Monster Ronson's Ichiban Karaoke

Monster Ronson's Ichiban Karaoke, a Berlin fixture since 2008, is where you go to sing. An American expat opened it in Friedrichshain, and it's been a party spot ever since.

This isn't a bar that happens to have karaoke. This is karaoke. It's got that trashy-cool rock 'n' roll vibe down—think disco balls and dim lights, all signaling a good time. You'll find ten private cabins if you want to belt out power ballads with just your friends, or two bigger rooms for a larger group. The whole place feels clubby and unpretentious, which is exactly what you want when you're singing "Bohemian Rhapsody" off-key.

They sometimes have live bands or special parties, so check their website or social media to see what's on. But usually, it's just about the singing.

You'll find it at 38 Warschauer Straße. They don't really have a set closing time, but it's always late, so plan on singing until the early hours. If you're looking for a fun, LGBTQ+-friendly night out in Berlin, and singing is on the menu, this is the place.
