I had my 22nd birthday here, and I will never forget how amazing that day was! The bowling was fun and had a great atmosphere, and the karaoke room was the best fun I'd had in ages!! The pricing was very reasonable (compared to the QV venue my sister had gone to, which had been significantly more expensive) and the staff were very friendly.

Approximate cost: $80

A friend was visiting from Japan and wanted to do karaoke so we decided to try Shine. The service was excellent and we felt very welcome.
Unfortunately the karaoke set-up wasn't ideal - the music was very loud, even on the quietest setting, but the microphones were really quiet so we couldn't hear ourselves sing (for some people I guess this could be advantageous!). There were thin curtains across the windows so people looked in whenever they walked past, and the air con was on very high even though it was winter!
It would probably be a fun place to go for a karaoke party, but isn't ideal if you're serious about your singing...

Approximate cost: $30 per hour
