Karaoke inProvidence
Rhode Island being Rhode Island, the karaoke circuit crosses a state line: seventeen confirmed venues from a Newport wharf to a pair of bars in Medway, Massachusetts. The two seven-night rooms bracket the bay, Warwick doubles up on a single road, and Friday in Pawtucket starts at four in the afternoon.

This guide walks the standouts. The full Providence map lives in the KaraokeList app — free, kept current by the singers who use it.
Only two venues in this metro sing all seven nights, and neither is in Providence proper. The Midway bar at the Clarke Cooke House fires up its karaoke system daily at 9pm on a Newport wharf, and Pawtucket Patriot Bar & Grill starts at 8:30 every night — then livestreams the session besides. Downtown holds its own with The Boombox on Fountain Street, five nights from 5pm.
The rest is a ring of one- and two-night bars, and the ring is wider than the state. Warwick keeps two karaoke rooms on West Shore Road alone. Pawtucket adds a Friday session that runs at happy hour and is done by 7pm. And the circuit reaches into Massachusetts, where the town of Medway holds two venues by itself.

We keep tabs on 29 karaoke spots in and around Providence — this guide writes up 17. The rest are on the map in the app, next to the part that matters: what you’ll sing when the book comes around.
North of the city
Pawtucket's other two venues split the week. Rock's on Prospect takes Thursdays, and Celtic Pub on Broadway runs Happy Hour Karaoke on Fridays, 4 to 7pm, with DJ Richard Martin — start singing in daylight, home by eight. Hidden Talent Karaoke in Cumberland keeps Saturday early too, 7 to 10pm on Broad Street.
Out in the northwest corner, Pascoag Cafe books its week by host: Rob Ashton every Thursday at 8, SOUNDS GOOD Entertainment every Saturday at 8:30.
Johnston, and over the line
Johnston splits between Mr Bigg's Saloon, karaoke every Friday and Saturday on Atwood Avenue, and Strings Bar & Grill, which gives Tuesday to karaoke, Wednesday to an open mic and Thursday to a band jam — three different ways to hold a microphone on three consecutive nights.
Massachusetts carries the far end of the circuit. Medway alone has two: Medway Lotus on Friday and Saturday nights, Medway Cafe on Saturdays. And Singapore Chinese Restaurant & Bar in Attleboro takes Fridays on Pleasant Street.
