Covent Garden's 5 best karaoke venues

Italian dishes, acrobats, and sparklers – just your regularly scheduled programming at Bunga Bunga. The Covent Garden staple has been serving up metre-long pizzas, cocktails and immersive live shows to rival the best of them.

When it comes to karaoke, you’re in luck, as Bunga Bunga are one of the Covent Garden’s finest venues for it (plus they come with options to suit every party). Diners can hang back on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 10.30 pm for a spot of late-night karaoke with the rest of the crowd.

For a private dinner and karaoke, the diner-like Bar Bunga hosts up to 70 guests, while the uber-retro space, affectionately known as Nonna’s Attico, hosts private karaoke sessions for smaller groups of up to 15 between Wednesdays to Saturdays.

Full venue hire is also available for karaoke parties with up to 300 guests.

Pan-Asian cuisine meets karaoke at Inamo’s Covent Garden branch. Set across three floors, the restaurant’s ground-floor Onyx Room offers a private (or semi-private) space for dining and you guessed it, karaoke for up to 70.

With well-lit onyx panels, sleek black seating and luminous bar lighting, it’s a call to a quintessential early noughties club scene from a film – one that others seem to love too, as evidenced by the awards it’s won.

Thanks to the two large screens, private bar and selection of over 700 songs, duets (or solos) are now an easier, more stylish and savoury affair.

Thanks to its two locations within walking distance of each other, Brazen Monkey offers itself as a must-visit karaoke bar for those in and around Covent Garden.

Their Covent Garden location is set in Boulevard Brasserie, serving up mini burgers, chicken skewers, arancini and rosemary chips while their Leicester Square abode offers croquettes, mini calzones, vegetable dumplings and pistachio doughnuts to karaoke parties at KOHA Restaurant and Bar.

Pricing is set based on group size and hours, so what your karaoke night looks like is completely up to you.

Brightening up Covent Garden’s Henrietta Street is the restaurant and cocktail bar, Mrs Riot. Inspired by the British entertainer Catherine “Kitty” Clive (who often donned her most famous persona ‘Mrs Riot’), it’s a welcome addition to Covent Garden’s collection of colourful cocktail bar scene.

Decked out in mismatched patterned wallpaper, colourful velvet seats, revamped historical portraits and other maximalist decor, they’ve proven that they’re well and truly ‘Mrs Riot’ in name and spirit.

For karaoke, take centre stage at their 30-person private karaoke room, Kitty’s Karaoke. The kitsch space can be privately hired throughout the week – with cocktails and pizza on hand at the push of a button.

Full venue hire is available for groups of up to 120.

Across the street from an Odeon and Pure is where you’ll find TSQ Playhouse’s sign that beckons you inside, come evening. Inside, guests will find that there’s more than meets the eye at this venue.

With a fantasy-and-fairytale-inspired theme (and interiors to match), expect to see thrones, palm trees, mini hot air balloons, a giant cage and a roving Mad Hatter.

Their Queen and King rooms offer a karaoke and private dining experience for parties of up to 20. Set against a backdrop of caged lights, mounted faux animal heads and luxe velvet sofas, guests can drink, snack on the amuse bouche and take their pick of the multi-lingual song selections.

Open on Fridays and Satudays, you can find TSQ Playhouse on Shaftesbury Avenue.
