BURO Tries: Karaoke at A Quiet Place in Bukit Bintang

When it comes to Malaysians and their favourite past times, there are a few that inevitably crop up: cafe-hopping, durian eating, and of course, karaoke. The country’s love for karaoke is undeniable. Whether it’s a late work night or a chill weekend, a suggestion to head to the nearest karaoke bar is never far off (we all have that one friend). The next thing you know,  you’re screaming at the top of your lungs to your favourite early 2000s pop-rock song or crying with your friends to an emotional tune—but you wouldn’t have it any other way.

Now, the latest place to do all that and more is A Quiet Place located in Bukit Bintang. Launched in February 2023, the space offers a premium karaoke experience with three concepts under one roof; Loud Speaker 2.0, Mini Studio, and GeTai.

The flagship store spans 17,000 square feet and comes with multiple snack bars, aesthetic spots for photo-taking and a decked-out cocktail bar for tipples with your tunes. Together with its spacious rooms, state-of-the-art sound system and futuristic lighting, A Quiet Place is the perfect hang-out spot for all music lovers and shower singers.

If you’re buzzing to see what the fun is all about, watch the video above for Team BURO Malaysia’s (unhinged) experience in which we play a fun karaoke challenge and test its equipment—and our ears—to the limits. After you’re done, read on for what each type of karaoke-goer can expect from A Quiet Place’s three unique concepts.

 

The solo singer 

As much as karaoke is a social activity, it’s also great for those who want some alone time with their music. If you prefer to belt out solo or always feel self-conscious to sing in front of others, the Mini Studio is the perfect space for you. Designed to offer a real studio-like atmosphere, you can live out your dream of being an A-list recording artist in its sleek and modern interiors. 

With the Mini Studio’s contactless check-in kiosks, the process is seamless and fuss-free: just walk in, book, pay and sing! Plus, there’s a Record and Share function which allows you to record yourself and save it for upcoming demos or even upload to social media. If you only have a few select friends you don’t mind singing in front of, that’s okay too, as the Mini Studio offers bigger rooms which can fit up to eight people. 

 

The life of the party

If you’re constantly at the centre of attention at every karaoke party, make your way to Loud Speaker 2.0 where bigger and grander sing-outs await! All rooms are equipped with music-enhanced lighting effects and large high-definition screens. Groups of various sizes are spoilt for choice as the private and spacious rooms range from 100 square feet to 800 square feet. These can fit up to 50 people and features five different room types, including eight VIP rooms which come with a foosball table and en suite bathroom. There’s also a free flow of drinks and small bites at the snack bar outside. If you’re looking for your next big karaoke party, Loud Speaker 2.0 has everything you need to take it to the next level.

 

The rockstar

This goes out to all the karaoke lovers who can’t be contained to a room. Let your musical inhibitions run free at GeTai, an open-mic karaoke bar which is made for the best live performances. With its oriental-inspired interiors and polished black countertops, GeTai gives you the perfect red-carpet stage to let your inner rockstar out and serenade a crowd of up to 100 people. Further, audiences can reward your singing using A Quiet Place’s app with virtual gifts, which can be converted into points to claim prizes such as MacBooks, iPhones and more! Alternatively, sit back and enjoy other live performances while sipping on cocktails from the bar.
