I came to Planet Rose by myself a couple of weekends ago. The ambience is nice and dark, funky, laid-back, and the drinks weren't badly priced for NYC standards. The bartender was an adorable petite girl with black hair (beautiful) and this had the makings of a wonderful evening.
Then I handed the KJ my song slip and you know what he said? "That's two dollars.". LOL!!! I swear to god, I thought this was a scene from Better off Dead. TWO DOLLARS!!
So let me get this straight: you charge 4+ dollars for a bottle of domestic beer, much more for shots, and yet the owner can not afford to pay the KJ so you have to charge two dollars per song? And you have to wait an eternity to sing? Even Second on Second, a true venue for karaoke, charges "only" $1.00 per song. I'll never go to either again.
I didn't say anything. I just said I'd get it out of my jacket, paid my tab, said goodbye to the adorable bartender, and left.
TWO DOLLARS.. absolutely hysterical.
Pros: gorgeous black haired bartender
Cons: two dollars per song to sing -- LOLLLLLL
