Miami takes karaoke seriously, and the scene goes well beyond a hotel bar sing along on Ocean Drive. Between food halls with private rooms, a secret door in South Beach, and one true dive bar that has run the same night for three decades, there is a room here for every kind of singer, from someone who wants a stage and a spotlight to someone who just wants a mic passed around a booth with friends. Below is a full rundown of where Miami actually sings, along with exact nights, hours, cover policy and age requirements so you can plan an evening without guessing. Every venue links out to its full profile on our venue directory, and every address links to Google Maps for directions.
Se7en Seas
West Miami’s Se7en Seas is the room every other Miami karaoke bar gets measured against. It has been running for more than 30 years, it is cash only, and the crowd is an honest mix of longtime regulars and first timers who wander in and never quite leave. Karaoke runs three nights a week: Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday from 10pm to 2am. The bar itself is open daily from noon to nearly midnight, so you can settle in early before the mic comes out. It is 21 and up (get directions).
Kings Dining and Entertainment
This entertainment complex in Doral pairs bowling and arcade games with a karaoke catalog of more than 60,000 songs, and it is one of the only rooms on this list that welcomes all ages. The Kings Dining and Entertainment Flamingo private room seats up to 20 guests, which makes it a popular pick for birthday parties and family celebrations. Karaoke runs Thursday from 8pm to 10pm, and the complex is open most days from 11am into the night (get directions).
1-800-Lucky
1-800-Lucky, Miami’s first food hall built around Asian cuisines, sits in Wynwood, spanning 10,000 square feet with six restaurants and a vinyl record shop behind it. Karaoke happens Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights from 8pm to 2am, drawing a lively crowd that treats the private room like the after party to dinner. It is 21 and up, cover charge applies (get directions).
Batch Gastropub Brickell
Batch Gastropub Brickell is a two story bar in the financial district known for craft cocktails and one of Brickell’s busiest happy hours. Karaoke is a Friday night thing here, running from 8pm until nearly midnight, which makes it the natural landing spot after a long work week for the Brickell office crowd. 21 and up, cover charge applies (get directions).
Bodega South Beach
This late night taqueria hides one of South Beach’s most eclectic karaoke rooms behind a literal secret door. Order a taco, find the door, and you are in one of the more memorable rooms on this list. Bodega South Beach runs karaoke Friday nights from 9pm to 1am. 21 and up, cover charge applies (get directions).
Hotel Gaythering
Miami’s beloved gay hotel on Lincoln Road, Hotel Gaythering hosts a free Karaoke Monday every week from 8pm to 11pm, led by comedian Blamie Forret. It is one of the only free karaoke nights in this guide and one of the most welcoming, drawing a crowd that comes for the community as much as the singing. 21 and up (get directions).
The Clevelander South Beach
The Clevelander South Beach has anchored Ocean Drive since 1938 and remains a Miami Beach nightlife institution. Karaoke runs Tuesday nights from 8pm to midnight, folded into a bar that also runs pool parties and live entertainment daily from 11am to 5am. Cover charge applies, 21 and up (get directions).
Mickey Burkes
Over on Washington Avenue in Miami Beach, Mickey Burkes runs karaoke twice a week, Monday and Friday from 10pm to 2am. It is a smaller, more neighborhood feeling room than the Ocean Drive spots, good for anyone who wants karaoke without the tourist crowd (get directions).
Kill Your Idol
This South Beach dive bar on Espanola Way is the closest thing on this list to true late night, no pretense karaoke. Kill Your Idol is free to get in, karaoke runs Thursday from 8pm all the way to 4am, and the bar itself does not close until 5am nightly. 21 and up (get directions).
The Bar Coral Gables
The Bar Coral Gables is a neighborhood spot on Miracle Mile that keeps karaoke casual and local, away from the South Beach and Brickell crowds. Karaoke runs Tuesday nights from 10pm to 2am (get directions).
Bougainvillea’s Old Florida Tavern
Tucked into South Miami, Bougainvillea’s Old Florida Tavern brings karaoke to a quieter corner of the city on Tuesday nights from 10pm to 2am, with a laid back neighborhood bar feel that is a world away from the Beach scene (get directions).
How to Plan Your Karaoke Night in Miami
Almost every room on this list charges a cover and is 21 and up, with two exceptions built for groups and families: Kings Dining and Entertainment in Doral, which welcomes all ages, and the private rooms at spots like 1-800-Lucky, where a group can effectively rent the room for the night. If you want a free night out, Hotel Gaythering’s Monday karaoke and Kill Your Idol’s cover free door are the two best options. Weekends fill up fast at the South Beach rooms, so if you want a table without a wait, go on the weeknight sessions instead, Tuesday at The Bar Coral Gables or The Clevelander, or Wednesday if a spot near you runs it. If dive bars are more your speed than karaoke stages, see our guide to Miami’s best dive bars, which covers two of the same rooms from a different angle.
