Escape the nightmare that is Yonge and Dundas Square to a bar above Swiss Chalet that is constantly adding new songs to its massive library. Bar Plus is a popular getaway for groups who don’t want to travel to either Koreatowns to throw back a few beers and sing some tunes.

This long-time favourite is a Koreatown staple. Twister has all the standard accoutrements of a classic bar with over 300,000 songs on the karaoke box, which is a better console than some of the other options out there.

Coin-activated booths make this Koreatown bar a great spot to step up your song-belting skills. Work on your singing chops with a room that’s just big enough for two people or have a solo practice session.

A major competitor of the incumbent Koreatown North karaoke champ Twister is this affordable spot with an updated list of tunes. Whether you’re looking for BLACKPINK or some good ol’ Michael Jackson classics, it’s likely Yonge Karaoke has you covered.

Easily the most stylish karaoke spot on this list is this upper-floor bar in Chinatown. Shiny and sleek, B-Boss is an upgrade from most other karaoke spots offering largely the same things: booze and bops.

Throw a birthday party at this clubby bar in the heart of Chinatown with themed rooms that each have their own private washroom. There’s a particularly big selection of Canto and Mandarin classics plus tunes in Japanese and Korean.

It’s never a gamble when visiting Su, situated by Yonge and Wellesley. The business is known for having top-notch service and rooms that are particularly clean. Plus they have cash-only deals.

UV microphone sanitizing machines might put your mind at ease at this basement bar in Koreatown. If you’re heading there on a weekday, you’ll get the first hour for free, with reservations.
