"Each of these venues offers a markedly unique experience: You can front a live band, reserve a private stage for you and your friends, knock back tiki drinks while waiting your turn, or-because this is Portland-serenade the clothes off a pole dancer. Whether you're a classically trained performer or more of a shower singer, here are our favorite karaoke spots in town."
"In an hour of watching Portlanders take the public stage, you might not recognize a single song-we witnessed a folk song about a hippo, lashings of death metal, and a new-wave deep cut that got everyone on the dance floor. Feeling shy? Book a themed private room-one even has a photo booth-or keep your hands busy with vegan mozzarella sticks. -Katherine Chew Hamilton"
The Portland karaoke scene includes a wide range of venues that transform singing into distinct experiences. The Alibi in North Portland is an almost 80-year-old tiki lounge where patrons can perform lounge-singer standards such as Don Ho. Baby Ketten Klub in Hosford-Abernethy offers an enormous, eclectic song catalog including rare tracks recorded by owner John Brophy, themed private rooms, a photo booth, and vegan mozzarella sticks. Chopsticks in Laurelhurst remains a neighborhood staple after formerly having multiple numbered locations. Venues allow performers to front live bands, reserve private stages, enjoy tiki drinks, or sing amid lively, theatrical atmospheres.
