Planning your event

AWOL Bar & Grill is a karaoke- and sports-driven bar in Kips Bay/Gramercy with reservable tables across its indoor bar, lounge, and large outdoor area, plus full venue buyouts for up to 100 guests. It works best for lively, casual events where singing, game watching, and pub food are the main attractions.

Vibe: Lively, upbeat, and high-energy with a familiar dive-bar atmosphere that encourages communal participation. It leans dark, unpolished, and slightly chaotic — high volume and fun over formal polish.

Private events: Sections can be reserved in the main bar, lounge, or the outdoor area, and the entire venue is available for a full buyout. Karaoke is a shared-stage, open-format communal experience — there are no private karaoke rooms.
Food & drinks: The kitchen serves a gourmet take on traditional American pub fare, including classic burgers, fries, and chicken, supported by full bar service.

Good to know

Karaoke runs four nights a week: Wednesday and Thursday 8 PM–2 AM, Friday and Saturday 9 PM–3 AM — plan singing-focused events around those nights.
AWOL is a dedicated New England Patriots bar and plays every Patriots game with the sound on, which affects the atmosphere on game days.
Karaoke uses a shared stage in an open format, not private rooms, so expect a communal experience with other patrons unless you buy out the venue.
The outdoor area has 10 HD TVs, making outdoor game watching viable for groups.
The vibe is loud, dark, and informal — better suited to energetic parties than seated dinners or quiet networking.
It's a very short walk from the 23rd St and 28th St stations on the 6 line, with the R/W at 23rd St and M23-SBS crosstown bus nearby.
