U9 Karaoke Bar

In the heart of the West End, U9 packs in nine space-age karaoke rooms and a showstopping cocktail bar into its cosmic playground. With rooms channelling the dwarf planet Pluto through to the gas giant Jupiter, there's somewhere for an intimate serenade or an epic performance for all your pals.

As you leaf through the epic 450,000-strong song library, there's all kinds of precision engineered cocktails to relax the vocal chords. Post-show refreshments are waiting in the form of Japanese small plates, skewers and sharing platters.
