The George doubles as a karaoke bar in Dublin city centre, bringing you singing sessions alongside drag, cabaret and more. A pivotal venue across Ireland's LGBTQ+ scene, this one is a must for fabulous happenings. It boasts over 30 years of history; originally run as a shellfish tavern, today it exists as a popular haunt for glamorous nights out, which include Saturdays when Pop 'n' Bottles, its karaoke sing-off hosted by Davina Devine, Veda Lady and DJ Conor Behan, is in full swing. Entry is free before 8pm and €10 after, so get down early to be sure not to miss some of the best chart music going, alongside prizes. 

Fronting ping pong competitions, tiki-themed bingo and drag-drenched brunches, Wigwam keeps getting better and better. It's a diverse venue slap bang on Abbey Street serving scrumptious pizzas, putting on gigs and so much more. You can also head to its killer karaoke room and rent it out for a cracking evening of cocktails, epic singalongs and a cool atmosphere. Fit up to 20 of your mates in a multi-coloured room for 45 minutes (€30) and order food and drink directly to you from a QR code. 

Ukiyo bar and restaurant's club nights are the stuff of legends, and its private karaoke experience is unmatched. Book for up to ten guests at €50 a head to enjoy an evening of tunes, accompanied by a Bluetooth sound system, laser lighting and a dancefloor. Included in the package is an Asian-inspired menu, ideal for sharing, that includes the likes of crunchy trolls filled with carrots and peppers, a nigiri sushi selection and Korean fried chicken. 

When you're in dire need of a karaoke session, whether it's a Thursday, Friday, Saturday or otherwise, Marrakesh By Mingo delivers. Think Moroccan heritage meets pop culture fun with this quirky restaurant where head chef Azizi is at the helm directing the food and then beckoning diners to sing the night away in its state-of-the-art studios. Thanks to bookable rooms open 'til midnight all week, this place is a must-visit (and that's before you've even had a bite of the zaalouk or the Mogador tagine).

When it comes to finding a private karaoke bar, Dublin steps up to the mark with this beauty. Located on Wellington Quay, the live music venue has seen heaps of raucous sets over the past couple of years, from Cillian Murphy DJ sets to Royal Blood's first Irish gig. It spans various spaces from the musical oasis of The Workman's Cellar to the kitsch set-up of The Vintage Room. Head here for The Karaoke Club every Sunday from 11.30pm where you'll find a special weekly event taking over the bar. Think 80s, 90s and 00s guilty pleasures across a laid-back space.

This contender for the best bar for singing on Dublin's Dawson Street combines Japan's love of the activity with food from the country as well. There's a choice of room sizes decked out with eclectic furnishings such as red leather sofas, lip sculptures and neon lights at Maneki, and its ethos is all-encompassing, friendly and open to all levels of experience. Packages start from €35 per hour for a small studio, and while you're there you can enjoy devouring some modern sushi (like nigiri or California rolls) and noodle dishes to help fuel your inner diva.
