Good Karaoke Room Spot for Birthday in NYC?

Question

A friend of mine wants me to put together a Karaoke Party for her. We want a private living room type of space rather than a required public spectacle.

I know of several places but have to admit that I have only been to 2 recently - Sing Sing on Ave A and BINY near the Holland Tunnel.

I already looked on CitySearch and Sing Sing got BAD reviews for the conditions of the private rooms. I already know the service is bad from being in the bar area last week, so I wasn't surprised by that. But "nasty" is not an option.

One thing I like about BINY is that they charge you a particular rate for the room, but they subtract from that bill anything that you spend on food and drink. It's just not in a convenient place for the people who will be attending. Besides, I want to know my other options.

All I see on Citysearch is stories about overcharging, run-down/dirty private rooms, and surly service. Anyone know of a consistently good spot?
