One private-room house anchors the week: Cobra Lounge in Bloomfield runs Sunday to Thursday — and around it, most of the metro's thirty-four confirmed venues keep one or two nights each, with Bob's Garage in Blawnox singing four.
The appointment most of the city keeps is Thursday: fifteen of the thirty-four run karaoke that night, from the South Side to the North Hills. And the neighborhood bars name their nights with real affection — a Cappyoke, a Bareoke, karaoke just past the bowling lanes.

Bareoke, Cappyoke, and lane 14
Pittsburgh names its nights. Cappy's Cafe in Shadyside runs #Cappyoke on Fridays. Tennyson Lodge in Bethel Park offers Bareoke on Wednesday or Friday nights, and keeps it going late. Cals Cantina in McKeesport holds a Thursday karaoke plus a Tuesday night it calls TUTU karaoke.
And Arsenal Lanes in Lawrenceville reserves Fridays for karaoke, with an all-you-can-bowl special and the singing running just beyond lane 14.
Friday, in the neighborhoods
Stinky's in Lawrenceville sings every Friday. Obey House Tavern in the West End gives Friday to karaoke and Saturday to local bands, and out at Natrona Heights the Saxon Inn makes the same split — karaoke Friday, live music Saturday. McMinn's Pub & Grille in Castle Shannon runs every other Friday, which is worth checking before you drive, and Friday is also the night at the Filipino American Club of Ambridge, up the Ohio.
The exception to the late-night rule is Green Pepper in Squirrel Hill, whose karaoke lounge runs Friday and Saturday as an early-evening session — the earliest finish in this guide, and a karaoke night you can sing your heart out at and still be home at a sensible hour.
The rest of the week
Wednesdays have their own small circuit: The Green Room at Station Square runs Wednesday and Sunday, Kendrew's Lounge in Aliquippa takes Wednesdays, and Roy's By The Tracks in Finleyville covers Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday.
Tuesdays are thinner but real — Señor Frogs sits a few blocks from the Apple Inn in the South Hills, which also sings that night. Saturday has Nico's Recovery Room. And Sunday doubles back to Rochester Inn in the North Hills, which pairs it with Thursday.
