Simmons Bar Liverpool Street is a retro cocktail bar spread over two floors just off Bishopsgate, and it runs a private karaoke room you can book for groups. It suits work socials, birthdays and after-parties more than a quiet pint, with neon lighting and a loud, late feel. The most useful thing to know: this is not drop-in karaoke. The room is a hire space for up to 50 people, booked ahead through the venue, with a minimum spend rather than a per-person ticket.

The main bar leans into the Simmons style, kitsch decor, strong happy hour and DJs at the weekend. If you just want a drink you can walk in, but the singing happens behind a booking. Come with a group and a plan rather than expecting to grab a mic on the night.

The karaoke setup

Karaoke here is a private room rather than scattered booths or a public stage. You get a dedicated space for up to 50 standing guests, kitted out with the Simmons neon look and a sound system you control. It is pitched at groups taking over the room together, so the whole party sings rather than queueing behind strangers. The room sits within the wider Liverpool Street venue, so you have the bar and DJ nights close by. Because it is a hire space, you need to enquire and book in advance, and the room is yours for the booked window.

Good to know

Booking is required for the karaoke room, with a minimum spend from £250 for a two hour session rather than a fixed ticket price, so it works best split across a decent sized group. The bar itself is open from 16:00 most days, 15:00 on Saturdays, closing at 23:00. Happy hour runs 16:00 to 21:00 Monday to Friday and all day Sunday, handy if you are drinking before or instead of singing. Expect a busy, late, City crowd, especially end of week.
