Best of Metromix Indianapolis 2011Karaoke bar
We know you. You're that great singer who goes to all the karaoke bars, trying to win cash for your natural talent. But what about the rest of us, huh? What about the tone-deaf singers who just want to drink a little and sing "Fat-Bottomed Girls" in a tune Freddie Mercury wouldn't recognize? Fortunately for both our types, there's a good karaoke bar on just about every end of town. Vote for the best!
And the winner is…
Living Room Lounge
934 N. Pennsylvania St.
Indianapolis, IN 46204Neighborhood: Downtown
The Living Room underwent a major renovation and expansion a few years back but it still ain't fancy. Dimly lit and cozy this bar offers dirt cheap pitchers of beer, heartland comfort food from breakfast through "Fourth Meal." When it's nice out, the back patio is a great spot to hideaway from karaoke warblers
Nominees
Downtown Olly's
822 N. Illinois St.
Indianapolis, IN 46204Neighborhood: Downtown
If high-maintenance clubs aren't your flavor, try this gay-friendly 24-hour sports pub just west of the Marion County Library.
Metro Restaurant & Nightclub
707 Massachusetts Ave.
Indianapolis, IN 46204Neighborhood: Downtown
The Grand Dame of Mass. Ave. serves up sandwiches with as much sass as the weekly karaoke crooners. Get there early for grub because on weekend nights the Metro is filled to the brim.
Nippers Grill & Tap
1772 E. 116th St.
Carmel, IN 46032A poker league runs all summer but if cards ain't your thing there's ample room to spread out and share a pizza, shoot pool, or catch a breather between karaoke renditions of "Livin' on A Prayer," and "Don't Stop Believin'."
Monkey's Tale
925 E. Westfield Blvd.
Indianapolis, IN 46220Neighborhood: Broad Ripple
The Monkey's Tale serves New Orleans cuisine and frequently features live music. You can enjoy creole gumbo, peel-and-eat shrimp, crabfish rolls or fried, blackened or grilled chicken. Afterward, if you have room for dessert, choose from key lime pie, bayou bread pudding or Mississippi mud cake.
