Vancouver’s best karaoke venues
It’s called Earmuffs Karaoke for a reason. While most of Vancouver is tucking into bed, getting ready for another Tuesday in the office, Monday night karaoke at the Cobalt is just getting started. Singers take their turn on stage to belt out tunes that tend toward the hip-hop and rap side of the songbook, although one particular highlight was pretty smooth rendition of “Fat Bottomed Girls.” If you don’t take your karaoke too seriously, want to party with the 20 to 35-year-old crowd, and are okay waking up with a headache on Tuesday morning, this is your jam.

Vancouver bars and restaurants for weeknight revelry
While Boxcar and the Cobalt might technically be two separate establishments with different names, it’s kind of like they’re in the same house with two separate bedrooms. On one side is the Cobalt, which gets particularly packed on Mondays for Earmuffs Karaoke and Wednesdays for SNAG, the weekly live painting art raffle. When you feel like popping a squat for a drink, walk about 10 metres north to the Boxcar for one of many beers on tap or a wicked cocktail. It’s bar hopping without even having to go outside.

Best venues to catch a live show in Vancouver
This punk haven has gone through a number of changes in recent years, opening a brand new sidebar (a beer-lovers paradise known as the Boxcar) and becoming East Van’s main LGBTQ event space. Weekly events include karaoke and a live art raffle, with local and touring indie, punk, rock, pop and psych acts rolling through regularly.
