Karaoke friends - best places to rent rooms for a party?

if you're open to something a bit different, check out cantina in kreuzberg. they have a private room in the back that's usually used for film screenings but you can set it up with their karaoke gear and it holds like 25 people. the vibe is more dive bar than flashy karaoke lounge, which i kind of prefer for a birthday crowd that wants to drink and be loud without feeling watched. just call ahead to reserve it, it's not on their website

honestly for a 40th i'd skip the typical karaoke spots and check out mongo's in friedrichshain. they have these semi-private lounge areas with their own sound system, feels more like a party than a performance. you can bring your own playlist on a usb stick too, which is huge for a birthday crowd. just book the "salon" room, it fits about 15 people and has its own bar access so you're not waiting in line

I've heard good things about BierBar in Prenzlauer Berg, they have a karaoke room downstairs that's cozy for a smaller group.

Worth noting that Berlin street names have official umlaut and ß rules that trip people up, so a sign showing "Strasse" versus "Straße" is not actually a spelling error, just an older transcription. Same with "ue" versus "ü" (e.g. "Kantstrasse" vs "Kantstraße"), both are considered valid renderings and you'll see the ß version on the blue Schilder and the ss version on older plaques or in databases that predate Unicode. If the difference you're seeing is between those two forms, there's nothing to fix and both are technically correct.

if the signs u mean are the old enamel ones on the house facades those are often protected as Baudenkmal so nobody's allowed to correct them even if the spelling is outdated. the binding version is whatever is in the Berliner Strassenverzeichnis plus the entry in the Liegenschaftskataster, so if u tell me the street i can point u to the right Bezirksamt Mitte or Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf page. tbh the merged district thing is real but the facade signs are a separate story, theyre basically museum pieces at this point

honestly thats super common in Charlottenburg, the district offices were merged from older Bezirke and nobody ever fixed all the Schilder. if its a real street you can check the official strassenverzeichnis on berlin.de, that list is what the Burgeramt actually goes by. which street is it? some of the Kaiserdamm / Kantstrasse signs are notorious for this.
