‘Voice Lounge’ – The swankest karaoke lounge in town
View(s):By Sanath Weerasuriya
Colombo with its new look, is getting more and more hyperactive than any other South Asian city. The night life of Colombo is getting more vibrant than any other time in its history.
‘Voice Lounge’, located at the third level of the new wing of the Burgher Recreation Club (BRC) is the latest happening place in Colombo. ‘Voice Lounge’ has all the elements of a great karaoke hang out – sound systems and uber fancy lighting to enthrall the audience, a song list encompassing everything from retro favourites of the 70’s right up to 2012’s hit tracks and of course fantastic offerings on beverage and cuisine.
A conception of Sajith and Jeewana Fernando together with Dinuk Hettiarachchi, it wouldn’t be too bold to say ‘Voice Lounge’ is a depiction of the guys themselves – an easy going place where you can just be utterly yourself. The lounge is hugely spacious allowing you room to move around freely, yet furnished up to be intimate enough and blessed with larger than life screens off which to follow lyrics of your chosen song. The long bar not only takes centre stage visually, but moreover offers a range of great spirits.
“The city’s options for Karaoke have been limited. We wanted to create a place where everyone feels like having a blast behind the mike” said Sajith. It’s probably this culture that ensures that newbies and regulars get equal time in the spotlight here. “I guess there’s a bit of pop star in each of us. Explore it!” adds Saj, aglow with mischief. Though it is worthy of note that even those who may not sing, get truly caught up in Voice’s upbeat flavour – evident especially on weekend nights when the dance moves clearly matches the talent of the singing.
Claiming a ‘current song list’ means the Voice Lounge has everything dating from the hits of the 70’s right upto the chart toppers of 2012. Whether you like pop, rock n’ roll, slow duets and even want to belt out hip hop, a list of over 3000 songs leaves you spoilt for choice.
Voice Lounge’s extensive range of beverages offers liquid courage for those who need some encouragement whilst a range of delectable bar snacks makes for great nibbles through the party night. More great dishes on the menu in terms of dinner ensures that Voice Lounge has a frequent weekday evening crowd. Current specials include Happy Hour from 7.00 pm to 9.00 pm on Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday with alternate Wednesdays being spiced up with Bankers or Ladies Nights.
At Voice Lounge it’s totally acceptable to fulfill its guest’ stage fantasies, be them holding tune to your all time favourite pop song or getting mushy over slow duets.
