Rooms are brightly colored with themes leaning towards the childishly cutesy. Hello Kitty, Super Mario, and a crew of Disney characters make their appearances. Rooms with a ho-hum teddy bear theme are unnecessarily numerous.
Somewhat more mature themes include a tropical island, a luxury liner, or S&M bondage. The largest room is luxuriously dedicated like an 18th century French palace. It even includes rental period piece costumes to inspire guests to sing their heads off like Marie Antoinette.
Sophisticated it's not, but Coolth understands that there's nothing pretentious about singing karaoke. Creating a goofy playground for adults is the obvious way to get folks to belt out "Bohemian Rhapsody."
Doors open at 1 pm, and on a recent Tuesday afternoon, a line has already formed. On weekdays, 80-100 customers take advantage of the lower daytime prices, ready to snuggle down into sofas, microphones in hand.
