When in need of karaoke in Manchester city centre, Via on Canal Street is a great shout. Not only is this venue perched in the city's vibrant Gay Village, but you can join in on various singalongs with top drag acts.
Home to the dive bar version of karaoke and fuelled by the same fun vibe as their other locations, like Bunny Jackson's and Junior Jackson's, Bunny's Karaoke is home to the brand's famous 25p wings, free karaoke and American beers. Not only that, but you can also play pool and there's a private karaoke room to book too, with a fixed price of £50 hire.
Looking for a fun night out with your friends? Then head to Trax Social, found upstairs at the Printworks. This buzzing venue features large, private karaoke booths that can fit up to ten people at a time. These cost £9 per person to hire, and they offer a library of more than 100,000 songs across all genres.
That's not all that's on offer here, as you'll find cutting-edge racing simulators and immersive music quizzes (which might even include more karaoke). Plus, there are cracking two-for-one cocktails on offer, alongside bottomless brunches and tasty eats like buttermilk fried chicken burgers and loaded nachos.
