Even if you have a karaoke machine at home, it’s still nice to get out every once in awhile for karaoke.  If New York City there is no shortage of places to do karaoke.  Many bars will have one night when they do karaoke, but there are also plenty of dedicated karaoke bars.   Some karaoke bars also have private rooms.  So if you want to do karaoke in NYC, then you have lots of options.

 

So here are my favorite places to sing karaoke in NYC:

Radio Star

Radio Star has the best selection of songs of any of the karaoke bars I have been too, so everyone will be able to find something to sing.  You can also browse the song list on their website before you get there.   They have a bar area where you can sing karaoke or you can rent a private room.  If you really want to have a crazy night, they offer several all-you-can-drink packages.  They also have happy hour Monday – Thursday from 3 pm – 8 pm when they have half price karaoke and drink specials.  Radio Star is conveniently located close to Koreatown.  I would recommend making a reservation if you would like to do private room karaoke.
