Karaoke in Kansas City, MO

The Cigar Box in the Crossroads hands the room a mic four nights a week, and Thursday is when the rest of the metro joins in — more venues sing that night than any other. For a group that wants its own room, there are private suites in Westport that run deep into Friday and Saturday nights.

Three venues do the heavy lifting. Arthur's Lounge up in the Northland runs karaoke Tuesday through Saturday, the widest week in the metro. The Cigar Box holds the Crossroads Wednesday through Saturday. And OffKey Karaoke Lounge & Suites in Westport rents private rooms those same four nights, running latest on Friday and Saturday.

Westport actually appears twice on this page — Westport Flea Market Bar & Grill keeps its Saturdays for karaoke, a short walk from OffKey's suites. The ring towns carry the rest: Independence twice over, Merriam and Shawnee across the state line, and single nights in Blue Springs, Kearney, Belton and Leavenworth.

Thursday is the night

No other day comes close. Alongside Arthur's, OffKey, The Cigar Box and Missie B's, Thursday brings out the single-nighters: Antioch Bar & Grill in the Northland, The Pour House Bar & Grill in Shawnee, and The Kansas City Juke House by the 18th & Vine Jazz District, which folds its karaoke into a Thursday game night.

Rhinestone Cowgirls in Independence and Hurricane Allie's Bar And Grill in Merriam make nine — and both come back on Saturday, for anyone who can't make the weeknight.

The rest of the week, town by town

Monday belongs to Score Sports Bar & Grill in Independence — an early-evening session that wraps up before the late news, which somebody out there has been waiting for. Wednesday splits between The Limit Pub & Grub in South Kansas City and, down in Belton, the excellently named Jaudon Ghost Bar.

Friday adds Fat Boyz Bar & Grill in Kearney, and Hurricane Allie's keeps going through the weekend. Saturday is the broad one: Westport Flea Market takes it in the city, Lunar Bowl takes it in Blue Springs, Tom's Country Stampede in Leavenworth, and Rhinestone Cowgirls holds Independence. Sunday, on our confirmed list, is the metro's rest day.
