Karaoke is one of the few nights out in Singapore that still costs less than a cinema ticket — if you pick the right pricing model. That is the part most people get wrong.

Two pricing models, and they suit opposite groups

  • Per room, per hour — Teo Heng, Party World KTV, K.STAR. You pay one rate for the room no matter how many people are inside (up to capacity), so the bigger your group, the cheaper it gets per head. Teo Heng's $14/hour promo large room split ten ways is about $1.40 each an hour.
  • Per head, in blocks — Jewel Music Box, Cash Studio, Candy K-Bar and many HaveFun packages. Each person pays for a fixed 2- or 3-hour block, and drinks are usually included. Better value when there are only two or three of you, because you are not paying for empty seats.

The cheapest way in, right now

  • Cheapest per hour: Teo Heng promo rooms — $8/hour for a small room during happy hours (12pm–7pm), till 31 July 2026.
  • Best all-in package: Jewel Music Box3 hours from $12+ a person with free-flow drinks and snacks.
  • Best for two or three people: Cash Studio — off-peak 2-hour packages from about $8.80++ a head.
  • Best members' discount: HaveFun10% off for HomeTeamNS members, Sundays to Thursdays, till 30 November 2026.

Watch these three things on the bill

  1. The '++'. On per-head menus, ++ means service charge and GST are added on top — a $12.90++ package lands closer to $15.
  2. Peak vs happy hours. Almost every venue splits the day at around 6–7pm, and peak rates can run 40–50% higher. Weekends and public holidays are charged at peak too.
  3. Minimums and corkage. Jewel Music Box needs at least 3 people per room; some venues charge corkage on outside food. Teo Heng is the notable exception — its own site says you may bring outside food and drinks, just no alcohol.

Quick picks by occasion

  • Family afternoon with kids: Teo Heng (alcohol-free, BYO food, family malls) or Jewel Music Box (clubhouse outlets, snacks included, darts and board games).
  • Birthday you'll photograph: K.STAR themed rooms, or Candy K-Bar's Princess and Darts rooms.
  • After work in town: HaveFun (Cineleisure, Bugis+, Suntec) or Cash Studio (Clarke Quay Central).
  • Late night, driving in: Party World KTV at Waterfront Plaza, open till 3am.
