Kokekokko lets a group of 10 to 30 people take over a private karaoke room in the first arrondissement of Paris. The venue is a karaoke bar at 41 rue Sainte-Anne with nine private boxes decorated in a Japanese theme, a bar serving signature cocktails and a food menu inspired by Japan. It suits team building, leaving parties, afterworks, birthdays and bachelor or bachelorette parties.
Seminars and company events
The Lounge is the room made for groups. The official site gives its capacity as 10 to 30 people and names team building, leaving parties and afterworks among the occasions it hosts. This is a social format, not a meeting format. There is no plenary room, the pages we read do not describe presentation equipment, and the bar opens at 4:30 p.m. It fits the evening that follows a seminar day held elsewhere, a team reward or an end-of-year gathering for a department.
Companies can send their request as a business. The Lounge request form asks whether you are an individual or a company, then collects the company name, registration number, billing address and EU VAT number, so the invoice can be issued to the business directly. The form also asks for the date, start and end times, the number of guests and the occasion.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are not part of the offer. The site mentions birthdays and bachelor or bachelorette parties for the Lounge, which makes it an option for the evening before a wedding or for a small private party within the 30-guest limit.
Rooms and capacities
Nine rooms are listed, all of them private karaoke boxes. The Lounge, at 10 to 30 people, is the only one that suits a company group. The eight others are small: Video Games takes 1 to 2 people, Sento 1 to 3, Eros 1 to 4, Ninja 1 to 5, Yatai 1 to 6, Manga 1 to 6, Matsuri 1 to 6 and Yamanote 1 to 8. They can serve for a few colleagues who want a separate room next to the main group.
Every box carries a catalog of more than 60,000 songs through Karafun, in French and in other languages. The Lounge and Manga rooms also have Joysound for songs in Japanese. The page for the Video Games room says that two wireless professional microphones are provided and that food and drink are ordered from a tablet in the room.
Catering
The Lounge request lets you choose one or several food and drink options: the Sakura package, the Fuji package, a Japanese sandwich called sando, a shortcake and a chocolate brownie made without nuts. The bar serves signature cocktails and a Japanese-inspired menu. The pages we read do not list what each package contains, so ask the venue for the detail before you commit.
Getting there
The bar is at 41 rue Sainte-Anne, 75001 Paris, and is open every day from 4:30 p.m. to 1:30 a.m. Pyramides metro station is 200 meters away and Quatre Septembre is 400 meters away. The Saemes Pyramides car park, at 15 rue des Pyramides, is 300 meters from the door.
