Each visit to Voicebox is an opportunity to try something new alongside your friends. Maybe it's belting out a random selection from the 12,000-title song list. Or maybe it's taking on the role of a backup dancer, a tambourine player, or a co-headliner who grabs a second microphone to share the spotlight. All of these scenarios unfold behind the closed doors of private karaoke suites, where friends can gather together around the TV and control their suite and song selection through Voicebox's custom mobile web app.

Besides the music, both Portland locations feature onsite kitchens that cook up fresh cuisine to provide an ever-changing menu. Specialties range from Voicebox Sliders to BBQ chicken quesadilla, which doubles as a great vocal warmup when said aloud. Local beers, sakes, and cocktails complement the food, and a knowledgeable staff is on hand for recommendations.
