I spent my birthday here with my friends, and had a blast. Each of my interactions with the staff was top notch customer service. It was super easy to book the small room and I had to reschedule for sooner (I got lucky <3 1 room left!) but even that was easy to do.
I waited at the bar for my room to be ready, and heavily enjoyed the entertainment and food. Really laid back and fun atmosphere.
Sorry for the mess of streamers we left behind <3 My friends really love me. Lol!
When I'm in Austin, I simply can't help myself. With a deep catalog, excellent sound system, accommodating and welcoming KJs, and an option to have a studio-quality recording emailed to you after your performance...what's not to love? CI is one of my favorite karaoke spots anywhere, and I can't recommend it highly enough.
Had the best time here in a private karaoke room! We had 8 people and I would say we were pushing it to maximum capacity since the room was a little smaller. Still enough spots for us all to sit though. We did have a server that brought us drinks and food and he was fun, singing along with us when he would come in to drop something off! Our reservation lasted two hours and I would say that was the perfect amount of time. Food was bar food/late night style but enjoyed it. The main stage bar area was packed when we left at 10pm on a Saturday night.
Great atmosphere! We came in for the evening by chance after a poor experience at another place we stopped in here. So glad we did!! The bartenders, Cade the KJ, even the patrons… were amazing! Next time we are in Austin, we will definitely be back!
Common Interest is doooope. The vibe there is nice and lively. Everyone does karaoke and it’s a good time. The food is also really good and the drinks go for a good price. I’d definitely recommend this place for a great night of karaoke!
There's no better karaoke bar in Austin. Promise you can look your whole life. And that's saying something. Tied with Ego's but the food puts it over the top
The bartenders are always super attentive and on top of making sure you’re taken care of here. I’ve been coming since I moved to Austin in 2021 and Ive never had a bad time. They’ve also got a super solid karaoke setup! I come often and it’s so easy to text the KJ to put in my song if I don’t want to get up and talk to them. They’re good at keeping the rotation moving. They’ve also got four private karaoke rooms that are easy to rent for a good price, I’ve had my birthday here last year and will be again. I love Common Interest and all their staff so much!
The name says so much! Most places like this have a “typical preference atmosphere” - Not here…There was such a rainbow of music, cultures, & age group all wrapped into an ambiance of FUN!!!
I watched people karaoke Metálica, Destiny’s Child, Garth Brooks, & a Spanish song to name just a few.
We were invited out for a night of karaoke in Austin with friends and visited The Common Interest for the first time. It was nestled in a shopping row and from the outside we didn't know what to expect. The tables are moderately spaced on tiered levels. There is a large kitchen and a very nice stage. The DJ booth is located right next to the bathrooms. There was only one bartender/server when we got there and she was working hard, as there were already people there, enough to fill half the place. She definitely got a tip from me. I really liked the karaoke setup that had the list on the songbooks app and you texted your name and song into the DJ. Your position was on the displays, up to 3 ppl after the current singer. We had a blast. The food was good and the alcohol wasn't too expensive. The crowd was supportive and respectful. We are looking forward to singing there again.
Toni's the bartender, manager, is so efficient, knowledgeable, and fun... no one can not love her. The Mac..rip, my dear friend... left an amazing Sports Collection of articles and signed jerseys and helmets to explore. I love singing Kareoke. So I go during the day in their private rooms to practice and then have get together s. Such an Iconic Place these last 36 years in Austin❣️🤩💃🕺
Looking for a place of joy with an all-around amazing staff and good bites alongside a great drink? Oh and better yet a place to celebrate Seahawks on game day! This is the real deal right here.
Had an awesome time! Karaoke night showcased some great talents and I really love the private rooms!
