Best Karaoke Bars in Tbilisi: 7 Spots Expats Actually Love

You want to grab a mic and sing, but most karaoke bars in Tbilisi listings are tourist directories stuffed with restaurants that hide a table minimum and an all-Georgian song book. Nobody tells you where English songs, a fun crowd, and a fair price actually line up. So we put together a shortlist of the spots foreigners genuinely enjoy, from free open-stage nights to private booths for your group.

How we picked these spots

We sing in this city, so this is not a scraped directory. We ranked on the stuff that actually matters to a foreigner who just wants a good night out: an expat-friendly crowd, English songs you can actually find, clear and fair pricing, a central location, and sound that does not make you wince.

We also split the list two ways. Some venues put you on an open stage in front of the room, and some give your group a private booth with the door closed. Knowing which one you want saves the night, so we flag it for every spot. If you want the wider picture first, see our guide to the Tbilisi nightlife scene.

1. Crossroads - our weekly expat karaoke night

We will be honest with you: Crossroads is not a dedicated karaoke bar. It is our spot near Freedom Square, just off Shalva Dadiani Street, and twice a week we turn it into the most foreigner-friendly karaoke room in town. Our expat karaoke nights run every Tuesday and Sunday, and they have built a bit of a reputation.

Here is why we put ourselves at number one for you: the crowd. The room is a genuine mix of expats, locals, and travellers passing through, so you will not be the only foreigner holding the mic. The song requests skew English because the room is international, and the pro sound system flatters everyone (yes, it can make you sound like a rock star). It is free to walk in, just grab a drink at our cocktail bar and add your name to the queue.

A couple of practical notes. Things fill up around 9 to 10 PM, so come a little earlier if you want a seat and an early slot. And if making friends while singing badly is the goal, this is the easiest place in Tbilisi to do it. Come sing with us at our expat karaoke night.

Best for: meeting people, or your first karaoke night in a new city.

Now, if you want a purpose-built karaoke venue on a night we are not running ours, here are the real ones worth your time.

The best dedicated karaoke bars in Tbilisi

These are the genuine, open-any-night karaoke venues in the city. We have grouped them so the open-stage spots come first, then the private-room places where your group gets its own booth.

2. Make Noise

Make Noise sits at 5 Gia Abesadze Street, right in the center, and it is the easiest low-commitment night on this list. Karaoke is free for every guest, there is no table minimum, and you can sing in any language, which makes it one of the safest bets in town for English songs. The tagline they run with is more than karaoke, more than a bar, and the vibe backs it up.

The crowd is lively, mixed, and happy to be there, and it runs late, roughly 8 PM to 6 AM daily. Songs go on a first-come basis, so on a busy weekend the queue can stretch out. When that happens you can either hang back and enjoy the room or pay to jump the line for your turn.

Best for: a spontaneous night out without a bill at the end.

3. Voice Karaoke Bar

Voice is the dressed-up option. You will find it at Bambis Rigi 8, in the Shardeni cluster of the Old Town, and the design leans chic and a little upscale. There is a serious whiskey and cocktail list, international food, and karaoke kicks off around 8 PM.

One thing to know before you sit down: this is a venue with a spend minimum, and a table for two runs around 150 GEL. That is normal for the polished end of the scene, but we would rather you knew going in than got surprised by the tab. Reservations are smart here, especially on Sundays.

Best for: a date night or a special occasion where you want it to feel a notch fancier.

4. Amici Karaoke Bar

Amici, at Shardeni 8 in the Old Town, is the most openly foreigner-friendly spot on the strip. The staff speak English, Russian, Arabic, and Georgian, which makes life easy if your group is a mix of nationalities and nobody speaks the same first language. The song selection is wide and international, the cocktails are solid, and it stays open late into the small hours.

If you are rolling with a mixed crew of tourists and expats and want zero friction at the door, this is a comfortable pick.

Best for: tourists and expats out together.

5. Sanoto Karaoke Bar

Sanoto is the middle ground. It sits in the same Shardeni and Bambis Rigi cluster in the Old Town and leans toward a private-room feel with a strong cocktail list, without the full restaurant formality of the bigger venues. Reviews are positive even if the place flies a little under the radar.

It is a good shout when your group wants a bit of its own space but you are not trying to commit to a whole sit-down dinner. That makes it a natural bridge into the proper private-room venues below.

Best for: a small group that wants its own corner.

6. Therapy Karaoke Rooms

Therapy is the pick for anyone who would rather not sing in front of strangers. It is at Atoneli 13 in the Old Town, about a seven-minute walk from Freedom Square, and it is private rooms only. No open stage, no audience you did not invite. You book a booth, close the door, and let loose with your crew.

The setup earns its reputation: a professional karaoke system with thousands of songs and genuinely good sound. It runs evenings into the night, so it suits a planned outing more than a 2 AM walk-in.

Best for: shy singers, birthday groups, and anyone hunting a huge song catalog.

7. Meidan VIP Karaoke Rooms

Meidan rounds out the list as the make-a-whole-night-of-it choice. The VIP karaoke rooms sit in the Old Town near the river by Meidan square, in the same historic pocket as the brick-arched Tiflis Meidani restaurant, so you can pair private singing with a proper Georgian meal and even live folk music nearby. The rooms come with high-quality sound, and the place runs late into the night.

Be ready for a spend minimum in the region of 400 GEL, which fits the celebration format but is worth knowing before you book. Reservations are advised.

Best for: a celebration where you want food, privacy, and singing in one place.

Quick tips for a good karaoke night in Tbilisi

A few things we have learned doing this most weeks:

• Most karaoke runs late, and rooms fill up around 9 to 10 PM, especially on weekends. Reserve where you can, namely Voice, Meidan, and Therapy.

• If English matters, check the song book is bilingual before you commit. Make Noise and Amici are the safest bets for a deep English catalog.

• "Bar" sometimes means "restaurant with a table minimum." Ask before you sit down (Voice is around 150 GEL, Meidan around 400 GEL).

• Most of these spots cluster on Shardeni and Bambis Rigi in the Old Town, so you can bar-hop on foot and even grab late-night food after.

• For the most foreigner-heavy room, come to our Tuesday or Sunday night.
