Detroit sings in a ring. Warren, Taylor, Hazel Park and Westland hold three confirmed venues each, and the map keeps going — Wyandotte down the river, Clinton Township up Gratiot, Ferndale and Royal Oak along Woodward. The bars that never skip a night are all suburban: Cavill's in Taylor, Eddies in Hazel Park, and the Round Table at Sterling Heights' Wellington Pub, which runs karaoke with a DJ seven days a week.
The city itself keeps nine confirmed venues, and they range widely: Sid Gold's Request Room downtown on Broadway, a Saturday-night standby in Midtown, and a west-side saloon that takes Wednesdays.

The lanes sing too
Three of the metro's confirmed karaoke venues are bowling alleys. Imperial Lanes in Clinton Township runs it Wednesday through Saturday, and keeps going later than plenty of ordinary bars here. Vision Lanes in Westland takes Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights in its All Star Grille and Music Bar.
Ford Lanes on Van Born Road rounds out the set with Friday night karaoke. That makes three bowling alleys with a standing karaoke night.
Corridor by corridor
Northeast, Warren backs up Tipsy McStaggers with Johnny B Good's on Groesbeck, Fridays and Saturdays. Rockstarz Bar in Garden City covers the west with five nights, Tuesday through Saturday. Chatters in Westland runs five nights — including Sunday, which most of the metro takes off.
Along Woodward, Ferndale offers a choice of temperaments: Sneakers Pub, a self-described dive bar with karaoke, and Soho, which gives Sunday night to the singers. In Hazel Park, Max Dugan's starts its Thursday night early — sharp, by its own insistence — well before almost anyone else opens the book.
Downriver belongs to Saturday, and Speedboat Bar & Grill on Biddle Avenue in Wyandotte takes it. Out in Livonia, O'Malley's does Friday and Saturday with no cover — the one bar here that advertises the fact.
The rooms with a regular crowd
Detroit karaoke is a neighborhood habit, and plenty of rooms have a crowd that knows every regular's song. The Cloverleaf in Southgate sings Thursday through Saturday. Thursday belongs to Big League Brews in Taylor and Tailgators on Van Born Road. In Westland, Stacyoke is karaoke by name, on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
And then there is Joe T's Karaoke, which brings an afternoon session to the Northville Community Center on the third Tuesday of the month. Daytime karaoke, at the community center, once a month.
