This guide walks the standouts. The full Raleigh map lives in the KaraokeList app — free, kept current by the singers who use it.
Raleigh has no seven-night bar on our confirmed list; it keeps a rota instead. Monday is free karaoke at Champions Bars on Avent Ferry Road, near NC State. Tuesday belongs to Hargett Street, where Halftime Lounge sings every week and Flex Nightclub & Bar runs a theme night to 2am. Wednesday adds Fox & Hound at North Hills, after 10pm.
The weekend is thinner than you would guess: The Brickhouse on Hillsborough Street takes Fridays from 9pm to 1am, Uptown Dogs on New Bern Avenue sings on the first and third Friday, and Champions' Plaza West location holds Saturdays. The rest of the Triangle fills the gaps — Durham, Chapel Hill and Carrboro between them cover every weeknight, Thursday included.

Thursday means driving west
Raleigh proper has no confirmed Thursday karaoke, which is the odd gap in its week. The fix is Durham or Carrboro. Bralie's Sports Bar in Durham runs karaoke after its Thursday music bingo, Karaoke at The Station in Carrboro has Empress Kerisha hosting, and k-mix keeps its rooms open, as it does every night except Sunday.
The late weeknights are out west, too. Goodfellows on Franklin Street in Chapel Hill goes until 2am on Tuesday and Wednesday, and The Station holds its Tuesday until 1. In Raleigh, only Flex matches that 2am close on record — on its Tuesday, its Wednesday and its Sunday.
Two Champions, and a Friday to check
Champions Bars runs karaoke at two Raleigh locations, on opposite ends of the week. The NC State bar on Avent Ferry Road takes Monday, free. Champions Bars at Plaza West on Western Boulevard holds Saturdays.
Uptown Dogs on New Bern Avenue keeps the most particular schedule in the city: karaoke on the first and third Friday of the month, 7 to 11pm. Check the calendar before you go; on the other Fridays, The Brickhouse on Hillsborough Street has the night from 9.
