The city keeps one six-night bar and one rent-by-the-hour studio, which is a useful spread. Colonial Tavern sings Tuesday through Sunday, and keeps singing after the rest of the city has gone home. Maru Studio on Pendleton Pike rents private rooms Wednesday through Sunday.
Around them sits a bar circuit with a habit of being free. On The Rocks in Avon charges nothing for its karaoke, Wednesday to Saturday, 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.

One night, done properly

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 after most bars are already warm.
