Calling all amateur singers and performers.
These four pubs in Kitsilano are offering you a spot in the limelight, sort of. They all have dedicated karaoke nights where you and your friends can belt out Elton John like nobody’s business. Or, if you prefer, partake in the various drink and food specials on these entertaining nights instead of grasping the mic.
Situated in the old Displace Hashery space, this nicely renovated neighbourhood pub hosts a karaoke night every Saturday, from 9pm till 12:30am. Drink specials include $5 pints of Russell Lager. Their daily happy hour from 3pm till 5pm is also worthwhile, with margherita pizzas and schnitzel sandwiches for $10, along with $5 beer and wine deals. They even have a play area for little kids while mom and pop down a few for lunch.
