Every year, CityBeat publishes the Best Of Cincinnati®, wherein readers and staffers alike pick which bars are the booziest, which people are the coolest and which shops are your best bet for dropping a pretty penny.

Sometimes, you just want to belt out a show tune, classic rock anthem or ’90s bop in front of a group of non-judgmental strangers. That’s where karaoke comes in. When that urge to sing your heart out strikes, these Greater Cincinnati bars are the place to go, according to CityBeat readers. We even included a suggested song to fit the vibe (but you do you). Keep scrolling to see where you’re going for your next karaoke night.
