I really struggled to think of a place that would be fun, festive, unique but a guaranteed good time for a birthday celebration. Given that the invite list was composed mostly of people in their late 20s, Lansdowne and the Ally wouldn't be the right scene. Last year we did Kings, but the upscale bowling thing is feeling pretty old by now. After googling like crazy I came across this place, which turned out to be perfect for us. Since I was lucky, I thought by posting this, I could make someone else's life a little easier as party planning is definitely very stressful. I'd recommend doing a private room (""studio"") over the club, because it's really crowded in the stage area and can take awhile to get your song request up.
Pros: huge song library, friendly staff, theater district
Cons: not a full bar, parking is tough
