Karaoke inIndianapolis
Karaoke until 3am, six nights a week, at Colonial Tavern on Madison Avenue — or a private room from two in the afternoon at Chokhlei on US 31, Monday included. Indianapolis covers both extremes, and two of the bars in between make a point of being free.

This guide walks the standouts. The full Indianapolis map lives in the KaraokeList app — free, kept current by the singers who use it.
The city keeps one every-night room and two rent-by-the-hour options, which is a useful spread. Colonial Tavern sings Tuesday through Sunday until 3am. Maru Studio on Pendleton Pike rents private rooms Wednesday through Sunday from 5pm. Chokhlei Restaurant and Karaoke on US 31 South opens its rooms at 2pm and, alone on this page, runs Mondays.
Around them sits a bar circuit with a habit of being free. On The Rocks on Indiana 36 charges nothing for its karaoke, Wednesday to Saturday from 8pm, and Weebles Bar & Grill on Shadeland Avenue keeps admission free three nights a week. Downtown, Wild Beaver Saloon holds Thursday through Saturday on East Maryland Street.

A good chunk of the Indianapolis week is hosted by somebody in particular. Wednesdays at Sam's Silver Circle on Fletcher Avenue belong to Billy Roe from 9pm. Fridays in Danville, The Kickstand Bar & Grill hands the night to DJ Huff at 9:30.
The rest of the single-night map: Living Room Lounge on North Pennsylvania takes Friday, Rockstar Karaoke @ Metro covers Tuesday and Thursday on Massachusetts Avenue, and BoJak's Bar & Grille in Franklin starts its Thursdays late, at 10pm.
