The Common Interest Karaoke Bar & Grill

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.

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!

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.
