7. Charlie Brown's Bar & Grill 980 Grant Street The cheap booze flows here from morning until night, and you can keep your pipes primed during the five-times-a-week piano sing-along. That way, when the karaoke starts at 9:30 p.m. on Sundays, you'll be ready to join in with the rest of the appreciative audience, encouraging every intoxicated rendition of "Ice Ice Baby."

6. El Charrito 2100 Larimer Street While El Charrito has been one of downtown's classic dives since it opened five decades ago, the spot made a comeback a few years ago with new owners. Sure, it's a great bar for cheap drinks, but it's also one of the few places you'll find karaoke on the weekends in the Ballpark Neighborhood. Friday and Saturday nights usually start off fairly tame, but by 11 p.m. or so, the place is jumping. Tickers that run on the bottom of the screens let you know when you're up.

5. Ogden Street South 103 South Ogden Street Resting comfortably in the Wash Park neighborhood for over three decades, Ogden Street South is best recognized for its epic weekend karaoke extravaganzas. Cheap drinks lubricate the Friday and Saturday night sing-alongs, and the carpeted watering hole's beer-sign-littered walls give the place a distinctive, college-bar feel.
