Star by Liverpool Street

Star by Liverpool Street stacks a multi-level entertainment pub on top of an underground karaoke venue — seven themed rooms, two function spaces, four bars, and Funktion One sound systems across the building, all steps from Liverpool Street Station in the City.

The venue makes more sense as an event hire once you understand the scale. This isn't a pub with a karaoke machine in the corner. The basement — Karaoke Heaven — is a purpose-built entertainment level with seven individually designed rooms seating 8 to 50 people, each with machines carrying over 20,000 songs. Above that, dedicated function spaces, a ground-floor restaurant, and a 250-capacity top floor with private entrance create a venue that can run intimate karaoke sessions and 500-person takeovers from the same building.

Entertainment That Runs Itself

For corporate Christmas parties, team socials, and birthday celebrations, karaoke solves the energy problem. Rather than hoping conversation sustains a room or hiring entertainment that some guests engage with and others ignore, the themed rooms give groups a purpose from the moment they arrive. The scored sessions add competition, the themed decor adds photo opportunities, and the fact that multiple rooms run simultaneously means large groups can rotate through without bottlenecks.

The Funktion One sound systems throughout the function spaces signal that this is a venue that takes audio seriously — the Glam Palace and Backstage Room deliver genuine club-quality sound for DJ sets, while the Firestarter restaurant space adds a projector for corporate presentations alongside its Funktion One setup.

City Location, Party Atmosphere

Chuck Burger Bar provides the food programme — coal-roasted burgers, sliders, and small plates that match the venue's social energy better than formal catering would. Drinks packages can be tailored and delivered directly to karaoke rooms, which keeps the evening flowing without queue-at-the-bar interruptions.

Three minutes from Liverpool Street Station, the venue catches City workers heading home and Shoreditch crowds heading out — a location that works for both corporate bookings finishing the working week and private celebrations running into the early hours with the 1am licence.
