Night Kitty Karaoke Bar, opening at 545 S. Broadway near the University of Kentucky campus, will host themed music nights on its main stage, along with seven private karaoke rooms.
Night Kitty Karaoke Bar is set to open April 1 at 545 S. Broadway, near the University of Kentucky campus. Modeled after similar establishments popular in Asia, brave singers can belt out their favorite go-to karaoke tunes on a main stage or opt for a more intimate performance among friends in one of seven private karaoke rooms, each uniquely decorated.
Night Kitty Karaoke Bar’s hours are from 6 p.m. to 2:30 a.m. nightly, with ages 21 and over only after 10 p.m.
“We grew up going to private room karaoke with family and friends in Asia,” said owner Cai Dong. “When we got a chance, we knew we wanted to bring this to Lexington.
“Anyone who loves singing will love our concert-level setup,” he said of the main stage.
Night Kitty will feature themed genres of music on different days, he said, and will also offer bar snacks and a full bar, with specialty cocktails made with local and international ingredients.
