Weddings are a time to bring people together – whether it’s long lost relatives reuniting or mutual friends meeting for the first time. For the bride and groom, it’s often a once in a lifetime chance to have their nearest and dearest all in the one place, at the one time.
In the spirit of getting together, the hen’s party is just as good of an excuse to enjoy the simple joy of time spent in good company. No matter where you live, what style of wedding you’re hosting or how many people you’re inviting along, we believe the biggest driving force of all decision-making during this time should always be about creating space and time for you and your loved ones.
There are plenty of different options you’ve got when it comes to your hen’s party, but there is one that takes the cake for us. Karaoke! This age-old pastime brings people together like few other activities. Nothing is more liberating than belting out a 80s banger or embracing a soulful 90s ballad, knowing that every single person in the room has to listen to you stretch for those high notes.
For karaoke hen’s parties in Brisbane, you’re absolutely spoiled for choice! The city is home to an incredible range of karaoke bars, with options to suit every taste, budget and group size. To save you the time of having to look through them all in search of the perfect one, we’ve put together a list of the city’s best picks. Read on to discover Brisbane’s best karaoke bars.
Top 5 Karaoke Bars in Brisbane
1. Greaser – Fortitude Valley
Every Thursday at 9pm, Greaser transforms from an American-inspired bar to the ultimate karaoke destination. With walls adorned with vintage photographs and bluesy rock’n’roll vibes everywhere you look, it’s the perfect place to belt out a rendition of Livin’ on a Prayer with your mates.
On top of the sweet, sweet tunes that will fill your night, you’ll also have access to an epic range of food and beverages. Just like the décor, the drinks and bar menu are American influenced, with the likes of Pickleback cocktails and cheeseburgers to line the stomach. The cherry on top is the burger and beer deal, which will keep you fed and hydrated for just $15. If you can’t wait until 9pm for the fun to start, you can roll up earlier in the night for Greaser’s weekly comedy event too.
