These places are often near private homes and surrounded by unhappy residents. I live well out of town and these days rarely a day goes by without hearing thump thump thump music from various directions. I often wonder if any permission is needed at all to get the big amps set up and have a concert anywhere, any time.

It looks more like someone's front room.  At least the walls will contain some of the caterwauling unlike my Swedish neighbours who prefer to offend from their front garden.

Gotta keep the girls in employment somehow.

Makes a change from ‘raiding’ entertainment centres on Walking Street.

The main offence with all these karaoke bars is " Allowing a drunk to murder a song" ????
