Karaoke in Riverside, CA
The Inland Empire's karaoke hangs on two every-night bars — Law's on Indiana Avenue in Riverside and Liam's Irish Pub in Colton — and a Thursday as big as its Friday. The Hideaway on Mission Inn Avenue turns Tuesday into a competition, Lulu's Hideout in San Bernardino runs to 2am, and Karaoke Kubo in Redlands has the private rooms.

Two bars never take a night off. Law's Restaurant & Bar on Indiana Avenue runs karaoke every single night from 7:30pm to midnight, and Liam's Irish Pub in Colton starts at 8:30 every night. Between them, there is no evening in the Inland Empire without a microphone somewhere.
The rest of Riverside picks its moments. The Hideaway Lounge on Mission Inn Avenue turns Tuesday into a competition — sign up at 7, songs at 8. VIP Nightclub & Restaurant on Merrill Avenue sings Wednesday and Sunday from 8, and Lake Alice Trading Co. on University Avenue keeps a Thursday that one reviewer praises for its extensive song list.

Thursday, the other Friday
The Inland Empire's Thursday is as big as its Friday: eleven confirmed venues sing on each. Thursday gets Lake Alice in Riverside, 3rd Base in Upland and Slam Dunk in Norco, which carries on through Saturday; Friday answers with Empire Bowl and Mariscos Apatzingan Bar & Grill in Fontana, whose live karaoke returns on Sunday.
Up the mountain, The Bear Claw in Crestline sings Thursday, Friday and Sunday. At the other end of the metro, The Hook-Up in Pomona takes Wednesday, and in Sun City, The Ponderosa runs a Sunday session from 7 to 9 with Randy Lester — the earliest finish on this page.
Sunday outnumbers Saturday
Saturday is not the peak here. Eight venues sing on it, one fewer than on Sunday. Sunday starts early at Karaoke Kubo, whose rooms open at 3pm, and at the Ponderosa in Sun City, which runs 7 to 9.
Then the evening shift: VIP Nightclub's Sunday Social Karaoke from 8 to 11, Spectators in Ontario at 8:30, Two Frogs in Upland, Mariscos in Fontana and the Bear Claw up in Crestline — with Law's and Liam's, as always, open too.
