Happy Karaoke - Doraville

We had an amazing time! The song selection was fantastic, and the soy was delicious. The host speaks softly but takes excellent care of his equipment.

The owner was incredibly rude and unfriendly. I found myself waiting at the counter for assistance, and the owner brusquely told me to sit down as if I were a child. When I questioned his behavior, he defensively made excuses and even attacked my perspective. I honestly don't understand how this place has such a high rating. The restaurant is dirty and has an unpleasant smell. It doesn't help that payment is required in advance. The parking situation is also a nightmare. It's clear that the owner doesn’t value your business. Save yourself the trouble and avoid this place.

Happy Karaoke, despite its name, offers Korean karaoke. The seasoned soju is excellent, and the song selection is quite extensive. It's a cozy little spot located right at a gas station, which somehow made me feel comfortable even at 3:00 AM. And I have to say, the soju was REALLY good!

I'm very upset about my experience tonight. Apparently they don't have a purse rule that's okay. It was new, but good. I had a water bottle so I left it in front. We went back to the room and she said she had to search our bags. The new rule is because people have brought food or drink outside. She was looking for my friends bag then mine. She was aggressive while I was looking for her, I warned her I had a gun in there. She didn't allow me any weapons. There was no signing at all. I showed her my hidden carrying license, which means that I can have it on my person, regardless of a bag and she still said no. I told her it was for my protection that there was signage or security for the future. So I went out to get it into my car. I'm coming back. She followed me in the room. She wanted to see my bag. She's starting to throw me down. I stopped them because I was injured and disregarded at this point. She said sadly that I'm just sure that could be dangerous. She ran out of the room and then did not interact with my group. I would have gone right away, but I didn't want to ruin my friends night, but I'll never return.

This place smells. Literally. Dirty rooms with bugs in it. Makes you throw out water so you can buy theirs. Very odd owner, made me rather uncomfortable. We were abruptly interrupted and moved another smaller room in the middle of our time. I knew it was a red flag to pay before our stay, no karaoke place does that.
