Karaoke in New York, NY
Ten karaoke venues stand on one block of West 32nd Street, most of them upstairs behind a lift. And that is only one district of three — Koreatown, the East Village, Queens — so picking yours settles almost everything about the night.

The city's karaoke divides cleanly, and each part is its own kind of pleasure. Koreatown stacks private rooms on top of each other on a single block of West 32nd Street, and the night runs into the small hours as a matter of routine. The East Village and Lower East Side do bars with a stage and a queue. Queens, along Northern Boulevard and Broadway, is Koreatown's idea with more room, lower prices and even longer nights.
Pick the district first. Everything else — whether you book, what it costs, how late you are out — follows from that choice rather than from which venue you land on.

Koreatown: ten karaoke venues on one block
One block of West 32nd Street has ten confirmed karaoke venues on it. Almost none of them are at street level — they are on the third, fourth, sixth, seventh, eleventh floors, behind a lift and a sign. If you have walked down it and seen nothing, that is why. These four are the ones worth knowing first.
-
5 Bar Karaoke & Lounge
KoreatownOpen every day, and on Friday and Saturday one of the last two rooms on the block to close — though Flushing goes later still.
5 Bar Karaoke & Lounge runs karaoke every night.
-
Anytime Karaoke
KoreatownThe other last-to-close room on the block, across the street, open every day. Between these two, the block does not really close.
Anytime Karaoke runs karaoke every night.
-
Karaoke City
KoreatownOpens in the early afternoon, Monday to Saturday, and runs deep into the night — the answer for an afternoon that has gone unexpectedly sideways.
Karaoke City runs karaoke Monday to Saturday.
-
Space Karaoke
KoreatownEleven floors up, open seven days and deep into the night. Worth it for the lift ride and the view of 32nd Street on the way down.
Space Karaoke runs karaoke every night.

If you want a stage and a queue
Downtown and midtown, karaoke mostly means an ordinary bar that hands you a microphone in front of everybody. No booking, no hourly rate, and the wait is the price you pay.
-
Arlene's Grocery
Lower East SideMondays only, and not really karaoke: it is rock-and-roll karaoke backed by a full house band. You are not singing over a track, you are fronting a band in front of a room. Not the place to try this for the first time.
Arlene's Grocery runs karaoke Monday.
-
Iggy's
Upper East SideKaraoke every single day, well into the night. The steadiest answer in the city — there is no night of the week where this is closed.
Iggy's runs karaoke every night.
-
Winnie's Bar
ChinatownTuesday through Sunday, and it keeps going as long as Koreatown does. Chinatown rather than Koreatown, and a completely different room from anything on 32nd Street.
Winnie's Bar runs karaoke Sunday and Tuesday to Saturday.
-
Sid Gold's Request Room
ChelseaSix nights a week, Monday to Saturday, with an earlier start on Thursday and Friday. The rare midtown-ish open mic that starts early enough to be a whole evening.
Sid Gold's Request Room runs karaoke Monday to Saturday.
The whole lineup is below.
Every confirmed bar in and around New York is listed further down, by neighborhood. The KaraokeList app keeps it current and shows who’s singing tonight, along with the fun part: what you’ll sing.
St Marks Place, and the rest of the East Village
Sing Sing Karaoke and St. Marks Karaoke face each other across the same short street, both running rooms seven nights a week, deep into the night. One of the few places you can price-check karaoke by crossing the road.
The rest of the neighborhood fans out from there. Sing Sing Ave A opens in the afternoon later in the week and in the evening the rest of it, and keeps going just as long. On the Lower East Side, Baby Grand runs deepest into the night Thursday through Saturday, and Karaoke Boho Orchard opens in the afternoon at weekends. And on Tuesday nights only, Pianos runs a karaoke night that starts when most others are winding down.
Queens: the other Koreatown
Northern Boulevard in Flushing does the same thing 32nd Street does, and stays open even longer. 101 KTV is open from the afternoon deep into the night, every day of the week. Singing Karoke Club runs Sunday through Tuesday and Thursday through Saturday, going longest on Friday and Saturday.
Further west in Jackson Heights, Uptop New York opens early in the day on Saturday and Sunday and runs into the small hours. If the plan is a long day rather than a late night, Queens is where that is actually possible.
Nights that are their own thing
The Stonewall Inn in the West Village runs two: Fridays with no cover, and an early-evening Thursday downstairs in the Eight Ball Lounge alongside the pool tables.
Cornerstone Tavern runs five nights, and the Friday and Saturday sessions do not start until most karaoke nights are winding down — the rare karaoke night you can arrive at after something else has already ended. Over in Williamsburg, Chino Grande goes Wednesday through Saturday.

Questions
Where is the karaoke district in New York?
West 32nd Street in Koreatown. There are ten confirmed karaoke venues on that one block, nearly all of them on upper floors rather than at street level, and most run private rooms deep into the night. Queens has a second concentration along Northern Boulevard in Flushing, and the East Village has a cluster around St Marks Place.
How late does karaoke go in New York?
Later than almost anywhere. Koreatown, the East Village rooms and Flushing all keep going into the small hours as a matter of routine, and 5 Bar Karaoke and Anytime Karaoke, both on West 32nd Street, stay open longest of all on Friday and Saturday nights. The KaraokeList app has each venue's hours.
Can you do karaoke in New York without singing in front of strangers?
Yes, plenty. Private rooms rented by the hour are the whole of Koreatown, most of Flushing, and both St Marks Place venues. Sign-up-and-sing bars make up the rest of the list, from Manhattan and Brooklyn out to Jersey City.
Where can I do karaoke in New York tonight?
Iggy's on the Upper East Side runs karaoke every day of the week. In Koreatown, 5 Bar, Anytime Karaoke and Space Karaoke are all open seven days, and 101 KTV in Flushing opens its rooms every afternoon. A weeknight is no obstacle in this city — though nights change, so check before you go.
Do I need to book a karaoke room in New York?
For a Friday or Saturday in Koreatown, yes — ten venues on one block does not mean ten venues with space. Weeknights you can usually walk in. Open-mic bars never take bookings; you turn up and put your name down.
Is this every karaoke bar in New York?
Every bar we've confirmed is on this page, listed by neighborhood with the nights each one runs. The KaraokeList app keeps the list current and shows which bars are singing on the night you go.
