Karaoke in Charleston, SC

Charleston karaoke starts on King Street, where Bangkok Lounge sings every night, and spreads out across the bridges: West Ashley's neighborhood bars, North Charleston's midweek nights, beach bars on Folly and the Isle of Palms, and a busy weekend in Summerville. Wednesday has the most choice; Sunday has the least.

King Street is the spine. Bangkok Lounge, upstairs on King, has karaoke every night from 6pm, and Burns Alley, right across the street, adds Wednesday and Thursday. Further up King, Silver Dollar takes Wednesday and Sugey's takes Monday.

Then cross a bridge. Tin Roof in West Ashley is the Sunday party, Loggerhead's Beach Grill on Folly Beach mixes live music and karaoke through the week, and Summerville fills Friday and Saturday with HDs Bar and Grill, Shenanigans Bar & Grill and more.

Wednesday is the big one

Wednesday is the night with options everywhere. Downtown has Bangkok Lounge, Burns Alley and Silver Dollar. North Charleston has The Bearded Ax early and Whiskey Run Sports Bar & Grill late.
