The Venue

Los Angeles

Karaoke Bar

$$$$

Down a private stairwell off of Wilshire Blvd lies The Venue, a subterranean karaoke bar and restaurant that's decidedly more high-end than run-of-the-mill karaoke spots. An open dining room complete with bar is the focal point of the space, where Korean-inspired dishes like beef tongue and chimichurri are served to diners on their way to or from one of the private karaoke rooms. Each room has up to a 50-person capacity (hello, birthday party!) and serves a smaller bar food menu for those who bypass the restaurant altogether.
