Karaoke inNashville
Ms. Kelli's in Printers Alley is a karaoke club before it is anything else — no cover, 21 and up, open to 3am every night of the week. That sets the pattern: twenty confirmed venues across the metro and nearly all of them open mic, from a third-floor room at 421 Broadway to a pianist on Gallatin Pike taking requests six nights a week.

This guide walks the standouts. The full Nashville map lives in the KaraokeList app — free, kept current by the singers who use it.
Nashville sings to the room. Nothing on the confirmed list here is a rent-by-the-hour box; the closest the city comes is a pair of bars offering both formats. Downtown gives you three ways in — AJ's Good Time Bar runs karaoke nightly on its third floor at 421 Broadway, Wild Beaver Saloon on Commerce Street runs it whenever the doors are open, and Ms. Kelli's holds Printers Alley until 3am, seven nights.
Cross the river and Woodland Street carries two on its own: The Lipstick Lounge, which sings every night, and Lowbar Nashville, which takes Friday and Saturday to 3am. Up Gallatin Pike, Sid Gold's Request Room swaps the backing track for a live pianist. The ring towns hold the rest — Franklin, Gallatin, Hermitage, Antioch and Smyrna all have confirmed nights, and one of them sings weekdays only.

Happy Does on Division Street splits its week three ways: Wednesday at 8, Sunday at 8, and Thursday at 8:30 once trivia has cleared the stage. And Twin Kegs II on Hermitage Avenue keeps Friday for Karaoke With Tha King — hosted, the bar says, by their very own Elvis.
The ring towns
Franklin sings nightly. The Whiskey Room Live on Galleria Boulevard stages live music or karaoke seven nights a week, and Dolan's Deli & Bar on Carothers Parkway adds a Saturday night karaoke fest. Gallatin runs against the grain: Last Call Bar & Grill does its karaoke Monday through Friday — weekdays only — then hands the weekend back.
South and east of the city, Shooters in Hermitage stacks the week's end with Thursday Night Karaoke, Fireball Friday and Saturday Night Karaoke. The Thirsty Turtle in Antioch runs Friday through Sunday, family and friends welcome at the weekend sessions. And The Front Street Pub in Smyrna gives Friday to karaoke, then follows Saturday's live acoustic set with more of it.
