Perth’s best karaoke bars
Whether you’ve actually got some decent pipes or just want to drunkenly recreate that iconic Bill Murray scene from Lost In Translation, karaoke can be a heap of fun.
As popular for work functions as it is for late night bad decisions, Perth has its fair share of karaoke bars just waiting with microphones and hundreds of thousands of songs at the ready:
The Royal
We can tell you from first-hand experience… The Royal’s karaoke room is excellent. Decked out with velvet couches, record covers and a disco ball-esque chandelier, its retro vibes set the tone for an evening of belting out the classics. We’re still recovering from our visit, but rest assured – we’ll be back.
531 Wellington Street, Perth
Ferrara
Ferrara Bar on Queen Street has been around for almost 30 years, so it’s safe to say they know what they’re doing. Tuesdays feature drinks at industry prices, while Thursday is Musical Theatre Night. The only thing is, no private booths. So make sure you’ve got your performance hat on (or a couple of shots under your belt), and dress up to impress.

KARA Karaoke
If you like your karaoke no muss, no fuss style, KARA on Lake Street is a winner. Opens early and stays so til very late, the relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff make for an easy-going night to belt out your fave oldies, with a few new ones sprinkled throughout.
21B Lake Street, Northbridge
Prince Lane Bar (Karaoke Suite)
You probably know Prince Lane’s various areas – The Public Bar, Glamour Bar and Rooftop, but they’ve also got a specially serviced Karaoke Suite upstairs. They have a minimum spend of $600, but it’s a huge room that can cater up to 38 people, so the more the merrier (and cheaper)!
356 Murray Street, Perth
Galaxy Lounge
Another Northrbidge fave,Galaxy Lounge offers a wide variety of the latest popular hip-hop and R&B tracks from artists like Cardi B to Post Malone (who has actually visited this spot in the past). They also offer a pretty well-priced food selection, and the luxe fit-out will make you feel like a popstar.
65 Francis Street, Northbridge
Strike Bowling
If you’re not content with a night of bowling or mini golf at one of Perth’s many Strike locations, you can always duck into one of their private karaoke rooms. Drinks and delicious eats are delivered to your room, which features a top shelf audio/visual system and wacky costumes and props for photo ops. Offering a 200+ page song list, including banging pre-crafted playlists, you can book a room for as little as $80-$150/ph depending on peak hour.

A great deal for three hours of singing (or screaming) like a rock star.
