Simmons Bar Monument is a late-night cocktail bar on Eastcheap with karaoke run as private hire rather than walk-in booths. It suits groups who want their own room and a DJ-booth, neon-lit club space to themselves, not solo singers dropping in for one song. The most useful thing to know: you book the karaoke room in advance and there is a minimum spend, so it works best for a birthday, work do or big night out.

It is a two-floor City bar with a happy hour from 4pm, open late into the early hours every night. The karaoke sits inside the club room, which holds up to 150 people, so think party rather than quiet sing-along. Sort the booking ahead of time and you get the space, the sound system and the drinks all in one go.

The karaoke setup

Karaoke here is part of the club room rather than a wall of separate pods. The room comes with a karaoke system and a DJ booth, and it can hold up to 150 people, so it is built for a crowd rather than a couple of mates. You take over the space as a private party, queue up your songs and run the night yourselves. There is no drop-in karaoke booth you can grab for half an hour, so this is the route to go if you want a proper group session with your own room and sound.

Good to know

You book the karaoke room through the Simmons booking form and pick the Karaoke Room option. Pricing works on a minimum spend, starting from £250 for a two-hour session, which covers drinks across your group rather than a flat per-person fee. Happy hour runs from 4pm with two-for-one cocktails, so an early start stretches the budget. The bar opens at 4pm daily and runs to 2am Sunday to Wednesday and 3am Thursday to Saturday, giving you a long window for a late one.

Getting there

The bar is at 35 Eastcheap, EC3M 1DE, in the City. Monument station is the closest, about a two minute walk, with Bank also within easy reach for the Central, Northern and DLR lines. Being in the City, it is quieter on weekends than midweek, when the after-work crowd fills it out. If you are planning a group karaoke night, an earlier weekday booking can be easier to secure and lands you inside the happy hour window.
