This place bills itself as a "Gourmet & Karaoke Room" - I'm not sure I can stand behind the "gourmet" aspect, but it's a great Karaoke room!

Unlike U.S. karaoke bars, karaoke in Japan (like the rest of Asia) is "karaoke box" -- you get a small-ish room, just big enough for your party, and you can order in food and drink while singing away the night (or morning, as the case may be). The food is usually somewhat sub-par, in fact BYOB is not a bad practice (although officially frowned on). Festa, happily, is up to snuff enough that it isn't needed. There were four of us, and we wiled away the evening with decent food and good sake (actually Shuzo switched us to the cheap stuff after the second round -- probably a good plan) for about six hours. The bill was ¥5000 / person, not incredibly expensive by Tokyo standards.

Festa also has a bunch of costumes available for those who want a little cosplay with their karaoke -- check out http://www.festa-iikura.com/cos.html.

Festa is about halfway between Roppongi and Azabu-Juban on Gaienhigashi-dori, not particularly convienent to any one station, but walkable from either of the above (or, like all Tokyo locations, taxi-able).
