Who makes it

I'm Michael Jones. I kept reaching the front of the queue with the book in my hand and no idea what to sing. And every list of karaoke bars online was out of date.

No company, no team. If a city page is wrong, that's on me, and you can tell me so.

Where the listings come from

Every venue starts in public place data. It only gets written up as a karaoke bar once a real source confirms it runs karaoke: its own site, an events page, a schedule. No proof, no write-up.

• 5,942venues confirmed to run karaoke
• 50states and DC
• 98%with a source on file
• 153cities written up by hand

We checked the listings from August 13 to September 5, 2026. Those are the real check dates, not the day the page was rebuilt.

The neighborhood each bar sits in comes from open map data, looked up from where the bar is. Neighborhood boundaries from Who’s On First (whosonfirst.org), CC-BY 4.0, and © OpenStreetMap contributors (openstreetmap.org/copyright), ODbL. The city guide maps are drawn by us from OpenStreetMap data, © OpenStreetMap contributors, in vector tiles from Protomaps.

What it does not claim

Karaoke nights move. A bar drops its Tuesday, a host quits, a room closes. Call ahead if you're making a special trip.

The city guides are the places worth knowing first, not the whole list. The full map is in the app.

The app

KaraokeList is free to download. Your setlist, your log, Listen for it and the karaoke map need no account, and the list and log work with no signal.

A free account adds your stage name, a backup for your songs, adding bars to the map, and the Magic Mic, song lookups and your Voice Print.

Nothing about you leaves your phone unless you choose to share it. The details are in the privacy policy.

On iPhone and Android. Android arrived on September 10, 2026. Same setlist, same Magic Mic, same map. What you buy follows your account, so switching phones keeps it.
