BAM Karaoke Box Parmentier can host team-building evenings, end-of-year parties, after-work events, birthdays and bachelor or bachelorette parties, from 6 guests in a private room to 180 when the whole venue is privatized. It has nine private karaoke rooms, a cocktail bar and a terrace, at 40 avenue de la République in the 11th arrondissement of Paris.
Seminars and company events
BAM sells three corporate formats in Paris. The company evening is a turnkey party with karaoke and a musical blind test in private rooms, with privatization of one room, several rooms or the whole venue. The musical olympiads are a daytime format in which teams compete in blind tests, quizzes, karaoke battles and stage challenges, led by hosts, with a closing drink at the bar. The seminar format combines breakfast, a working session in an equipped room with screen and projector, a buffet or cocktail lunch and an optional karaoke session to close the day, in morning, half-day or full-day versions.
For evening events, BAM offers set packages that combine two hours of karaoke and blind test with drinks and, for the higher tiers, food. Optional activities include card draws, battles and cocktail masterclasses. Organizers can download a corporate brochure from the website and request a quote.
Rooms and capacities
The nine private rooms are decorated on a Miami Beach Art Deco theme. Four rooms take 6 guests each: Perroquet, Ananas, Singe and Cocktail. Plume takes 8, Flamants 10, Toucan 12 and Palmier 15. The largest, the Salle Paradise, takes 30 guests on amphitheater-style banquettes over two levels, with a private bar, one TV screen in the room and another in the bar. The terrace can be privatized for 40 guests and the bar area for 40. For a full buyout, the venue states a capacity of 180 guests. The venue is accessible to guests with reduced mobility.
Several rooms can be booked side by side for a large team, so that groups rotate between rooms or gather at the bar between sessions.
Catering
Food and drink are served in the rooms: each box has a screen for ordering, and staff bring orders to the room. The menu centers on dishes to share and tapas, alongside a cocktail list with signature drinks and classics. Food and drinks can be pre-ordered from the customer account before the session, and drink tickets can be bought in advance and handed out on site. Outside food and drinks are not accepted. Kosher wines, champagne, soft drinks and spirits are available.
History and setting
BAM Karaoke Box runs private-room karaoke venues in Paris, Bordeaux, Chamonix, Madrid and London. In Paris, the brand has five addresses: Richer, Étoile, Madeleine, Parmentier and Sentier. Each has its own decor, and Parmentier takes its theme from the neon and Art Deco of Miami Beach, from the room names to the pink Paradise room. The terrace, decorated in the same style, is open for drinks even without a room booking.
The venue is open every day from early afternoon until late evening, past 1 am from Monday to Saturday, which makes it practical for a team outing that starts after work.
Getting there
The address is 40 avenue de la République, 75011 Paris. The nearest metro stations are Parmentier on line 3, Oberkampf on lines 5 and 9, and République on lines 3, 5, 8, 9 and 11. The venue sits on the axis between République and Père-Lachaise, easy to reach from offices in central and eastern Paris.
