Karaoke in Baltimore, MD
Baltimore spreads its karaoke from Bel Air down to Annapolis, with private rooms in a Catonsville izakaya that open every afternoon and run late. In the city the bars keep it weekly and close to home — and at the Clipper Mill Inn, the one regulars call the Bloody Bucket, John Waters has been seen enjoying the Saturday night karaoke.

Fifty-one confirmed venues, and no single district holds them. The city proper sings in Mount Vernon, Federal Hill and Canton; Dundalk keeps three venues of its own; Laurel, on the road to Washington, keeps five; and the ring of towns from Halethorpe round to Annapolis adds a night or two apiece. Most bars here hold one strong night a week, so the day does the picking.
The exceptions anchor everything. The Hub Sakaki in Catonsville runs private rooms seven days, from the afternoon until late. Walt's Inn in Canton sings five nights ending Sunday, Kenny B's Blue Marlin in Dundalk five nights ending Saturday, and The Rowan Tree holds four late ones in between.

Every confirmed bar in and around Baltimore 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.
The city, night by night
Leon's Backroom in Mount Vernon runs Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. The Drinkery, a few blocks away, takes Friday and Saturday. Between those two, Walt's and the Rowan Tree, the city has an answer every night but Monday — when it comes down to Avenue Kitchen & Bar in Hampden and the rooms at Broadway Hotpot & Bar in Fells Point.
Thursday downtown means Bmore1920social, where a karaoke and game night follows happy hour. And Saturday belongs to the Clipper Mill Inn in Woodberry, also answering to the Bloody Bucket, where the karaoke has drawn John Waters himself. A bar does not earn two names by being dull.
Dundalk and the east side
Kenny B's holds the spine, Tuesday to Saturday. Around it the east side works in single nights. Phillip's Inn in Dundalk sings on Sunday afternoons, which is a civilized hour for it. Tempo Lounge in Essex takes Friday.
Captain's Bar & Grill in Middle River keeps Monday and Saturday — a pairing you will meet again on the other side of the map.
The ring, Halethorpe to Annapolis
Thursday is the ring's night. Coolahan's Pub in Halethorpe invites you to find your inner Elvis, Maynard's Cafe in Brooklyn sings with no cover, and Main Street Tower in Bel Air goes late.
The weekend spreads wider. Timbuktu in Hanover sings Friday and Saturday. Morsberger's Tavern in Catonsville takes Friday alone. The Office Bar & Grill in Pasadena pairs a Wednesday karaoke night with a Saturday party. Sunday finishes at Castlebay in Annapolis.
Then there is the Monday-and-Saturday club: Crofton Cantina in Gambrills and Captain's up in Middle River both keep exactly that pair. Two venues, two directions, one shared calendar. Ellie's Place in Millersville keeps just the Saturday.
