BCD Penthouse Karaoke

You're walking down Oldham Street past the usual suspects when you spot the entrance that leads upstairs to what might be Manchester's best-kept karaoke secret. The private rooms here actually have decent sound equipment – none of that tinny microphone nonsense that makes you sound like you're singing into a tin can. The setup is proper Korean-style karaoke with individual booths where you and your mates can belt out everything from indie classics to guilty pleasure pop without judgment. The song selection is massive, the rooms are dark enough to hide your embarrassment, and the fact they're open until 4am means this is where your night ends up when everywhere else has kicked you out. It's not fancy, but it absolutely does the job.
