Mack the Knife

From USS Takeda Shingen

Mack the Knife is a karaoke bar in the Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco, Earth. Opened somewhere in the mid-twenty-third century, it is known as the place to go for karaoke in San Francisco.

With a catalog spanning centuries and cultures throughout the Federation, with a function that allows for searching by song, artist, album, genre, lyrics and culture, their collection of music is nearly unrivaled. They reserve the right to veto any person from singing any song, but mostly only exercise this right for things like Klingon and Human Opera. They're well known for being one of the few karaoke bars that not only allows Elvis in their collection but has his whole catalog. They also include alternate lyric sets for songs, particularly parody, novelty and filk in nature.

They have a sister location, owned and operated by the same people, in New York City called Fly Me to the Moon. It's located in the Soho district. The databases between the two locations are linked so that customers can use the same singer profile at both, which allows for quick access to favorite songs, genres and artists, as well as informing staff as to the popularity and quality of the customers' performances, to assist in decisions about vetoes and making song suggestions.
