Karaoke nights are the perfect way to spend time with friends while enjoying great food and drinks — and maybe laughing along to your wannabe pop star efforts. The Northern Virginia area is full of exciting venues, from Korean-style clubs that allow you to book private rooms for the evening, to pubs that test your ability to hold it together in the limelight of a crowd. No matter your style, there is a karaoke place perfect for you and your friends to create a memorable evening out on the town. Here are some local favorites to consider the next time you feel the need to break out into song.
KPop Karaoke
Live your dreams of international superstardom at the brand new KPop Karaoke, which features a large mix of songs in Korean, English, Tagalog, Thai, Chinese, and Japanese for your night out. Book an individual room all to yourselves and crank up the sound on the updated sound systems to kick things off. Prices start at $40 per hour, and rooms can hold about eight people comfortably, making it easy to split the tab for a group outing. If you get hungry mid-performance, food and drinks are just a call button away.
Patriots Pub and Grill
On Friday and Saturday nights, Patriots Pub and Grill transforms into a karaoke hotspot. The pub recently relocated to a new building featuring a larger bar and happy hour space, so bring the group and get ready to sing your hearts out. Specialty pizzas, burgers, and more are available, and the pub offers a wide selection of beer and other beverages. On Friday nights, you can fuel your musical evening with the all-day $8 pizza special.
Lulu Cafe
Don’t let the name fool you — Lulu Cafe has a complete bar in addition to its open lounge and individual rooms, or noraebang. Since 2005, Lulu has been offering nightly karaoke alongside traditional and non-traditional Korean food with its own special twist for a memorable night out. Groups of any size can make reservations to secure a room, and guests under 21 years old are welcome to join in the fun.
TD Karaoke
TD Karaoke is a colorful venue with plenty of private karaoke rooms for any size of group. Room rates start at $30 per hour for a mini room, perfect for just a few friends, and go all the way up to $160 per hour for the VIP treatment, which includes a large, extra-plush room. Weekend happy hour costs just $7 per person and includes an assortment of snacks for the price. At any other time, the price of the food you order is deducted from the hourly room rate, so fill up on TD’s wide selection of cocktails, beer, wine, and sake or Chinese snacks like pork fried rice and grilled chicken skewers to get your room rental for free.
Dain Cafe and Karaoke
Groups visiting Dain Cafe and Karaoke can rent individual rooms with karaoke setups at an hourly rate, making it ideal for birthdays and other group outings. Dain hosts a weekly happy hour, where singers arriving before 9 p.m. from Monday through Thursday can take advantage of a discounted rate for karaoke. You can order food and drinks, including Korean specialties, at the lobby bar, or call a server over to your room at the press of a button so you can fill up without missing a beat.
Rock It Grill
Rock It Grill is proud to call itself the friendliest neighborhood bar in Alexandria. A live DJ spins karaoke hits seven nights a week, and the venue takes reservations for large groups if you’re looking to celebrate a birthday or other event. In addition to karaoke, Rock It Grill has 10 HD TVs for sports and two pool tables to keep you entertained while you’re waiting for your time in the spotlight. The bar’s menu includes old-fashioned favorites and daily sandwich, burger, and wing specials in addition to local craft beer on draft, among other beverages.
Auld Shebeen
On Thursday and Friday nights, Fairfax’s only authentic Irish pub trades the traditional acoustic tunes for a karaoke party in its cellar. On Thursdays, DJs play top hits and karaoke favorites, with bar games and food and drink specials in the background. Friday nights feature a more classic American karaoke experience, with a binder of tunes at your disposal and a host to help you out. No matter which day you choose, you’ll find traditional Irish food alongside seasonal cocktails, wine, and beer selections to complete your night out.
