Overview
Ding Dong Dang-ers, you've got a new karaoke spot to try obliterating your vocal chords at. Surry Hills' Japanese-style street bar Goros has just had a mini-revamp, counting two brand new karaoke rooms in the new features to be revealed on Monday, April 27.
Sitting just outside the lockout zone, Goros are truly capitalising on the best or worst of late night kick-on choices — screeching 'Let It Go' into a shitty mic and throwing back a few Bacardi Breezers amongst the lasers. But these aren't your regular, lovably tacky karaoke rooms (and you won't be drinking alcopops). Built for groups of up to ten punters, Goros' new rooms have your regular big screen TV and microphone set-up. But there's also a dress up box. A dress up box. Things are inevitably going to get loose during 'Love Shack'.
Goros' new karaoke rooms aren't the only new features of the reno; there's a new classic arcade games area — yep, they've got Tekken and Point Blank — and they've created six new booth spaces to snuggle into before pulverising your throat with 'You're the Voice' and the inevitable 'Bohemian Rhapsody'. Line that stomach with a Tokyo Chilli Dog from the new menu (the kitchen's open until 2am on Friday and Saturday nights and 12am on Thursdays), or try the new yakitori roulette wasabi challenge every Wednesday night.
To give you a little liquid courage, there's now sake shots on the revamped Japanese spirit and cocktail list — best perused through the bar's old-school Viewfinders. There's $15 'sake journeys' on offer, a flight which includes three different sakes to get you ready to do some damage on 'Hotel California'. Happy hour runs between 5.30pm and 7.30pm Monday-Friday, which is a little early for karaoke but you might be naturally lacking in inhibitions already. You go Glen Coco.
Find Goros at 84-86 Mary Street, Surry Hills. Reopen from Monday, April 27.
