MBox Karaoke

We really enjoyed our evening tonight at MBOX! You'll read reviews where they slate it and say it's disgusting and seedy and I'm not invalidating that, but it's definitely better than we expected. I walked in expecting it to be disgusting and greasy and seedy and it really wasn't any of that, I felt comfortable and knew the staff would be happy to help if I had any issues. The song selection is great - compared to what others are saying. Very few songs they don't have. Only confusing thing is you have to search for the artist by initials or acronyms rather than spelling- so for Justin Bieber it would be JB. It's brilliant value for money on a weekend- £12 for an hour and 2 single drinks or one double is excellent. Very happy with our evening.Also, they do take card

I suggested for my friend’s birthday we should do a karaoke booth instead of going to our usual karaoke bar Woody’s (amazing 8/10 times we go) but wanted a more private venue where it’s just us singing. Decided to try this out without reading reviews but it is an experience I’ll never do again. We were promised two drinks with an hour of karaoke. It wasn’t busy at all and there was only like 2 other rooms with people in for context. As soon as we went in we paid the man (who from reading other reviews seems like the owner) and at first he was fine. He then said we were only allowed one drink if we had a bottled cider (not in the advertising and you can literally buy the same cider for just under 2 pounds at a corner shop but ok). He then shouted at my friends to decide quicker because the fridge door was open. I doubt an extra 10 seconds would affect the drinks. He also was extremely rude to the young female staff member which seems like a theme. One of our mics stopped working mid way through so had to go down and get a new one. Apparently he was shouting at her whilst she refilled the drinks downstairs. About 50 minutes had passed and he comes in and stops the music and resets the machine, we paid for a full hour and we had it shorter due to them setting it up and showing us how to work the machine (wasn’t in English and just overall hard to navigate), getting a new mic and him coming in early. I wouldn’t have minded if it was like 58 minutes but me and my friend were 40 seconds away from finishing our song and he didn’t let us finish. When we have 10 minutes of the allotted time left he shouldn’t be doing this. Even if our time had finished you should at least have the decency to let people finish their song. As previously mentioned there wasn’t many people using the rooms so it wasn’t like he needed us to leave. As I left I said thanks to the female staff member and she seemed scared to even respond.In short, just avoid this place. I’d rather go to a crowded karaoke bar because there’s loads in Liverpool.

Don’t not even consider this if you are wanting for a fun time. Let alone that all the machines were any good (which they are not) as they are all old and don’t have any actually Karaoke that was with it.But….. to the main point, the owner is a horrible human, he treats his staff like he’s just trafficked them. Her was so rude and can see his employees visually upset and scared of him it was like a scene in Hostel)Please stay away from this place untilUnder new ownership and please never let me see that horrible man againWill never come back…

Awful initial experience. Booked in advance and then when we turned up we’re told that they were now full (basically they overbooked and didn’t tell us).Turned away and had to wait until midnight to return. Unfortunately, not somewhere you can rely on to book…Review updated: We went back later and staff apologised again for the mix up. Provided a free drink.Pros - Drinks were well priced, as was the Karaoke, the rooms were comfortable and had plenty of space, service was fine once we were in.Cons - Limited song choice, little outdated and the interface is a little clunky.

He is turkish...okay. I get it now. 1 star for your people(turkish or arabic...whatever)

me and friends came here last night for a birthday party, two girls work in the bar were really polite and helpful to show you how to work on the machine. We spent 12 per head and each of us got 2 drinks each, great deal,great time!

I absolutely do not recommend visiting M Box. Myself and 8 friends decided to visit last night for some spontaneous karaoke, we rang ahead and were told for £12 we could have a room for an hour and two free drinks, so far so good.As soon as we walked in, we approached the bar. The bartender, a young lady, was snacking on sushi behind us. She stood up, walked round to the bar, took our money and began serving us drinks. The owner/manager, a middle/aged Asian chap then arrived and immediately began talking to the poor waitress like dirt, apparently furious with her for booking us in without checking if a room was available first and consulting him - the manager made us all feel so incredibly uncomfortable with the way he spoke to his staff. He quickly realised everything was fine and we could easily be accommodated.We were told to go to room 7 to begin our karaoke session. As we walked to the room, we soon realised the whole building was incredibly shabby, smelly, poorly maintained and just needed refurbishing and cleaning properly.The toilets were disgusting, with urine splashed all over the floor, and a single cubicle with a broken lock.The private room and karaoke system was incredibly disappointing, I can only describe the private room as where I’d imagine you might receive a private lap dance, grubby room, with a leather bench at the back, and a TV wall mounted for karaoke.The karaoke system itself was incredibly complicated to use, not to mention largely supported in Chinese language and didn’t include many songs you would typically expect.All in all, I have to say the whole experience was incredibly disappointing and had I not been joined by a cluster of close friends, I would’ve insisted upon a refund.

Had a booking for karaoke room. Upon arrival the owner demanded payment immediately and made us feel very uncomfortable. He was very rude to us and his staff. He argued with us when trying to spend our drinks vouchers and also requested payment direct to his bank account rather than using a usual card machine. His actions were intimidating and made for an awkward atmosphere

I’ve been coming here for about five years and it’s always the most fun. The staff remember you and the drinks are very reasonably priced. My only quibble would be the song list isn’t always 100% up to date but the song list is so thorough you will still be able to fill at least one hour if not two with bangers. We love it here!
