You'll find karaoke rooms as part of their Scratch Mondays event - alongside live bands and DJ sets, or take part in their open mic night on Wednesdays to showcase your skills to a crowd. They've even got a gorgeous outdoor terrace to relax on afterwards, topped off by a fully stocked bar.
A prominent spot in the city's LGBTQ+ scene, Union Street Bar hosts regular karaoke nights as part of their lineup of brilliant events throughout the week.
