The Cocktail Club (Shoreditch): Karaoke in London
The Cocktail Club Shoreditch is a late-opening cocktail bar on Sclater Street with a private karaoke room tucked away for groups. It suits a birthday, a hen do, or any crowd of ten or more who want to sing without a roomful of strangers watching. The single most useful thing to know: you book the room rather than turn up, and it comes with your own bartender mixing drinks while you queue up songs.
The room, called Backstage, holds up to 45 people and is kitted out with a screen, sound system and a deep song catalogue. You pick two or three hours of singing time. It is paid and bookable, so plan ahead rather than chancing a walk-in for the karaoke side. The bar itself is open late from Tuesday to Sunday if you just fancy cocktails.
The karaoke setup
Karaoke here lives in a private room called Backstage, so you are singing for your own group rather than a public bar. It fits up to 45 guests, with around 25 seated and 40 standing, and comes with a screen, a proper sound system and a big song catalogue to pick from. You choose either two or three hours of singing time when you book. The standout touch is a dedicated bartender stationed with you for the session, mixing whatever cocktails you fancy without anyone having to leave for the main bar.
Good to know
The karaoke room is bookable only and needs a minimum of 10 guests. Prices start at £10 per person per hour. For £15 per person you get an upgraded package with a welcome glass of Prosecco and one menu cocktail each. Sessions run in two or three hour blocks, so it works best for a planned night rather than a spur-of-the-moment drop-in. The bar opens late, until 00:30 midweek and 01:30 on Friday and Saturday, and there is a happy hour earlier in the evening.
Getting there
You will find it at 29 Sclater Street, just off Brick Lane in Shoreditch, postcode E1 6HT. It sits in easy reach of Shoreditch High Street and Liverpool Street stations, so it is a short walk whichever line you arrive on. The whole area is dense with bars and food, which makes it an easy first or last stop on a bigger night out. Note the bar is closed on Mondays, with the rest of the week opening from late afternoon or early evening through to the small hours.
