We can already see the laminated songbooks and neon lights. not to mention, taste the cheap beer. Yes, we’re talking about a karaoke bar, where you can belt out a ballad or two with friends, or in a room full of strangers and not care.
If you’re ready to bust a lung catching a Celine Dion note, then here are the best karaoke bars in Sydney.
K Square Karaoke Lounge
Haymarket
Venture down to this late-night basement, where you will find large private rooms to sing till your heart’s content. They serve cocktails and Korean beer. If you’re hungry, snack on calamari rings, Taiwan sausage, chicken wings, and crab claws. During happy hour, you can book a room for $10 per person for an hour. A five to eight person room can cost up to $108 per hour.
Dynasty Karaoke
Haymarket
Dynasty is a well-hidden bar in Dixon Mall. There are 13 private rooms, or the main stage is ripe for the taking—if you’re brave enough. Each room has all the bells and whistles, including touchscreens and a visual system. To keep you liquored up, there’s fine whiskey, champagne, and fun cocktails. They’re also slinging mouthwatering Chinese snacks from the kitchen. The VIP room is $10 per person per hour, or if you need to host a group, you can book a 5-12 person room for $98.
Karaoke World
CBD
Karaoke World is one of Sydney’s first karaoke venues. Established in 1994, it evolved into a refurbished funky, hub of drunken singing. They have 18 rooms to settle into with a group of friends. The best part, all rooms are air-conditioned—a big deal if you know— and over 120,000 songs to choose from. You get a free bottle of champagne if it’s your birthday and you’re 18 or over. Otherwise, you can order off a long list of cocktails, beer, and wine. A room is available to hire from $15 per person for three hours during happy hour.
Echo Point
CBD
This low-lit karaoke bar has large rooms, multi-language song list, and is open well into the early hours of the morning. They have a range of private rooms from two to 20 person rooms, each complete with a touchscreen karaoke system. You can get food and drinks delivered to the room, so all you need to worry about, is the next ballad you want to belt out. Order a heaping of chicken karaage or sushi to keep the party happy.
