San Francisco's karaoke scene splits between Japantown's private-room circuit and a beloved set of neighborhood open-mic bars. Fillmore Karaoke, Level2 Karaoke, K-BOX, and Festa Wine & Cocktail Lounge anchor the Japantown side, with TaishoSF on Post Street and Pandora Karaoke & Bar in the Tenderloin rounding out the bookable-room contingent. The open-mic side runs deep on history. The Mint Karaoke Lounge on Market Street has been an open-stage institution since 1993 with no cover or song charges. Martuni's near the Mission keeps a live pianist taking requests every night — sing-along piano bar more than karaoke. Bow Bow Cocktail Lounge on Grant Avenue brings a divey, anything-goes Chinatown energy, while Silver Cloud on Lombard has done nightly karaoke in the Marina for decades. Lion's Den in Chinatown is one of the rare US spots running live-band karaoke. From the Sunset to the Tenderloin to Alameda, SF is a city of regulars, and the karaoke calendar reflects it.
