Does anyone know a good karaoke bar in town? I lived in SE Asia for 6 years where most places you go have it so grew accustomed to and then in love with it! My wife is Filipino and is even more into it than me but for one reason or another we haven’t been specifically for karaoke (as parents of 3 we don’t go out often so we’ll either go out with friends who aren’t into it or for a meal date). Obviously no chance to go for now but we’d be made up to celebrate exiting lockdown with a singsong that isn’t us 2 and YouTube

My daughters mate and her family hire a room for karaoke in MBox in Renshaw Street. Doubt it will be open though.

[Jshooters]

Cheers mate. Was hoping for more of an open night rather than a private room but it’s good to know that’s available

Depending how you view places but Woodys is a karaoke bar with cheap ale and a laugh but it depends if you want upmarket.

Not fussy at all mate you should see some of the places we sang at in Asia!

Nice one, just googled it so will know where to go when things open up again.

Cheers

Mbox is pretty decent, been there loads of times with groups of mates. They have private rooms but they did used to have a bigger open room downstairs as well with anyone in.

The crocodile is the one you want.

Woodys also has a similar style of karaoke on but clientele a little more 'interesting'.

Nice one mate, just had a look on google images and it looks ideal

Pina Colada on draught.

Woodys you have one or 2 very drunk men or women hogging the mic haha. It's a bit rough and the ale is poor but I would never slag it off too much!

The croc is well-organised but not too serious so you get a wide range of abilities on the little stage. God I miss town!

Don't listen to them, Woody's is hilarious. Go to Cooper's too.

Cooper's is like a throwback to One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, I was in there once with a few mates and a lad dressed in a firefighters uniform (not the helmet and tunic, but the shirt and kecks) absolutely nailed that Labi Siffre song on the karaoke, he was as good as a pro. I said "you guys do a cracking job and you're a boss singer, let me buy you a short" and he took it.
Fook me wasn't he on the front of the Echo a few weeks later as some Walter Mitty type who pretends he was a firefighter, bus driver, copper, the loon had stole a bus and collected fares off passengers hahah!!!

I was only half joking about going in there. Everyone should experience it. Proper nutty little pub with the regulars to match.

Haha sometimes I’m the pissed (friendly) twat hogging  the mic!

Will defo try The Croc in the first instance though, when possible.

Thanks again to everyone for the tips

Whenever I've been in Cooper's there's a lad on the karaoke with a full Sinatra repetoire. Bit like being in Goodfellas.

Baltic Fleet - Railway? - x - Coopers - x - Dr Duncan's

[Thepooloflife]

Top right looks more like the 'Big House' to me ? Surely not the 'Ship & Mitre' ?!!      Bottom row, to left of S&M is that Shenanigan's - and to right of S&M could be Pogue Mahone.

[Medellin]

Will allow a little bit of time to post what I think the anwers are in case anyone else wants a go.

[Jshooters]

Bottom left is the Philharmonic

[gregor]

Yeah bottom left defo the Philharmonic, can't believe I couldn't see that.

Don't listen to them, Woody's is hilarious. Go to Cooper's too.

Woody's can be a laugh if you go in the week, weekends though it's full of beaked up aggro wools.

Boss little quiz that! 😎👍

[AlphaDelta]

Do any of our esteemed drinkers know anywhere around Castle Street where I can pre-book for afternoon beers and food? I don't fancy this 'just walk in' because everywhere will be rammed.

What sort of food?

El Negro has extended their outside space in Exchange Flags but I didn’t think it was all that good (loads of others rave though).

Castle St itself you need the side that Ginos is on as that’s where the sun is. So you’ve got Ginos, Rudys and Castle St Townhouse. I’ve eaten at all 3 a few times and they’re all pretty good to be honest.

Live in the centre, can’t say I’ve ever experienced that.

Then again it might be down to your over extravagant use of full stops. They must think you’re rolling in it throwing them around like that.

[johnj147]

Honestly man .it's true sorry can't see the full stops my eyes are that bad these days.)

[CraigDS]

Nah, I go out a lot in town and it’s no worse than anywhere else. In fact in my experience at least it’s better because I’ve never been propositioned like that here, but have in quite a few other places.

[AlphaDelta]

I had the pleasure of going back in my beloved Cross Keys after work last night, the pleasure of sitting inside a pub, not ordering all sorts of food and being allowed to sit as long as you wanted. I nearly cried haha

Perhaps the ladies in question were going through their menstrual cycle?
