15 Best Karaoke Bars in Tbilisi

One listing here covers a karaoke bar, a club, a cocktail bar and a hookah lounge, so take it as all 4. Choice sits on Bambis Rigi in Old Tbilisi, holds a 4.9 across 1,696 Google reviews, and its own Instagram leads with the DJs and the big dance floor before it gets near the drinks. Shisha takes 62 review topics and the vibe another 51, which is roughly the order of business. One reviewer puts the singing flatly: the best karaoke is at Shardeni. It's open 4 PM to 4 AM, 7 nights a week, so you can arrive late and still be early.

Karaoke runs 2 nights a week here, and they're not the same night. Tuesdays belong to the Albertos brothers from 9 PM and Sundays to Faisal at the same hour, and one reviewer's verdict on the Sunday version is that it's the place to be. This is the Old Tbilisi cocktail bar where you hear more English than Georgian, and the karaoke nights are the loudest version of that. Wednesday is the Foreigners & Friends Meetup at 9 PM, Thursday an open mic with Epitaph for Underdogs at 8 PM. Doors open at 8 PM, and both karaoke nights run to 2 AM.

Candlelit karaoke is the owner's own phrase for it, and karaoke is the topic this listing counts most: 25 mentions, ahead of the mafia game at 17 and the tabletop shelf at 11. It's the wine bar and live music venue on Ivane Javakhishvili that its owner runs as what he calls a cultural hub for expats, with history lectures and master classes on the same programme. Google files the room as casual, cosy and quiet and puts solo dining among what it's popular for, so you can walk in alone and still have a night. It's shut on Mondays and runs 4 PM to 12 AM.

Take this one in daylight and let the singing happen later. Nino Meris is a Georgian winemaker, and the small shop and bar carrying her name sits on Sioni Street in sight of the church, open 11 AM to 12:30 AM every day. What people arrive for is the guided tasting: staff ask what you like, build the glasses around the answer, then explain the region, the grape and the fermentation behind each one in fluent English. It's a small room, and its own Instagram tells you to book ahead when the weather turns.

Monday to Thursday this is a cafe on Liberty Square that shuts at 9 PM. Friday and Saturday it runs to 3 AM, and the listing behind that shift adds a karaoke bar, live music and a bar on site to the coffee. It looks like a small place at the door and opens out downstairs. Google tags the room casual, cosy and quiet, with families and groups in it, and 15 review topics land on the welcoming staff. Come here when the plan is a late one in the centre and you don't want a club. It's shut on Sundays, so the weekend has a hard edge.

There's a jukebox by the entrance and you pick the songs off it yourself, which sets the terms for the rest of the night. Gadakari sits in the Sophiko Chiaureli Garden off Kote Afkhazi, filed by Google as a bar and a karaoke bar, and it holds a flat 5 across 151 reviews. Atmosphere is its most-named topic at 36, ahead of the non-alcoholic list at 24, so the friend who's driving isn't stuck with cola. Its own description gives the plan in one line: drinking and dancing all night. Doors at 8 PM, and the kitchen runs to 4 AM with the bar.

Kiki is a small room, and that's the whole proposition. It's a bar on Ovanes Tumaniani Street that its own listing calls a cafe and a bar at once, with manga and Ghibli decor and lighting dim enough to sing under. Google's review topics put friendly owners at 22 mentions, a cosy bar at 5 and karaoke at 5, and one reviewer says the owners sing well and customers can join in. Come here when you want the singing to break out at the next table instead of on a stage. It's shut on Mondays and open 7 PM to 2 AM the rest of the week.

You've done Sioni Cathedral and the Gabriadze Clock Tower, it's 6 PM, and you want to sit down without leaving the old town. The Embassy is a cocktail and wine bar in that pedestrian centre, pouring hand-shaken classics, curated Georgian wines and draft or bottled beer, with occasional live-music evenings and karaoke named in 5 of its review topics. Welcoming staff shows up in 7 more and chatting to the owner in 2, so expect to be talked to. Both the entrance and the seating are marked wheelchair accessible. It opens at 5 PM and runs to 1 AM, or 2 AM on Fridays and Saturdays.

It's 3 AM, the group has thinned out and somebody still has a song in them. D22 is a bar on Amaghleba Street in Old Tbilisi, holding 4.8 from 202 Google reviews, with cocktails, tinctures and karaoke in the same room. One reviewer describes the feeling as being in your own private bar, with songs, karaoke, dancing and games all going at once. Come here when you've run out of bars that are still open. Doors are at 6 PM, it runs to 5 AM, and to 6 AM on Saturday and Sunday.

Looper's runs its karaoke on a schedule and a queue, which is either the appeal or the problem, depending on your patience. It's a bar on Shalva Dadiani Street whose Google highlights run to cocktails, live music, bar games, sports and the singing itself, with the crowd tagged groups and tourists. Karaoke takes 14 mentions in its review topics, beaten only by the atmosphere at 19. Its own event posts put singing at 9 PM to 2 AM and a DJ from 2 to 5:30 AM. Doors are at 8 PM, it shuts at 4 AM, and 6 AM on Saturday and Sunday.

Your group has 1 person who will not sing in front of strangers, and this is the fix: the karaoke here is a room you book, not a stage you climb. It sits out in Didube-Chugureti and puts laser tag, billiards, table tennis, foosball, darts and PS5 rooms around it. Kids land in 14 review topics and ping pong in 12, and the listing points at birthdays and corporate events. The same listing says it's currently open for reservations only, and the hours run 3:30 to 11 PM Tuesday to Sunday.

The karaoke at Orange gets a floor of its own. It sits on the pedestrian stretch of David Agmashenebeli, and its listing splits the building in 2: a cafe on the first floor, and a second floor given over entirely to karaoke evenings. Google calls the atmosphere casual, cosy and quiet and the crowd groups and tourists, while friendly staff is the most mentioned thing in the reviews at 38 topics. Come here when you want dinner and a microphone in the same building. It's open 10 AM to 4 AM every day and takes reservations.

Bar Happens opens 4 nights a week and hands 2 of them to a microphone. It's a cocktail and wine bar on Ivane Machabeli Street, introduced by its own listing as the ex-CBD bar and ex-Margo Bar. Karaoke lands on Fridays and Saturdays, with open mic nights and the occasional live band on the bill as well. Come here when you want the singing to be the whole evening rather than an hour of it. It runs 7 PM to 1 AM on Wednesday and Thursday, to 5 AM on Friday, opens at 8 PM on Saturday and shuts Sunday to Tuesday.

The pitch here is a party you book rather than a bar you wander into. Bar 28 is a karaoke bar on Pekini Avenue in Vake-Saburtalo, and its own listing calls it a fully renovated karaoke and celebration space, with a diverse music base behind the microphone. It sells 3 kinds of night: karaoke evenings, themed birthdays with programmes like Flamingo Party and Gatsby Night, and corporate parties where the room closes to everyone else. Google holds it at 4.7 from 84 reviews, with the environment its loudest review topic at 11 mentions. It's open 1 PM to 2 AM daily.

Somebody in every group actually wants to sing, and this is the room built for them.

Come here when the night has already gone past 2 AM and nobody's ready to go home. Doors are at 6 PM and it runs to 5 AM every day.
