The private rooms cluster tightly, nearly all of them north of downtown: Austin Karaoke, Banjoo, Hi Tunes and Dance Dance Karaoke, within a few miles of each other. One rents rooms for parties of five to twenty; one opens on Saturday afternoons; one keeps going later than anywhere else in town on a Friday.
The bars hold up the other half. Seven run karaoke every night of the week, and downtown does it as an event: a national league on Wednesdays, prize money on Saturdays, a Thursday called Planet Fabulous.

Every confirmed bar in and around Austin is listed further down, by neighborhood. The KaraokeList app keeps it current and shows who’s singing tonight, along with the fun part: what you’ll sing.
Leagues, prizes and Planet Fabulous
Downtown does karaoke as an event rather than a venue. The Iron Bear on Sixth Street runs Sunday, Wednesday and Thursday — the Thursday being Planet Fabulous Karaoke. Nearby, Rain takes Mondays, and on Wednesday evenings hosts the National Karaoke League, which is a real thing that exists. Sledge Hammer On Sixth holds Saturday karaoke competitions with no entry fee and a $75 prize.
Elsewhere the nights have their own flavor. La Palapa in East Austin runs karaoke on Friday and Saturday, and at The Stardust Club in South Austin, Monday, Wednesday and Thursday are karaoke nights.
Five and six nights, without the rooms
Between the nightly seven and the single-nighters sits a band of bars doing most of the week. Showpony runs six nights. The Water Tank does five, Wednesday through Sunday. And The Common Interest, one of the nightly seven, does both formats — main-stage karaoke every night of the week, with rooms for when the group wants its own.
Two are their own thing entirely: Amity's Coffee and Karaoke near campus runs every Thursday with a two-drink minimum, and DK Sushi in South Austin adds karaoke to the sushi on Mondays, 21 and over.
Round Rock, Pflugerville, Georgetown
The suburbs hold real fixtures rather than overflow. Pardners in Round Rock runs five nights, Thursday through Monday. Pflugerville has two: Last Call takes Thursday to Saturday. Red Rooster's does Wednesdays and Thursdays, and keeps its other nights for live music.
Georgetown splits its week politely: Roots Bistro runs an early-evening karaoke on Tuesdays, and The V Canteen hosts Freedom Karaoke Night on Saturdays. Furthest out, Peggy's Bar in Cedar Creek takes Saturday nights.
