Karaoke?

Do any of the bars around here have a karaoke night? If not, going further out into Cambridge/Boston, is there anywhere in particular you might recommend?

Powderhouse is undergoing renovations right now though and they're closed. They just changed ownership and they seem to be giving the place a bit of a polish.

But now I know where Tommy Doyle's is...it just kind of appeared on my new DiningIn menu.

Tommy Doyle's used to be House of Blues.

that's cool; I never go there unless I absolutely need to get out of the house and want a drink; its such a pit and not even a decent dive bar. it's be nice to have a good bar right around the block.

of course; its the other way around the block from where I always walk; so I don't notice things like renovations....

Powderhouse and Tommy Doyles

I second the Tommy Doyle's in Harvard Sq. Karaoke there is every Wednesday from 10-1 (after Trivia). I'm there every week (at least while I'm in town).

As for the powderhouse, they had Karaoke from 10-1 on Tuesday and Thursday, but I have no idea if they will continue that when they reopen. I used to go every Tuesday. On Thursday's they had a Karaoke Contest which wasn't quite my cup of tea.

If you're looking for an earlier Karaoke, Tommy Doyle's in Kendall Sq (next to CBC) has Karaoke at 8pm. I go there sometimes when I'm free earlier in the day.

For a different quality of karaoke there's also the Courtside on Cambridge Street in Cambridge. I wouldn't recommend them, but I don't know anything else on Friday.

I walk by there every day on the way to and from the bus. I kind of miss their cheeseburgers though, so I kind of wish they'd open again.

And a-ha on Tommy Doyle's. I visit Harvard Sq rarely now so I had no idea what House of Blues became.
