Pop-up Soho bar requires diners to sing karaoke classics or leave hungry
Londoners will have the chance to bag a free dinner this month as a two-day karaoke club invites would-be performers to 'sing for their supper'.
The Kiwioke Bar will open in Soho on August 20-21 and guests will have to take to the stage and belt out a karaoke classic with their tablemates before dining.
Before starters arrive, diners are required to sing with their table mates, and only then will they be served their food.
A similar scenario will unfold before main courses and desserts, though for these to arrive tables will be matched up to sing in bigger groups. No solos are allowed.
Hits available to sing include numbers by Elton John, ABBA, The Killers and Lady Gaga.
It's a savvy marketing stunt from the cider brand Old Mout, which has even brought in Kiss radio star Harriet Rose to host each evening.
The nights are completely free, with microphones, neon lighting, dressing up boxes and more on offer too, not to mention 'unlimited' cider.
On the menu, meanwhile, are dishes such as smoked chicken with mango and watercress salad, chilli and lime marinated flank steak, and grilled pineapples with cream. Don't expect the food to be top dollar. Then again, your singing is unlikely to be.
There are still some tickets left for the early evening slot. The Kiwioke Bar, 59 Greek Street, W1D 3DZ, August 20-21,
