space to have a dance whilst we murdered some classics.

The drink prices are fantastic as are their room rates. They have a bar on the Ground floor with a couple of hilarious barmen that made us all feel very welcome. That's a rarity these days I tell you!

If you're going there for a gourmet meal I'd suggest eating elsewhere first but that's not to say the food isn't good. We did the set course meal with unlimited karaoke and although we weren't bowled over by the food, we weren't disappointed either,

I think my favourite thing about BM has to be the fact that once you all get to your room, you are left alone to enjoy yourselves - unlike other places where you have some rude member of staff telling you order more drinks, times up etc etc.

All in all I have found - at long last - a karaoke bar in London that lives up to this title.

Been to a lot of karaoke bars in my time but this one is something special!!!

We had our office work do here and ended up staying 6 hours!!! It's such an awesome place and they really have thought of everything.

Hands down the best karaoke night out this side of Tokyo!
