Boca Raton doesn’t have a strip of dedicated karaoke bars the way Miami or West Palm Beach does. What it has instead is a scattered handful of sports bars and neighborhood pubs, mostly along Federal Highway and out toward the western suburbs, that each claim one night of the week as their own. That means a Wednesday in Boca looks completely different from a Thursday, and knowing which bar owns which night is the whole game. Every address below links to Google Maps and every venue links to its full profile in our venue directory.
Packy’s Sports Grill
Out west on Palmetto Park Road, Packy's Sports Grill runs a weekly karaoke night every Thursday night in a casual sports bar setting with a full menu and plenty of TVs for anyone who wanders in mid-game. 21 and up (get directions).
Boca Hideaway
Boca Hideaway on Federal Highway has built a genuine local following around its Wednesday 6pm karaoke night, led by longtime host Hal, who knows most of the regulars by name. It’s a smaller room than the sports bars on this list, which makes the karaoke feel more like a house party than a competition. 21 and up (get directions).
Turn 3 Sports Bar Boca Raton
Over in Sandalfoot Plaza, Turn 3 Sports Bar Boca Raton splits its calendar between rotating cover bands on Fridays and Saturdays and a separate karaoke rotation, so it’s worth checking the specific night before heading over. 21 and up (get directions).
O’Brian’s Irish Pub Boca Raton
Downtown near Mizner Park, O'Brian's Irish Pub Boca Raton is a proper Irish pub with a regular Wednesday karaoke night hosted by KJ Aaron, running late into the night. 21 and up (get directions).
Crazy Uncle Mike’s
On North Federal Highway, Crazy Uncle Mike's runs Rockstar Karaoke, a live band backed karaoke night on Saturdays, where a full band plays behind whoever grabs the mic instead of a backing track. It’s a different format from every other bar on this list and worth the drive on its own. 21 and up (get directions).
None of these are the polished, private-room karaoke boxes you’ll find in Doral or Hollywood further south. Boca’s version is looser, cheaper, and built around bars that were already there before karaoke became the draw. If a big touring karaoke chain opens a Boca Raton location, it will change this list, but for now, this is where the real nights happen.
Getting There
Boca and Delray sit about fifteen minutes apart along Federal Highway or I95, so treating them as one area is realistic on a weeknight.

Just Outside Boca
Boca Raton has fewer karaoke rooms than its size suggests, so the neighboring towns are worth knowing. O’Brian’s Irish Pub in Boca itself runs Wednesday, a straightforward pub room with the microphone out midweek.
In Delray Beach, a short drive north, Delray Hideaway, tucked off the main strip, takes Friday. It is smaller and more local than the Atlantic Avenue rooms a few blocks over, which is the appeal if you would rather sing than be watched by a strip full of people.
Picking Your Night
Between Boca and Delray there are two dependable nights: Wednesday at O’Brian’s and Friday at Delray Hideaway. Weekend karaoke is harder to find in this part of the county than midweek, because Friday and Saturday belong to booked bands in most rooms.
Almost all of these nights are free to take part in, and none require signing up in advance. Turning up before the list fills, usually within the first hour, is the only planning that matters.
