Karaoke Lounge

I need something to do in Syracuse, New York on Friday night?
My husband and I want to go on a scenic train ride for our 5 years aniversary. We want to leave our house on Friday evening and stay in Syracuse for the night then head to Utica for the train ride. We want to stay in a hotel that has a nice lounge with live entertainment (no karaoke). Suggestions?
Parkview Hotel is a cozy little shop. Marx is nice and upscale as well. They are both near the scene Syracuse and you can watch plays, etc.
