Along three blocks of Bourbon Street sit four confirmed places to sing. Cat's Meow runs karaoke whenever the doors are open, every day. Oz New Orleans hands Monday night to Lazy Susan Karaoke. Sunday adds Bourbon Pub & Parade and Cafe Lafitte In Exile, so the street holds three stages at once.
The rest of the metro is quieter and steadier. Kajun's Pub on Saint Claude Avenue runs karaoke every day of the week. Metairie keeps four neighborhood bars in rotation, Kenner adds a four-night week at KJ's Place, and Poseidon on Saint Charles Avenue is the private-room option, open on Friday and Saturday nights.

Karaoke with a haircut
The Quarter and its neighbors keep two weekly one-offs worth planning around. Karaoke Forever - NOLA runs Hairaoke every Tuesday in St. Roch — karaoke and haircuts, billed together, and we are not going to pretend that combination needs improving.
Sing Your Heart Out Karaoke takes Thursdays, and calls itself the place to be in the French Quarter on a Thursday night. Between the two of them, the early week has personality the weekend can't match.
The Metairie rotation
Metairie's four bars split the week rather than compete for it. Pair of Dice takes Wednesday and Saturday. 22nd Street Bar keeps its karaoke to the weekends. Blue Ghost Tavern runs Saturdays. Spotlight holds Thursday, Saturday and Sunday.
Just across the parish line, The Pour House Saloon in Jefferson spreads itself across three nights: karaoke on Tuesdays, an open jam on Wednesdays, and a hosted karaoke session on Fridays. Saturday is the pile-up — Pair of Dice, 22nd Street, Blue Ghost and Spotlight all run it — so a midweek visit gets you more of the songbook to yourself.
