Brooklyn has a karaoke night for almost every kind of singer. Some places hand you a microphone in front of a room full of strangers; others let you book a private suite and belt out your favorite songs with friends. From Williamsburg karaoke bars and Bushwick singalongs to traditional KTV lounges farther south, the borough has plenty of ways to turn an ordinary night out into a performance.
This guide covers both dedicated karaoke venues and neighborhood bars that host karaoke on selected nights. We’ve separated the two so you can plan a birthday party, reserve a private room, or find a spontaneous open-mic singalong. Schedules, room rates, and reservation policies may change, so check directly before visiting.
Dedicated karaoke bars & private-room venues
Beats Karaoke
Williamsburg | Best for both private karaoke rooms and public karaoke.
📍 219 Grand St, Brooklyn, NY 11211
Beats offers two ways to sing: join the communal karaoke in its bar or reserve a private room with friends. The lively, informal atmosphere is especially well suited to birthdays and groups, and room options accommodate both small parties and larger celebrations. Drinks and group packages complete the night.

Private karaoke rooms: Yes
Seventh Heaven Bar & Karaoke
Bushwick | Best for free communal karaoke every night
📍 4 Irving Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11237
Seventh Heaven combines a candlelit, offbeat lounge with a sound system designed for karaoke. Guests sing in the shared bar rather than a private booth, and the venue also hosts independent performances and community events. There's no karaoke song fee or cover for ordinary karaoke, although the bar requires a one-drink minimum.
Karaoke schedule: Every night during bar hours; other events may precede karaoke.
Private karaoke rooms: No private booths; whole-venue private parties available.
Insa
Gowanus | Best for Korean barbecue and private-room singing
📍 328 Douglass St, Brooklyn, NY 11217
Insa brings dinner and karaoke together in one outing. Start with Korean barbecue, banchan, and drinks in the restaurant, then move to a reserved private karaoke room to sing with your own group. The rooms come in different sizes, so it's an appealing choice for birthdays and celebrations where you want a full meal before the microphones come out.
Karaoke schedule: Wed–Thu 5:30 PM–midnight; Fri–Sat 5:30 PM–2 AM; Sun 4–10 PM

AUX Karaoke Box
Bed-Stuy / Ocean Hill | Best for private karaoke suites

Book ahead if you're planning to go on a weekend.
Karaoke schedule: At all times during regular opening hours.

📍 233 Starr St, Brooklyn, NY 11237
233 Starr Karaoke is a dedicated karaoke spot with private singing rooms and party packages. Its K-pop song options and bookable rooms distinguish it from the casual open-mic bars nearby.

It's especially useful for celebrations where karaoke is the entire evening's plan.
Karaoke schedule: At all times during regular opening hours.
Private karaoke rooms: Yes
Estelle Lounge & Karaoke Bar
Sheepshead Bay area | Best for late-night private karaoke
📍 1824 Avenue U, Brooklyn, NY 11229
Estelle Lounge & Karaoke Bar offers a lounge-style karaoke experience away from the busier North Brooklyn nightlife districts. Its private rooms are suited to groups looking to sing together without waiting for a public microphone. It belongs on the list for people planning a karaoke-centered party in southern Brooklyn rather than a bar crawl.
Karaoke schedule: Reported daily 8 PM–4 AM; confirm before going.
Private karaoke rooms: Yes
Bars with recurring karaoke nights
Witching Hour
Bushwick | Best for alternative nightlife and Monday karaoke.
📍 1312 Decatur St, New York, New York 11207
Witching Hour leans into a quirky, alternative bar atmosphere where themed events are part of the draw. Karaoke is one of its recurring forms of entertainment rather than a nightly service, so it's best for singers who enjoy a lively crowd and don't mind sharing the stage. Check the venue's upcoming events before planning a karaoke visit.
Karaoke schedule: Mondays from 8 PM (at time of posting, confirm before you go!)
Private karaoke rooms: No — communal karaoke only.
Alligator Lounge
Williamsburg | Best for casual dive-bar singalongs
📍 600 Metropolitan Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11211
Alligator Lounge is a lively, unpretentious neighborhood bar better known for beer, pizza, and group nights than elaborate decor. Karaoke fits right into that casual formula: sing in front of fellow patrons, cheer on friends, and make an evening of it without booking a private suite. Check the current karaoke night schedule before visiting.
Karaoke schedule: Wed, Thur, Fri, Sun from 10 PM; Sat from 11 PM (at time of posting, confirm before you go!)

Mood Ring
Bushwick | Best for astrology cocktails and an energetic karaoke crowd
📍 1260 Myrtle Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11221
Mood Ring combines zodiac-inspired cocktails, red lighting, and dance-friendly nightlife. On karaoke nights, that energy shifts toward open-mic singing in a fun, social setting.

Karaoke schedule: Certain Sundays, Mondays and Tuesdays, 9 PM–2 AM. Check their event calendar.
Private karaoke rooms: No – communal karaoke only.
Montero Bar & Grill
Brooklyn Heights | Best for old-school nautical dive karaoke
📍 73 Atlantic Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11201
Montero is a storied neighborhood dive decorated with maritime memorabilia and an atmosphere that feels a long way from a modern karaoke lounge. Communal singing is part of its late-night character, attracting regulars and visitors looking for something casual and memorable. Go for the old-Brooklyn atmosphere as much as the opportunity to sing.
Karaoke schedule: Reported Thu–Sat from around 10 PM (at time of posting, confirm before you go!)
Private karaoke rooms: No – communal karaoke only.
Keybar
Bushwick | Best for Tuesday karaoke and drink specials
📍 143 Troutman St, Brooklyn, NY 11206
Keybar offers a high-energy neighborhood-bar setting with DJs on other nights and regular Tuesday karaoke hosted by Lamaria. Its drinks specials add to the appeal for groups seeking a midweek outing. Unlike a private-room venue, this is a shared-microphone evening where audience participation is part of the experience.
Karaoke schedule: Tuesdays from 9 PM (at time of posting, confirm before you go!)
Private karaoke rooms: No – communal karaoke only.
Merv’s Bar
Bushwick | Best for Thursday night karaoke
📍 266 Irving Ave, Brooklyn, New York 11237
Merv's is a neighborhood-bar option for those who prefer singing on a familiar, casual bar night rather than renting a karaoke room.

Finding the right Brooklyn karaoke night
If you want a guaranteed private singing session, start with Beats, Insa, AUX, 233 Starr, 100 Fun, or Estelle. For public karaoke, Seventh Heaven offers nightly communal singing, while bars such as Mood Ring, Keybar, and Talon build karaoke into their weekly events. Before going, confirm the current schedule, cover charges, minimums, age rules, and whether advance room reservations are required.
Open bar tabs from your phone
Julep lets you open a bar tab, close out, and tip directly from your phone with Apple Pay or Google Pay — so you can spend less time waiting around and more time enjoying your night.
