Austin is the live music capital of the world, after all, and that title applies to the city’s karaoke bars, too. It’s where anyone can take the leap from being a spectator to a singer (sometimes with the aid of a little liquid courage, too, if necessary).

Austin has plenty of karaoke choices, from the imaginatively themed private rooms at The Highball, solid dive bar crooning at Ego’s Lounge, to BYOB tunes at Austin Karaoke. hella fun club Outer Heaven, to Knomad Bar’s indie/punk rock array.

For other fun-filled drinking and eating-adjacent activities, there are Austin's best live music and food spots, dog-friendly bars and restaurants, and breweries.
