Karaoke at Aloha Tokyo?

Aloha Toyko, the Japanese restaurant/bar at 1120 E. Fort Ave., advertises its karaoke with big signs outside.

But is it really any good there?

I see this place as more of a restaurant than a karaoke spot.

Have any of you been there and sang karaoke?

We tried to go one night, but it was already closed- at like quarter to 11. You can't be a true karaoke bar and close early- you gotta give your customers enough time to build up liquid courage!!!

I heard a rumor there is an aloha tokyo in mt. vernon now too. can someone confirm this?

I live right down the street and me and the BF have stopped in numerous times late night. There is usually someone singing. I personally only go to drink the sake- so I've never sang. I have learned that more sake=more entertaining to hear.

Sam,

Aren't you supposed to discover and experience these things first then tell us about it before soliciting your readers' experience?

Yes, I have it's fun. It's more low key than getting up an singing in front of an audience. You can sing from where ever you are sitting be it at the bar or in a booth. Karaoke was fun, but the fact that they don't serve sushi is kind of a bummer.

You heard right. They just opened up in the old Cobbers space on Charles.

i just went on a monday night and had a ton of fun! They apparently don't serve sushi during the summer, but the cozy atmosphere and bartender/waitress made it all worth it. i'll definitely be going back.

About the blogger
I've been The Baltimore Sun's nightlife and local entertainment reporter for a couple years, and it's surprising how much the scene has grown in that time. Most of Baltimore's bars and clubs are unpretentious places with fairly cheap drinks and plenty of character. I like dancing and think this city needs more clubs, but nothing beats having a cold, locally brewed beer with friends in a comfortably full corner bar.
