Can I come in earlier than your opening time?

How do I make a reservation?
Reservations are quick and easy. They can be made by filling out this form or by calling us at (773) 8952299 between the hours of 7pm and 2am. If we do not answer please TEXT or leave us a VOICEMAIL.
How long do parties usually last?
It varies widely, however the average small or medium party stays about 3 hours and the average large party stays about 4 hours. When in doubt, always reserve your party for longer. You only pay for the amount of time you actually stay.
Are there any minimums?
Only on Friday, Saturdays and holidays because they are our busiest times. Small and medium rooms require at least 2 hours and large rooms require at least 3. Every group needs to meet a bar minimum as well, with a minimum of $15 spend per person whether it be on food or beverage.
How many days in advance do I need to make a reservation?
Reservations can be made anytime as long as there is availability, but we strongly recommend booking as early as possible, especially for Fridays and Saturdays, which tend to fill up fast. While most guests place their reservations about 2 weeks in advance, for Friday and Saturday bookings, we recommend reserving at least 1 month ahead to increase your chances of securing a room.

Why do you need my credit card to make a reservation? Cancellation policy?
We ask for your credit card to prevent late cancellations and noshows. We ask that you make any cancellations at least 2 days prior to your party, otherwise Lincoln Karaoke reserves the right to charge you for the entirety of the reservation.
Do you guys charge a deposit to hold the room?
No.
How do I check in?
Just go to the bar and check in with the name you used to reserve your room. We will ask to hold a physical credit card for the duration of your party.
Why does Lincoln Karaoke need to hold my credit card while I’m in the room?
We hold one card per party to cover any discrepancies at the end of the evening, such as missing or damaged equipment. We also reserve the right to use this card to pay your bill if you
forget to pay before you leave.
How and when do I pay?
You check out at the bar at the end of your party. You can pay cash or credit. The room charge cannot be split amongst multiple cards.
Will you tell me when my time is up?
Your party lasts as long as you actually stay in the room. You are responsible for keeping track of your own time. Lincoln Karaoke will ask you to leave only if there is another party reserved after yours. Because rooms can have multiple reservations, please be on time. You will be responsible for your reserved time. We reserve the right to charge you from the reserved start time.
Can I purchase alcohol there?
Yes, we have two full bars with a variety of liquor, cocktails, wines, soju, bottled and draft craft and domestic beers.
Are you BYOB? Any outside food or drinks allowed?
There is no outside alcohol, beverages or food allowed. No exceptions! If you have anything, you can check it in with us and pick it up once the party ends.
I am celebrating a birthday / special occasion. Can I bring in a cake?
Yes, this is the only exception that is made.
Do people in my party pay for their own food and drinks?
It’s up to you. Most parties have everyone take care of their own drinks. If you want to pay for some or all of your guests’ orders, just ask us; we have plenty of options.
