The Beat Karaoke: Nothing Out of the Ordinary

A long-delayed blogpost about my encounter with the Beat Karaoke Bar at Burgos Circle, Bonifacio Global City. Bow.

This was supposed to be an upbeat write-up, but as the hype of that night died down, I realized that there was really nothing special that the place has to offer.

Yes, they have an awesome interior that most yupees would adore, but they do not have any other room variations that could cater more people of different tastes and ages. The venue’s a bit secluded, too, which can be a plus point to others who want to enjoy their videoke experience in some sense of privacy; however, it’s not the most ideal setup for a business which ought to encourage more visitors.

Rates are also not the most pop in the metro—with each room worth about 700 pesos per hour and barkada packages that can go around 5,000 pesos for 12 people. Affordable enough for a night-out in BGC, but the minimal food serving seems to reduce the value for money.

Their Pinoy-na-Pinoy menu is good though; especially that they offer the same dishes to their foreign customers. The Beat also has a wide array of songs that songsters can choose from, and they seem to make it a point to keep their collection updated the latest hits.

On the surface, the Beat Karaoke’s really nothing out of the ordinary. But with superb company like the ones I had when I hit this place last month, the Beat can be a pretty enjoyable hang-out hide-out.
