Bow Street Tavern is a five-floor Young's pub right by the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden, and its second-floor Records Room is the bit you book for karaoke. It is a private room, so you and your group get the mic to yourselves rather than queuing for a slot in a busy bar. That makes it a good fit for birthdays, work nights out and anyone who wants to belt out a tune without an audience of strangers.

The room holds a fair-sized group and comes with a karaoke package, a proper sound system and lights. You book ahead rather than walk in, and you can add food and drinks packages on top. Prices start from around £20 per person. Handy if you want the whole night, drinks and singing, in one Covent Garden spot.

The karaoke setup

Karaoke lives in the Records Room on the second floor, hired as a private space so it is just your group. You get a karaoke package with a large song list that runs from classic hits to current chart songs, plus a top-tier sound system and lights to set the mood. The room takes up to around 30 people, so it suits bigger groups as well as smaller ones. DesignMyNight lists the price from roughly £20 per person and a capacity nearer 25, so confirm the exact headcount and rate when you book. Full bar service comes to the room.

Good to know

This is a booking, not a walk-in. Reserve the Records Room by phone on 020 7379 0154, by email, or through the online booking system on the website. Optional food packages include burger sliders and tacos, and drinks packages cover fizz and beer buckets, so you can sort the whole night in advance. The pub itself opens 11am to 11pm Monday to Thursday, 11am to midnight Friday and Saturday, and noon to 10pm Sunday. Kitchen runs roughly noon to 9pm, a little earlier on Sunday.

Where it sits

You are in the heart of Covent Garden at 37 Bow Street, WC2E 7AU, opposite the Royal Opera House. Covent Garden tube is the closest station, with Leicester Square and Holborn both a short walk too, so it is easy to reach for a mixed group coming from different directions. The building spans five floors with a rooftop pub garden, so you can start with drinks elsewhere in the venue and move up to the Records Room for the singing, or carry on at the bar afterwards.
