Pre-game + Karaoke Night Social Mixer
Pre-game + Karaoke Night Social Mixer
Get ready to warm up those vocal cords and bring your best party energy! We're throwing a pre-game party that kicks off with karaoke – because what better way to break the ice than belting out your favorite songs with a bunch of people who are just as ready to have fun as you are? Whether you're a shower singer finally ready for your debut or someone who just loves a good singalong, this is your chance to grab that mic. We're talking everything from power ballads to guilty pleasure pop hits, throwback classics to current chart-toppers. No judgment, just good vibes and probably some hilariously entertaining performances. This is the perfect way to start your evening – loosen up, make some new friends, and create those "remember when you sang that song" moments. The energy will be high, the playlist will be epic, and who knows? You might discover your new go-to karaoke crew. Entry is 50, and trust us, it's worth every bit for the entertainment value alone. Come ready to laugh, sing (or cheer loudly for others), and kick off a night you won't forget. See you there with a drink in hand and a song in your heart!
