Finding CEO Karaoke is half the initiation. It's in the basement of an old building, down an elevator that gives no hint of what's below: eight private rooms and a lounge, each with its own mural and booth seating, running since 2016.

The setup splits the difference between old-school KTV and modern convenience, with a house system stocked across several languages and YouTube casting for everything it doesn't cover, which in practice means the catalogue has no bottom. VIP rooms stretch to thirty-odd people, and the place has made a specialty of group events: birthdays, bachelorettes, corporate nights out.

It's strictly 18+, no outside alcohol, though they'll wave in snacks and a birthday cake. The room is yours, the door closes, and what happens to "Total Eclipse of the Heart" in there stays in there.
