There really is nothing better than a classic Thursday night out in Iowa City. It’s the time for amateur shower singers to hit the stage, drink a little too much and sing their hearts out.

Best Places to Karaoke in Iowa City:

  • Bo-James (Thursday nights)
  • Blue Moose (Thursday nights)
  • Studio Thirteen (Thursday nights)
  • Mosley’s (Tuesday nights)
  • Mickey’s (Friday nights)
  • Shakespeare’s (Saturday nights)
  • Bubblelogy Karaoke Café
