Karaoke inTampa
The Grand Karaoke Lounge rents rooms from eleven in the morning until three the next, seven days a week. Around it the bay wraps the water — eleven venues on the Tampa side, twenty-odd across the bridges in Pinellas, nearly all of them handing the mic to the room.

This guide walks the standouts. The full Tampa map lives in the KaraokeList app — free, kept current by the singers who use it.
This is a two-shore scene, and both shores hold up their end. The Tampa side runs from Ybor City up through Temple Terrace and out to Riverview; cross the bay and Pinellas answers with Clearwater, Dunedin, Largo, Gulfport, Tarpon Springs and the St Petersburg pair. The karaoke lives wherever the neighbourhood bars are, which here includes a tiki bar at the Sponge Docks and the lounge at a Dunedin bowling alley.
Three venues rent private rooms: The Grand Karaoke Lounge and Tampa Karaoke VIP on Tampa's north side, and Good Fortune in downtown St Petersburg. The Grand alone answers most plans, open 11am to 3am without a day off. And for the bar version, Sharks in Largo sings nightly.

The Tampa side

We keep tabs on 63 karaoke spots in and around Tampa — this guide writes up 27. The rest are on the map in the app, next to the part that matters: what you’ll sing when the book comes around.
Beaches, docks and lanes
Clearwater Beach sings on the sand-adjacent streets: Sandcastle Arcade Bar & Grill on South Gulfview takes Thursdays and Fridays at 9pm, and Karaoke By GlenZ sets up at Toucans Bar & Grill on Mandalay Avenue every Friday, 8:30 to 12:30. Up the coast in Tarpon Springs, the Sawgrass Tiki Bar at the historic Sponge Docks starts Fridays at 8:30pm and sings Saturdays too.
Dunedin fits three venues into one small town: Bauser's on Monday and Wednesday, the lounge at Dunedin Lanes — yes, the bowling alley — on Friday and Saturday, and Blur Nightclub on Main Street, Thursdays from 9 to midnight.
North of the river, east of town
Temple Terrace runs deep for its size: Uncle Fats Tavern sings Wednesday through Saturday, and Gaspars Patio Bar & Grille on 56th Street takes Friday and Saturday from 9pm. Closer in, Bobalouie's Grill & Sports Garden on Bearss Avenue calls itself Tampa's official Friday and Saturday night karaoke spot, and Tampa Tap Room on Dale Mabry holds Saturdays from 10pm.
Out east in Riverview, CJ's Saloon runs Thursdays at 10pm with a two-drink minimum, plus Tuesdays and alternating Fridays and Saturdays, and the Beer Shed on McMullen Loop sings Wednesday, Friday and Sunday from 8pm.
The fine print
Mugs Sports Bar & Grill and the patio at mugs share the same address on Icot Boulevard in Clearwater, and the same host — karaoke with Antonio, Mondays and Thursdays, in what the patio's listing calls one of the largest karaoke rooms in Florida.
Two more quirks worth knowing before you drive: Pepperz Nightclub in Gulfport runs Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday — and every other Friday. And The Def Club in Pinellas Park bills its Friday night as Signing Karaoke.
