Red Box just recently opened its doors to all music lovers at the G101 Garden Level, Ayala Center Cebu. EventGeek had the chance to savor the food and beverages Red Box offers and test all the facilities available at our disposal. For an easier visualization of where the place is, Red Box Karaoke Cebu is located at Ayala Center Cebu Terraces. It’s actually right beside Max’s Restaurant and across the Terraces’ fountain.

What's new in Red Box?

The experience will definitely blow you away! You don't have to force someone to sing during the time of your stay in the place. Expect original music videos- watch or just listen (all are licensed). The area has Wifi (if you get bored) which makes it very bloggers-friendly I guess.

Song selection has become more ergonomic (compared to entering different and long digit combinations), Red Box requires you to only press one or two numbers to have your desired song selected. The guide/manual is easy to understand too!

Enjoy yourselves with their delicious food from home-grown dishes such as Sisig, Lechon Kawali (with Fried Tofu), Crispy Pata, Kilawin Tanigue, Calamares; Stir Fried Beef Tenderloin; Crispy Spring Roll Trio, Buffalo Wings, Fish and Chips, Thai Style Grilled Beef Tenderloin, Charcoal grilled pork belly, Loaded Nachos, French Fries, Garlic Rice, Plain Rice. And many more! Desserts, soft and hard drinks included!



Red Box is something new and interesting. The interior of the place is really amazing and surprising for a karaoke place compared to the sound system. Also, all the rooms in Red Box are different from each other (from chairs, interiors and design). It's really something one can't expect to be looking at its entrance outside. Once you get inside the place, it'll seem like you're not in Ayala Center Cebu. You'll feel like you're in a hotel or something.

The Red Box staff is very accommodating. They frequently ask what you need and want more. They are quick and presentable too. In every room, by its doors, placed is a specialized phone. All you have to do is press 0 (ZERO) for one of the staff to assist in your room to take your order.

Red Box Cebu is now open to serve Cebuanos who wants to have a fun filled karaoke night with friends and/or and enjoy delectable food and drinks served at a very affordable price. Truly, the Red Box private preview was awesome!
