Simmons Bar King's Cross is a late-night cocktail bar on Caledonian Road, a couple of minutes from the station, with a private karaoke room downstairs that you book for your own group. This is the spot if you want to sing without strangers in the room. The karaoke space takes groups of up to 50 and comes with its own bar and bartender, so it suits birthdays, work nights out and big mates' sessions rather than a quick solo turn at the mic.

It runs on minimum spend rather than a flat ticket, starting from £250 for two hours, and you book ahead through the venue's enquiry form. Upstairs the main bar does cocktails, happy hour and DJs, and it stays open late, to 3am on Friday and Saturday.

The karaoke setup

Karaoke here is a private affair. There is a dedicated room downstairs with a karaoke system, kitted out with its own bar and a bartender for your group, so you are not queuing for drinks or waiting your turn behind a public crowd. It holds up to 50 people, which puts it firmly in the territory of group bookings: birthdays, leaving dos and bigger celebrations. If you want a small, casual sing or a walk-in slot you will not find that here, the room is hired out to one party at a time.

Good to know

Booking is required. You enquire through the form on the Simmons website and pick the karaoke room option. Pricing works on a minimum spend rather than a per-head ticket, starting from £250 for two hours, which you put behind the bar on drinks. The venue opens at 4pm daily and runs late, midnight Sunday to Wednesday, 2am on Thursday, and 3am on Friday and Saturday, so evening sessions are the norm. As a bar it is over-18s, and the upstairs has cocktails, happy hour and DJs if you arrive early or stay on after.
