Overview
If you're planning on staying indoors for the majority of winter, you might as well do it somewhere fun. Ideally, with plenty of good eats and drinks within reach. Luckily, Ichi Ni Nana's newly installed karaoke den will tick all those boxes.
The Sing Song Room has made its home down in the 127 Brunswick Street venue's basement level, where you'll be able to belt out classic tunes at the top of your lungs, in a cosy cocoon of privacy. Available to book for groups of over five, it's got all the trimmings for a serious sing-along session: red curtains to help unleash your inner performer, a nice strong stage to withstand any enthusiastic foot stomping, and a broad-ranging songbook filled with all the best belters. Two hours will cost you $200 for five people, and $30 for every extra person.
In fact, the entire basement is primed for partying, with room for up to 60 people and a snack offering to — think colourful sashimi platters, yakitori skewers and plenty of pan-fried gyoza. Pre-booked food packages run from canapés through to sit-down banquets, either from the Ichi Ni Nana kitchen, or courtesy of upstairs neighbour Village People.
Prices vary through the week, starting at $40 per person minimum spend for a two-hour session, including free reign of the whole den and that all-important karaoke mic.
Find the Sing Song Den at lower ground level, 127 Brunswick Street, Fitzroy. It's open from 12–10pm Sunday to Thursday and midday to midnight Friday and Saturday.
