Karaoke in Richmond, VA
Richmond does its singing on school nights. Tuesday is the crowded one — nine of the twenty-two venues on this page run it — and Lakeside Tavern sings Monday to Friday, then takes the weekend off. For everything else there is Benny's Tavern in Colonial Heights, which has karaoke every night of the week.

The shape of karaoke here is a weeknight shape. Tuesday brings a country store in Glen Allen, a grill in Henrico's West End and a late start at Sticky Rice RVA in the Fan. Wednesday is nearly as busy — the Museum District, the Fan, the West End and the Northside all have a night running. The weekend, by contrast, belongs to a short list.
Two venues anchor everything. Benny's Tavern in Colonial Heights runs karaoke seven nights a week, and Caddy's Karaoke Bar & Grill in Midlothian — a bar with karaoke in its name — covers Tuesday through Saturday, with Singo warming up the room on Wednesdays.

Wednesday's one-night club
Bandito's Burrito Lounge in the Museum District takes Wednesday. Helen's Restaurant in the Fan takes the same night, as do Breakers Sports Grille in Henrico and The Director's Lounge on the Northside — four single-night venues, and every one of them chose Wednesday.
Add Caddy's, Benny's and Lakeside Tavern, all running their standing nights, and Wednesday reaches seven of the twenty-two venues on this page. Only Tuesday and Thursday reach more.
Monday and Tuesday, solved
Monday belongs to Richmond Billiards Association in North Chesterfield, where Monday Night Karaoke gets going early enough for a work night. Benny's, Lakeside Tavern and Buddy's Place round out the night.
Tuesday is stranger and better. Aw Shucks Country Store in Glen Allen — yes, a country store — runs open mic and then karaoke early in the evening. Daddio's Bar & Grille in the West End picks it up after dinner. Then Sticky Rice takes the late shift, so a determined Tuesday can run from dinner to closing time without repeating a venue.
What the weekend holds
Friday and Saturday run through Benny's and Caddy's, plus My Noodle & Bar, which sings both nights.
Sunday goes south of the river to Crafty Crab Richmond Southside, alongside Benny's. Thursday means Barcode downtown, and out in Manquin, Another Round or 2 Bar and Grill keeps a weekly Thursday karaoke night for the far side of the metro.
