Nob Hill + Chinatown, San Francisco · bar
Chinatown's most beloved karaoke dive is a narrow, moody room with a mic that's always up for grabs and a song book running from "Footloose" to "Forever Young." Drinks are cheap, there are no private rooms or pretense, and the owner will happily grab the mic if things get quiet. Just show up after a night in the neighborhood and belt something. Karaoke begins nightly at 5:30.
