Seattle's karaoke is decidedly bar-first. Rickshaw Restaurant & Lounge in Greenwood — running nightly karaoke since 1976 — is widely regarded as the city's beloved standard-bearer, with Sunday in-person sign-ups and a Friday Slotted queue. Hula Hula on Capitol Hill brings tiki-themed karaoke 365 nights a year, and just up the block The Crescent Lounge runs every night of the week. Ozzie's in Lower Queen Anne is another seven-nights-a-week mainstay, with a second karaoke room opening for weekends. 4Bs Tavern in Ballard fills out the late-week calendar Friday through Monday. Dreamland Bar & Diner in Fremont hosts Ggnzla Karaoke on Mondays — homemade tracks, a longtime LGBTQIA+ gathering spot. For private rooms, Rock Box on Capitol Hill is Japanese-style with a party space and happy-hour rates, and Vox Karaoke in the Chinatown-International District handles the more affordable hourly side.
