While some might call it cheesy, karaoke is definitely a fun form of entertainment you can enjoy here in Singapore. It doesn’t matter if you’re a bathroom singer, show-stopping songstress or can’t hold a note to save your life, KTV bars provide a non-discriminatory space where the sole purpose is simple: to just sing and have a ball of a time with friends and families. So…clear your throat, do some lip trills and get ready to impress us with your talent (or lack thereof) at these six karaoke bars in Singapore.
K Box
Established since August 2002, this familiar name is the largest karaoke chain in Singapore, with eight outlets furbished with state-of-the-art karaoke systems. Often decked with a slew of Chinese songs (don’t worry; there are English songs too!), here’s where you’ll often discover aspiring Mandopop divas. Riding on their popularity, they’ve also launched K suites, a more upmarket boutique-style karaoke lounge at Bugis+ and Orchard Parade Hotel.

Ten Dollar Club
Living up to its name, this is the place for a fun sing-along session with your mates without having to burn a huge hole in your pockets. At $10 per session, you’ll get the bare karaoke essentials as well as free-flow of hot and soft drinks. You’re even allowed to bring outside food just in case all that belting makes you hungry!

Teo Heng

This family-friendly KTV bar offers clean and vibrant looking studios, exuding a warmth and safe ambience.

Tang Music Box
A hit with most karaoke lovers in Singapore, Tang Music Box has an extensive selection of songs in a myriad of languages. Feeling a little chilly in the studio? They’ll kindly provide you with blankets. Need a breather? Then head over to The Meeting Place, the main hall where you’ll get to mingle with like-minded people while deciding which snacks to get. Psst…they are typically open ’til 6am on weekends.

Cash Studio
If you are looking for top-charting songs or classic oldie hits, Cash Studio has it all. But what’s more interesting about Cash Studio is that it’s known amongst fans of Japanese and Malay music for having a good assortment of J-pop, J-rock and uber sentimental Malay music in their repertoire. And if the room is vacant after your designated timeslot, they might let you stick around a little longer!
