If you're looking to spend a night belting out some hits, shimmy on over to Kono Karaoke, Melbourne's first coin-booth-operated karaoke joint. Located on Little Lonsdale Street, this unsuspecting two-level location is filled with several disco-lit booths that each come stocked with two microphones and a range of songs to choose from.
Each song will cost you $2, but of course there are packages available if you decide you want (or need) to sing more. There are props you can use, and if you don't want to stay contained in a booth take over the 'stage' area with other happy musos. With enough space for a small group, songs in a variety of languages and a $2-drink vending machine, you're set to have a ripper night out on a budget.
