I know, I know. Most bar situations in the area have at least one night dedicated to Karaoke. People love the opportunity to sing their fave off-key (after a few brews) Air Supply, Queen or Elton John songs, on a stage, in public.

It's a great time to be had for all involved.

And while there are some unwritten rules for Karaoke:

  • Namely, don't be too good of a singer and ruin the fun for everyone.
  • Don't sing songs nobody knows.
  • And definitely, don't (if you can help it) be a mic hog.

The one main element of Karaoke that I have taken for granted the whole of my Karaoke existence is having an awesome, energetic, engaging host who can really sing/perform when there are lulls in the lineup. Plus, a lot of spots who offer Karaoke nights do so during the week. It is the rare treat to be able to go out on the weekend, gobble up some cute food after a quick shopping spree, grab a spicy beverage and then belt out some Beyonce. It's super convenient if you ask me.

Enter Pinz Bowl.

Pinz is a technically bowling alley that also offers axe throwing and arcade style gaming, plus food and a bar area. We went to celebrate my best friend's birthday. We stayed for the Saturday Night Karaoke and a really good meal with a good amount of vegan/vegetarian options. Try the crispy Brussels Sprouts and the Impossible O.G. Burger with fries.

10 Karaoke Songs To Get the Crowd Going Wild

10 of the Best Country Songs for Karaoke

When it comes to karaoke, even if you don't have the greatest voice, you can still have a good time. Because the point isn't to have the best voice in the room. The point is to have a fun, shared experience with your fellow singers. In my opinion, a passionate performer makes for a way better evening than someone who happens to have a pretty voice. That being said, what songs are in your repertoire? We asked around to see what country songs you thought were the best for karaoke night. Take a look through the 10 best below, and perhaps you'll find something new to add to your lineup.
