Everything you need to know about planning your visit, booking rooms, rules, and amenities.
A: Strictly 21 years old and older. All guests must provide valid, unexpired government-issued photo ID or passport upon entry. No exceptions!

A: It varies widely, however the average small or medium party stays about 3 hours and the average large party stays about 4 hours. When in doubt, always reserve your party for longer. You only pay for the amount of time you actually stay.
A: Only on Friday and Saturdays because it is our busiest times. Small and medium rooms require at least 2 hours and large rooms require at least 3. Every group also needs to meet a bar minimum as well. Everyone needs to spend at least $15 dollars at the bar whether it be food or beverage.
A: Reservations can be made anytime as long as there is availability, though we recommended booking as early as possible (at least 2 weeks in advance), rooms tend to fill up quickly especially on Fridays and Saturdays.
A: To reserve a room, please have the following ready:
1) Date of your party
2) Number of people in your party
3) Start time
4) End time
5) Name
6) Telephone number
7) Credit card number and expiration date
A: We ask for your credit card to prevent late cancellations and no-shows. We ask that you make any cancellations at least 2 days prior to your party, otherwise Lincoln Karaoke reserves the right to charge you for the entirety of the reservation.
A: No, we do not charge a deposit.
A: Just go to the bar and check in with the name you used to reserve your room. We will ask to hold a physical credit card for the duration of your party.
A: We hold one card per party to cover any discrepancies at the end of the evening, such as missing or damaged equipment. We also reserve the right to use this card to pay your bill if you forget to pay before you leave.
A: You check out at the bar at the end of your party. You can pay cash or credit. The room charge cannot be split amongst multiple cards.
A: Your party lasts as long as you actually stay in the room. You are responsible for keeping track of your own time. Lincoln Karaoke will ask you to leave only if there is another party reserved after yours. Because rooms can have multiple reservations, please be on time. You will be responsible for your reserved time. We reserve the right to charge you from the reserved start time.
A: We’ll do everything we can to make sure you can stay as long as you like. In the event that a later party is booked in your room, we may have to ask your party to leave on-time. That’s why it’s best to let us know you’d like to extend as early as possible. There is no guarantee!
A: Yes, we have two full bars with a variety of liquor, cocktails, wines, soju, bottled and draft craft and domestic beers.
A: There is no outside alcohol, beverages or food allowed. No exceptions! If you have anything, you can check it in with us and pick it up once the party ends.
A: This is the only exception that is made! Birthday and celebration cakes are welcome.
A: It’s up to you. Most parties have everyone take care of their own drinks at the bar. If you want to pay for some or all of your guests’ orders, just ask us; we have plenty of open tab options.
A: Lincoln Karaoke has a limited number of parking spaces in the alley behind our building, about 9 spots on the blacktop. We also have free, unmetered parking on our block of Lincoln Avenue.
