The Hello Soju collaboration with Casablanca Karaoke at Andy's WeHo has been a multi-week long popular, high-energy activation pairing curated cocktails with live nightlife experiences.
Casablanca Karaoke is Andy's year-long running Tuesday night in-demand concept, a hybrid karaoke and DJ night, created and curated by Emcee Judah J. Drop-ins include everyone from G-Eazy to Evan Ross to Chance the Rapper to Too Short to Jacquie Lee to Lukas Haas to Anderson .Paak himself.
This weekly Casablanca series event takes place at the exclusive speakeasy 70s-inspired lounge created by Anderson .Paak and the Houston Brothers, featuring open mic karaoke, celebrity guest drop-ins, and dynamic entertainment such as the August 4, 2027 comedy installment "All Star Comedy and Karaoke" featuring comedy personalities like Chanel Omari and Kiki Yeung.
The venue, another brainchild of the successful Houston Brothers, Mark and Jonnie Houston, is also filled with glass case decor showcasing Anderson's memorabilia, gold and platinum framed records, and one-of-a-kind images of him performing, making it an exciting destination for patrons, not to mention the live music component and rear outdoor patio.
Hello Soju partnered with the venue for a four-week specialized experiential takeover, offering featured soju cocktails during the opening hours of the event to mix with high-end late-night dining options and curated DJ sets, highlighted by DJ Pedro aka Michaelangelo Falcon and DJ Looney on comedy night, with DJ Pookie at the helm of the year-plus long series. Hello Soju and Casablanca first collaborated on a Chinese New Year celebration in February to jump-start the partnership.
Signature Hello Soju cocktails at Casablanca Karaoke include the Red Soul Rising and the Espresso Martini. These have become the favorites of the Tuesday evening annual karaoke party.
Comedian and iHeartRadio host Chanel Omari anchored the special entertainment lineup at the venue, bringing together a rotating cast of notable stand-up female comedians. Late night, it switched to the weekly karaoke, featuring drop-ins by Jamie Foxx's artist J Young, MGK, Drake's Dad Dennis Graham, actor Kyle Massey, and even had Andy's owner and legendary music artist and DJ Anderson .Paak in the house for the comedy portion of the night.
