General Policies
Is there a minimum age to visit LALA, and is it family-friendly?
There is no minimum age to visit us! We welcome guests of all ages and offer a family-friendly experience. Children may dine, enjoy the entertainment, and sing in a private karaoke room when they’re supervised by an adult. While families can visit at any time, the atmosphere becomes livelier at night, so you may prefer an earlier visit if you’re bringing kids along.
Are children allowed?
Yes, as long as they are supervised by an adult. Children under 18 cannot be in the rooms alone.
Is there a dress code?
There is no dress code at LALA.
Can I bring outside food or drinks?
No outside food or drinks are allowed, except for store-bought birthday cakes or cupcakes.
Can I bring a birthday cake?
Yes! Store-bought cakes or cupcakes are welcome as long as they are sealed and labeled with ingredients. Homemade desserts and ice cream cakes are not permitted.
Can I decorate the room?
Yes, as long as decorations don’t cause damage. Great options: centerpieces, balloons, or table runners. Not allowed: confetti, glitter, banners, tape, sticky tack, or push pins.
Reservations & Scheduling
How much does it cost to rent a private karaoke room at LALA?
The cost of a private karaoke room at LALA varies depending on the day, time, type of room, location, and any promotions available at the time! Smaller rooms and earlier time slots are usually the most affordable options. Each booking covers a two-hour session rather than charging per person, so it’s easy to split the cost between the members in your party. Check our online booking system for current prices, room capacities, available times, and weekday promotions.
Do I need a reservation, or can I just walk in for karaoke?
While walk-ins are available on a regular basis, it’s a good idea to make a reservation so you’re guaranteed the room you want. A reservation allows us to hold a private room in advance for your preferred time and space. Some events, like our Open Mic Karaoke, do not require a reservation.
Can I start my karaoke reservation early?
No. We schedule 30 minutes between reservations to clean and sanitize each room.
Can I extend my reservation beyond 2 hours?
Yes, if the next time slot is available. Just ask on the day of your booking.
Can I book back-to-back reservations?
Of course—four hours of karaoke sounds amazing!
Can I book multiple rooms for a large party?
Absolutely.
Can I transfer a reservation between locations (St. Pete ↔ Tampa)?
No, reservations are not transferable between locations.
Can I reschedule my reservation?
Yes, up to 48 hours before your original date and time.
What is LALA’s cancellation and refund policy?
If you cancel a private karaoke room reservation at least 48 hours before its scheduled start time, we’ll give you a full refund minus a 3% booking fee. You can also reschedule at no charge if you do it 48 hours or more before the time slot you booked.
During Your Visit
Can I order food and drinks in the karaoke room?
Yes! A server will be assigned to your room with full access to our full menu.
Will my favorite song be available?
Our library has over 90,000 songs in multiple languages, with the largest selection in English, Spanish, and French.
Is there karaoke in the dining room?
Yes! Open Mic Karaoke:

- Friday and Saturday: 10:00pm–1:30am
- Sunday: 1:00pm–4:00pm
What’s the difference between a private karaoke room and Open Mic Karaoke at LALA?
A private karaoke room gives you an enclosed, themed space where you can perform and socialize with just your friends and family! It also comes with a food and drink service, so you don’t even need to leave the room until your slot is over. Open Mic Karaoke takes place in the dining area during scheduled times, where guests get to sing in front of the crowd.
