Drunken Boss Karaoke Lounge Part of La Defense

Friday, January 29th, 2010

Just noticed this sign today on Serrano Avenue — Drunken Boss under La Defense Restaurant and Karaoke. From what I gather, the Asian fusion restaurant is La Defense, and they’re rebranding the karaoke lounge as Drunken Boss.

DRUNKEN BOSS OPENING SPECIAL
소주한병만시키셔도 5가지 안주가 공짜

Even if you  order just one bottle of soju,
you get five different anjoo (small appetizers) free!

HOURS OPEN:  Monday-Sunday, 5:00 pm – 2:00 am
ADDRESS: 3701 Wilshire Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90010

It may be a good idea if you had a Korean friend with you, spoke a little Korean, or have some patience should you go…  But once the top’s off that soju bottle and you’ve got the mic in hand, nothing else should matter.

M2 Karaoke Bar now Story in Koreatown

Well, they do have quite a story to tell…

Story Karaoke Bar in Koreatown
After the recent murder at M2 Karaoke Bar and Cafe, the owners must have thought it wise to change the name.

M2 Karaoke Bar now Story I went near the front to find more clues about the change… but a car violently swerved to park right in front of me. Scared the bejesus out of me. Sensed it was the owner not liking the fact that I was taking pictures, so I turned around quickly and hightailed it out of there.

Koreatown is no stranger to crimes such as rapes and homicides. People are still talking about the latest murder that occurred at the M2 Cafe & Karaoke bar on 6th Street.

Michael Kim, 36 years old and of Anaheim Hills, was shot in the head by Louis Woo Lee, 22, after an argument that started inside M2 but violently ended outside. Kim was pronounced dead upon arrival at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, while Lee was arrested for murder and assault with a firearm. There was a second victim who fortunately survived and was released from the hospital.

The incident happened at 2:10 am on June 7, Sunday.

No one feels like doing karaoke at M2 anymore. Not that it was a great place to begin with…
