Hankering to escape the well-worn path of typical things to do in Brisbane? The city’s karaoke scene invites you to a place where inhibitions melt away, and songbirds reign supreme.
Under the veil of moonlight, there’s a world of playful energy and carefree fun. You’re not just stepping into a room or bar — you’re taking the stage. Intimate hideaways, polished lounges, and dive bars with stages showcase their unique twists on karaoke capers.
Brisbane’s international vibe makes for an endless selection of venues and songbooks. One night, you find yourself in an adorable Korean booth singing K-pop, and on another, you’re giving your best Whitney Houston impression in a themed room.
No one expects perfection. Just let go of your fears and cheer your mates on when it’s their turn. In this performance, you’re the star and the audience. Whether your voice soars with operatic flair or wobbles with endearing magnetism, it’s time to shine at karaoke in Brisbane.

Exposed brick, worn leather seats, and timber floors make for an old-timey, comfy, familiar pub aesthetic. Beer signs and flickering TV screens bring the nostalgia to life.
