Has the latest crop of "American Idol" contestants inspired you?
This second-floor Chinatown hang (located above Penang restaurant) features karaoke until 10 p.m., when DJs take the stage and you hit the dance floor. Get there before 10 p.m. most nights for free entry; if there's a cover, it's usually only $5.
Plan ahead and book one of five VIP rooms (seating 8-30), and you can have a private karaoke session, or just lounge and sip cocktails. Students should be happy to hear a valid college ID and 21+ driver's license scores you a 10 percent discount. As for the name? One look at the color scheme and ruby leather couches and walls, and you'll get it.
