11-14 Hanover Place, London · WC2E 9JP

Inamo Games and Karaoke Room is the private Onyx Room tucked inside inamo's pan-Asian restaurant in Covent Garden, about 30 seconds from the tube. It is built for groups who want to eat, drink and sing in one booked-out space rather than a public karaoke bar, so it suits birthdays, work do's and anything that needs its own room and bar.

The setup pairs a karaoke machine with two giant screens and PS4 and Wii consoles, so the night can swing between singing and gaming. It is a hire space, not a walk-in, so you enquire ahead and there is a minimum spend per time slot. The single most useful thing to know: it comes with its own private bar and food, so you are not leaving the room all evening.

The karaoke setup

The Onyx Room runs a karaoke machine through two giant screens, with a song library inamo lists in the hundreds. Alongside the mic you get PS4 and Wii consoles plugged into the same screens, so a group can split between singing and gaming without anyone going quiet. The room seats up to 34 for dining, takes 26 on a U-shape and 16 on a long table, and holds up to 70 for a standing reception. Backlit onyx panels give it a darker, club-like feel rather than a bright booth, and the private bar sits in the room itself.

Good to know

This is a booked private hire, not a drop-in. You enquire through inamo with your date, headcount and budget, and a minimum spend applies per time slot. Expect a £10 per person deposit that comes off your final bill and a refundable £100 damage deposit. Food is buffet-style, listed from £260 for ten guests then £26 a head after, with drinks packages roughly £100 to £130 and an unlimited option around £60 per person for just under three hours. Confirm current prices and the song count when you book.

Getting there

The room is at 11-14 Hanover Place, WC2E 9JP, a tucked-away spot a short walk from the main Covent Garden piazza. Covent Garden Underground on the Piccadilly line is the closest station, listed at about 30 seconds away, with Leicester Square and Holborn also within easy walking distance. Because it sits inside the wider inamo restaurant, head in and ask for the Onyx Room or your private event on arrival.
