Visited Sopranos with a few friends. It was completely empty. Staff were comfortable on the couches when we walked in and then all promptly stood up and moved away. Some of the staff are friendly while others have a serious chip on their shoulder, particularly the guy handling the song requests. The food is not great but there is a fair choice on the menu and that includes beverages. prices are reasonable given today's exorbitant prices in most establishments. The quality of songs and mics sound quality are awful. Very outdated. The guy playing the songs seem to deliberately increase the sound to drown out the ability to sing. I was quite disappointed at the level of entertainment in Colombo in general but if it is singing you love - someone recommended the new place - LIV or Stella, quite are far better. One of my friends wore a pair of Birkenstock slippers, which one would know, are very expensive but most comfortable. They are NOT your ordinary rubber slippers, but he was refused entry. A little strange given that the place was completely empty and one would think they'd welcome the business. I was quite sad to see the staff standing idle. Not sure how places like these survive given the costs factors involved. There was one staff member - Senaka, He was very polite and friendly. I was rather surprised that they serve beer with ice cubes. It waters down the beer. I just assumed it is because the beer was NOT cool enough. Yet, NOT a good idea at all. To a great beer drinker it would be a complete NO NO All in all a very disappoint experience.

What a waste of money and time waiting for a song that never came. We went as a group from singapore and ordered 2 bottles, shots and wine. We also wanted to sing but the DJ acted like he owns the place and only kept playing music to his friends, who didn't even order drinks just sitting and asking for song after song. We went up to him and he just ignored us. My self and my colleagues asked so many times, he kept saying 3 more, 2 more and just didn't give us a song. If your the owner reading this reviews, please fire this DJ as he is rude, no people skills and we spent over 115,000 Lankan rupees and didn't get 1 song all night. We all are very upset and felt he was very unprofessional. This was our last night and right now at the airport writing this reviews. Your karioke DJ made our last nignt horrible, and kept a bad memory of your island with us. I can not recomed this place to anyone who appreciates good service and to sing a song. Don't go here. Unless the karioke DJ is a new one. Time for a change.

A karaoke spot by Maitland crescent next to CH, for all you folk who like to sing dance and have a good time! Usually a decent crowd is in attendance. If u get their early you can find a good seating spot as Friday nights tend to be crowded. The food was good considering the pricing. If you drink, u have the option of buying a bottle and banking it in the event it’s not finished. The song book is extensive so you are able to choose to your hearts content whichever era you are from. Would suggest to may be add a few Sinhala classics to switch things up. The service is average as they do not play the songs in sequence that we give them out and usually they miss out on the songs when the crowd is more. Also the staff could be more friendly. Especially the staff should be courteous to the customers who are intoxicated and not provoke incidents. A place we would like to revisit but much room for improvement on the service end.

  • Mahesh Yogarajan

I love the place and the fabulous times we have there! It is however a place you need to be careful during billing. A few people were buying bottles and rounds of shots and they were superb at serving these. A+ for service level. What did happen though was they brought out three bills at different points to the three of us buying shots. Drinking mediocre stuff like Absolut, it took a $500 spend to roughly $1,000 which would translate into each of us having consumed a full bottle of Absolut each plus about 6 rounds of shots each. This quantity for each and every one of the eight people there was unbelievable. Great place to go so just pay the bills all together and if you're still able to, check it. The alternative we were left with was accept it as the cost of having a fabulous night!

  • Minoli De Silva

place is okay.one of the few places you can get a decent selection of karaoke tracks. I liked the deco of the mafia bosses and musicians , most likely why it's called sopranos after the famed TV shoe. guys have an entrance fee of lkr 1000,but ladies you walk in free.that's a plus. service is very much average ,takes a while to for the service staff to get to you. the booze is over priced as all booze in sl. and the 25% of taxes and vat for the full bill. Karaokewise It had a couple of regulars I assume who hog the microphone, you might need to grease the palm of the dj coz most of our songs didn't get played after awhile.

  • Afonso Duarte

Place is passing comercial music from 20 years ago and badly mixed. Locals seem to enjoy it as there isn't much better anywhere and DJ don't have their own tracks I hears from macarena to Lady gaga to bob Sinclair very badly mixed a bit of a joke if you used to clubs or establishments in Europe or other developed countries

Can have different experince with karaoke as it is a karaoke bar , If your main priority is that place would be good. Can get crowded around midnight not much before , they keep open after.midnight as well. Food is average nothing much about it , you can have cocktails nothing much special there either Service is good

  • Jason “Iexploremyworld” T

The music was pretty good the problem is DJs will not take any request it's almost like they playing their set and what they like and u stay there and like it or sucks to be. And the bartender need to look at customers in order not based on who they know first. The place is chill. Mix of diff music's will be better.

  • Thamali Janeendri

If you're looking for a good time singing along to some sick beats and if you are 30 and above this is just the place for you! Good music , good. Vibes and a funtastic time is guaranteed!

You have to wait your turn to get the song your requested, and if the place is crowded, it can take a while. Also, because the songs played are based on what people request, it can be quite a musical rollercoaster ride. I for one was not too fond of that. But, I suppose if you're really drunk, it's ok.

  • Pavithra Chandranath

A small well maitained karaoke bar, where the crowd is comprised mostly of people who lv music & lv to sing. You can see people in different age groups. Food & service is great. A place to visit if u lv music. Though other new places hv popped up, it's one of those places where u feel chilled out.

  • Chanaka De Silva

A lovely place. Liked it very much. Had a great crowd of people of differing ages, all enjoying themselves. The selection of songs available at the Karaoke was excellent. Spent a carefree couple of hours there. Would definitely recommend it for those who like to sing and enjoy.

  • Damitha Pathmalal, MBA

Great music selection. The owners are super nice and the food ain't half bad. The regulars are always happy to provide back up vocals! The only downside is that the DJ is a complete turd who doesn't pass the mic in the order of requests received and plays favorites.

  • Rukshan Hassim

This will always be my first choice to to kick back and scream a classic song with friends in the late late night. If it's the karaoke you're looking for maybe then going a bit early around 10 would be the best because it gets really …

  • Vishal Kamat

Vibrant place but forget getting a chance to sing cause that's for the regulars... And not exactly organised but then again no one cares care the place has great energy. If pub crawling then a place u to claw into

  • Hamilton Marlon Ebert

Superb place to chill out after a hectic day's work. Love the karaoke..... Had a great time. The staff are welcoming, but please don't get into any brawls cos they also look the part of bouncers.... good luck...

  • mahesh chitrasiri

Recommend for late night karaoke sessions. Don't stay sober, coz some people who sings can't bear to listening to.
