Where to karaoke in Chicago on a Saturday night?

Question

I love irony. That's why I want to karaoke Saturday night. What are some good bars (or even a resource where I could find info) that offer karaoke Saturday night in the North of Chicago?

I know about Lincoln Karaoke, and, yes, it's pretty great. However, I am looking for something w/o the private rooms.

Extra points if your answer is near Andersonville/Lincoln Square.

Extra EXTRA points if your answer is the lounge of a bad Chinese restaurant that still smells of smoke depite the fact that cigarettes have been banned all year.

Answer 1

There is the Hidden Cove over on Lincoln Ave in Lincoln Square. It's not the classiest place in the world (think plastic palm trees and Christmas lights) but it's a lot of fun and it's super easy to find parking over there.

It's one of those places people absolutely love or absolutely hate. It's a complete dive, so don't expect froo froo drinks (personally I suggest sticking to drinks served in a bottle) and you'll be fine.
