Karaoke inSacramento

Two of Sacramento's KTV lounges open at eleven in the morning and do not stop until 2am. That is the south side. Midtown does the bar version, sign-up sheet and all, and does it every night of the week.

The south-side KTV corridor is the part visitors miss. Stockton Boulevard, Freeport Boulevard and Florin Road carry most of the city's private-room karaoke, and the hours are the generous part: two of these lounges open at 11am and run to 2am, a fifteen-hour singing day, every day.

Midtown is the other circuit: open-mic bars, no booking, mostly no cover, and Pine Cove Tavern running seven nights a week. Sacramento is also genuinely kind to the early crowd — a couple of its karaoke nights are finished by 10pm, on purpose, which is rarer than it should be.

4 confirmed venues

The south-side KTV lounges

Private rooms by the hour, mostly along Stockton and Freeport. All four of these run seven nights a week.

  • Star KTV Lounge

    4543 Freeport Blvd · South Sacramento

    11am to 2am, daily. Rooms with Cantonese and Mandarin songbooks alongside the usual. Fifteen hours a day, every day.

  • Home & Bar

    6930 65th St, Ste 117 · South Sacramento

    The other 11am-to-2am room. Between this and Star KTV, there is no hour of the afternoon Sacramento cannot accommodate.

  • Grand Hotpot Lounge

    2346 Florin Rd · South Sacramento

    All-you-can-eat hotpot and private karaoke rooms, seven days. Built for large groups, and the only place here where dinner and the singing are the same booking.

  • 520 KTV Cafe

    6833 Stockton Blvd, Suite 485 · South Sacramento

    Seven nights, 7pm to 2am, on the Stockton Boulevard stretch. Straightforward private rooms and a large songbook.

4 confirmed venues

Midtown and the bar circuit

Sign up, wait, sing to the room. These are the ones that run often enough to rely on.

  • Pine Cove Tavern

    509 29th St · Midtown

    Seven nights a week — 9pm Sunday to Thursday, 8pm on Friday and Saturday, through to 1am. The city's most dependable open mic.

  • Mother Lode

    1424 Silica Ave · North Sacramento

    Wednesday through Sunday from 8pm. Five nights, which outside Pine Cove is the widest run in the city.

  • On The Y

    670 Fulton Ave · Arden-Arcade

    Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday from 9pm, with no cover charge. A long-running room bar rather than a restaurant with a machine.

  • The Shop Midtown

    1720 J St · Midtown

    Mondays only, and 7pm to 10pm — a karaoke night that is finished before most others have started. Good if you have work in the morning.

Karaoke before dark

Sacramento is unusually accommodating if you do not want to be out until 2am. Star KTV Lounge and Home & Bar both open at 11am, so an afternoon room is genuinely available seven days a week.

At the other end of the evening, The Shop Midtown runs 7pm to 10pm on Mondays and Brookside Restaurant and Bar on Horn Road does Wednesdays from 6:30pm to 9:30pm — occasionally to 10pm if the room is busy enough to justify it. Both are over before the midtown bars have really started.

The rest of the week

The remaining Sacramento karaoke is spread thin across the week, which means most nights have something within a short drive.

Firefly Lounge on Fulton runs Sunday and Tuesday through Thursday. Maple Room on Arden Way does Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, 9:30pm to 1:30am. Best Karaoke Bar & Restaurant on Governors Circle runs Wednesday to Sunday from 5pm, and Blue Moon Cafe on Freeport starts at 10pm on Thursdays with a two-drink minimum.

For a single night: Capitol Garage on K Street runs Thursdays at 8:30pm with Spectra, Faces does Mondays and a Thursday with free admission, and Streets Pub and Grub takes Wednesday and Friday at 9pm.
