8. Jack’s Pour House, Grand Prairie, TX
Stop me if you know how this goes: You’re hanging out on a Saturday afternoon and you don’t have anything to do for the night. You know you want a place that has custom cocktails, free pool tables, a dance floor, and karaoke, but you have no idea what kind of magical place might fit the bill. Then it hits you: Jack’s Pour House! Of course! They have all this and more—everything you need to turn your boring Saturday into a night to remember.
9. Sidetracked Pub and Grub, Arlington, TX
Say it with me: Karaoke is a way of life. That’s why Sidetracked Pub and Grill offers it seven nights a week. At Sidetracked, you never have to spend another dismal night without the joy of music dancing on your lips.
10. Skooners Grill and Bar, Lubbock, TX
According to Skooners Grill and Bar, “Life isn’t a cabaret. It’s a dive bar.” Of course, that doesn’t stop them from giving in to their inner cabaret every once in a while—specifically, every Friday and Saturday, where DJ Damon takes the karaoke floor.
