Explore exciting upscale karaoke bars in Chicago

Chicago is just as much an entertainment hub as New York or any other major city in the USA. There is no shortage of karaoke bars here, many of which are themed to fit tropical motifs and tailored for a more intimate feel. Others have public stages, private rooms, or specialize in cocktails over other drinks. You'll find upscale karaoke bars as far north as Lincolnwood, with the number rapidly increasing as you head into downtown. The Near Northside, the Loop, and Chinatown have the greatest number, many of them decorated in flashing neon, black lights, and artistic displays that will leave you breathless before you ever hit the microphone.

Karaoke bars in Chicago with private rooms

Karaoke is an intensely social experience but sometimes renting a private room is the best way. Shy friends in your group don't have to feel exposed in front of strangers while struggling through a tune. The song selection is entirely up to you. And you're all free to take the conversational noise level up a notch. Upscale karaoke bars like No. 18 Karaoke in Chinatown offer varying room sizes and rates dependent on the number of people you have. And what could be better than a generous menu of tasty snacks to keep your energy up between rounds of singing? If you're a longtime karaoke lover then you may find that the bars start to all look the same after a while. Murasaki Sake Lounge in the Near North Side breaks the mold, with its subdued restaurant and bar vibe. The sake and traditional Japanese cuisine selection are a nice change from the bar snacks most karaoke bars offer. Karaoke rooms at Murasaki are private and include thousands of English and Japanese musical hits.
