The Cherry E3 is a friendly Bow pub on Mile End Road with one private karaoke room out the back, run on the Lucky Voice system. It suits small groups who want to sing without paying West End prices, with the room taking 5 to 13 people and booked by the hour. The big draw is how cheap it is midweek: £5 per person per hour Sunday to Thursday, rising to £10 on Friday and Saturday when the bar gets busier.

Beyond the singing it works as a proper local. You get cocktails, beers and wine, sourdough pizza every day, plus quiz nights, drag bingo and Saturday DJs. Book the room ahead by email, line up a table of friends, and you have a low-key night out a short walk from Mile End station.

The karaoke setup

There is one private karaoke room here rather than a wall of booths, and it runs on the Lucky Voice system so you scroll a big songbook from a tablet and sing to your own group. It holds between 5 and 13 people, which makes it best for a birthday, a work do or a tight group of friends rather than a couple. You book it by the hour and can take it for up to three hours at a stretch. Drinks come from the main bar, so you are never far from a refill while you wait your turn.

Good to know

Pricing is per person, per hour: £5 Sunday to Thursday and £10 Friday and Saturday, so a midweek slot is the cheap way in. The room needs booking ahead rather than a walk-in, by email at cherry@frontierpubs.co.uk or by phone. While you are there the kitchen does sourdough pizza daily, and the pub runs a Tuesday quiz, drag bingo nights, Thursday two-for-one cocktails and Saturday DJs. Opening hours run to 23:00 most nights and midnight on Friday and Saturday.

Getting there
