Lucky Voice Islington is a private-room karaoke bar on Upper Street, a two-minute walk from Angel tube. You get your own soundproofed room rather than singing in front of strangers, which makes it good for groups, birthdays and anyone who wants to belt out a tune without an audience. There are nine rooms in total, holding anywhere from 2 to 20 people, so it suits a couple on a date night or a full work do.

The single most useful thing to know: it gets busy and books up, so reserve ahead rather than chancing a walk-in. Rooms start from £6 per person per hour off-peak, with a two-hour minimum, and you order cocktails and food straight to your room using the tablet system.

The karaoke setup

You sing in your own private room, not a shared stage, so it is just you and your group. The nine rooms scale from intimate two-person booths up to one room that holds 20, which is the largest in the Lucky Voice London network. Each room runs a tablet-based song system you control yourselves, so you queue tracks, skip and search without waiting on a host. There is a wide song catalogue covering pop, classics and the obvious crowd-pleasers, and a thirsty button to summon drinks and food without leaving mid-song.

Good to know

Pricing is per person per hour: from £6 to £8 off-peak and £9 to £14 at peak times, with a minimum two-hour booking. The venue is closed Monday and Tuesday, opens from 5pm midweek, and runs later on Friday and Saturday until 2am. Book ahead through the website, by phone on 020 7354 6280, or by email, as it is regularly very busy. Happy hour deals run on weekday evenings until 8pm and Sunday from 6pm to 8pm.

Food and drink

You do not have to step out of your room to keep things topped up. The thirsty button on the in-room tablet sends an order straight to staff, covering cocktails, pizza and sharing plates. That keeps a session flowing when you have a room full of people who do not want to lose their turn at the mic. Weekday and early-Sunday happy hour offers make the drinks side easier on a group budget if you time your booking right.
