While Tallahassee locals are convinced that there’s an absence of things to do in the city, there’s a collection of bars around town that offer karaoke nights throughout the week that may change your mind. Whether you’re looking for somewhere near FAMU, Midtown or neither, there are a couple bars that might become your favorite spot, especially with the influence of their drink specials.
Located on Apalachee Parkway with a variety of stouts and brews, World of Beer is home to karaoke on Wednesday from 9 p.m. until midnight. In case you’re busy on Wednesdays, check out World of Beer on Thursday nights for its weekly trivia or Friday evenings for a live band.
Vegan, vegetarian or none of the above, you’re welcome to attend The Bark’s weekly karaoke night on Wednesdays starting at 9 p.m. The vegetarian restaurant and bar hosts numerous events all month ranging from punk bands to activism-friendly panels for locals that are looking for an unconventional night out. Their karaoke night accompanies its selection of $5 drinks to encourage you to return every week.
Along Midtown’s extensive list of bars and businesses, The Brass Tap reigns superior with its traditional Thursday night karaoke. Known for their lengthy list of craft beers, the bar not only has karaoke until 1 a.m., but it has specials on their drinks throughout the week fit for a college student’s budget.
Notorious for being a FAMU fan favorite, Top Flite is another local stop for karaoke on Wednesday nights. The club has gained favoritism for its intoxicating drinks that pair well with a night out while singing your favorite R&B track at karaoke. Did we mention that it has cash rewards for the best singers?
Celebrate every Thursday night at the House of Music with Prime Rib Thursday and karaoke. If you happen to be busy on Thursdays or not a big fan of prime rib, The Junction at Monroe also has karaoke on Tuesday evenings starting at 7 p.m. with drink specials on margaritas.
Bird’s Aphrodisiac Oyster Shack
Almost hidden on Borough Street just north of West Tennessee Street, this restaurant and bar frequently hosts comedy shows, karaoke and occasionally, a burlesque show. Catch its karaoke night every Thursday starting at 9:30 p.m. and grab a bucket of oysters while you’re there.
