Best Karaoke Springfield Near Me

Jaclyn Shaw: Fun

Tonya Campbell: I was very nice.

Hannah Short: They charge you for water… AT A BAR.

Brian Harris: Would have giving this 5 stars but the DJ was my issue. I asked to do the song old man by Neil Young and he said no. That hurt me because I have been wanting to go sing publicly for 10 years and finally got the courage to do it and was shot down. He says they don't do sad songs well I didn't know it was sad.

Nicholas Childress: DJ Caleb is absolutely the worst. It’s fairly sad, and quite hilarious, but he gets on a power trip while playing karaoke music. His attitude is always really unpleasant, and will consistently scold patrons for the way they’re singing, or their song selection. Friends is actually a really cool place to go, but the DJs taste in music and attitude are so tone deaf that it physically hurts. I’ve met many below average wedding DJs who have a better selection. One of the worst things is that there is almost always a huge line of people waiting to sing, and he constantly plays one of his preset overplayed songs and ruins the vibe. I’ve been a patron of this bar many times, but at this point I don’t think I’ll be returning because it’s just not fun anymore. I love this place but he makes it hard.

Tony Perkins: We were a little disappointed when we visited this past weekend. The drink price for a call Vodka mix was $11.50, which seemed high. They had no waitress serving drinks but they did have a shot girl pushing unwanted colorful garbage on us. We will probably avoid going back again.

All things New: Thurs- sat best days to go. Love the atmosphere

Sandy Schulze: Clean, small, friendly staff, no smoking inside. My daughter and I had a blast..so fun. Would go back if in area again.

Angela Tolles: Great place to meet up with friends

Regina M Goodman: Great bartender, remembered my name and drink. DJ is a lil annoying... show up at 9pm with over a dozen women, sign us up to sing "All I want for Christmas is you" by 9:30, Three of us asked when were singing and he give a different answer to each of us and all were lies... he didn't call us up to sing till after midnight and the girls were so wasted by that point only 4 of us went up there!BBQ nachos are descent. They took away glasses of water and said that I had to have bottled water and it costs $2... I'm a person that eats my ice so why wouldn't you offer a glass of ice water for $2 or even better a glass of ice with your bottled water.We were playing pool and had alcoholic beverages so why not accommodate?!

TrooperTy925: Love coming here!

Leann Guenzel: Very VERY busy. Barely had room to move. 2 Womens restrooms but each only had one toilet so there was always lines at both. Hard to get to the bar to get a drink.... people shoulder to shoulder. Very overwhelming

Darren Lopez: I would to say on behalf of myself and my colleagues that Friends Karaoke Pub has great Food 🍔, great music 🎶, amazing Karaoke 🎤, awesome Bartenders 🍸🍹.

J phunk punk: It was fine. Honestly, I'm too old for bars these days. It's a great spot for younger people. Staff is very friendly and they have karaoke.

Kathlyn Rodrigues: Great bar! Best atmosphere that I have been to in a long time!

Nichole Kunkel: A great place to hang with friends and solid people watching!

Brian Matney: They have very friendly staff here!!

Bradley Copeland: Friendly staff, but some sketchy people in the crowd tbh. Other than that it's a pretty good place to chill. Better than most bars in town. Pretty waitresses and they care if you want therapy. Anyway. I like it.

Samir Muranjan: Great place to hang with friends and have some good clean fun.

Angie Massey: The owner will judge you for how you are and will judge you for how you smell I went in there and brand new clothes me and my fiance took our friend there tonight and we did not smell at all I just got off work and he wants to judge and then we got kicked off the property or they would call the police this is not a place for anybody to go to thank you

Micki and GoGo: It's a cute little bar, more than a dive, and very friendly. I definitely will be back!Parking: Not many spots to park, but there is a back parking lot too that could probably be used also

Kelli Adkins: Step Child's has been a great place to go for many, many years.

Sarah Lexie: My first rime there and it was amazing! Everyone was so nice and the whole bar gave off a fun vibe. Prices were great and the drinks were really good. I cant wait to experience karaoke and I recommend you come here and enjoy yourselves.

Josh French: Great little hole in the wall. Tiny little bar, comfortable, and good karaoke.

Bruce “NotACop” B: An amazing little dive, great patrons amazing bartenders. Karaoke thursday friday sat, trivia on sundays and free pool on mondays! An amazing place to grab a drink socialize and meet new friends. Um still super awesome and quaint bartenders keep getting better!

Megan Mans: Great prices, fun atmosphere

Lydia Hennesay: This was the second bar my husband, Matt and I visited in Springfield when we moved here 2 and a half years ago. We have tried several other bars in town but not one of them was special enough for Matt and myself to call our bar! The Stepchild on other hand is exactly the kind of bar that we our proud to call ours!! We were welcomed by all from the very start! 😍 The stepchild has live music once or twice a week. Wednesday through Thursday, starting at 9pm they have karaoke. The DJ's that preside over the karaoke nights are the absolute best!! Shout out to m Corey! # Bang, Bang, Bang!! Vamonos, vamonos!! All the bartenders are just amazing! By the time we get up to the bar proper they are already drawing our usual. The patrons of the Stepchild are not just regulars they are friends and family!! I love this var!!!

E N (Zak): Best dive bar with the largest cast of karaoke characters

Cory Henningsen: Came here at the end of 2010 when I was in a bad place and in rough shape and quickly made a ton of friends. Who knew that within a year's time I would have had life-changing experiences here including incredible gain and incredible loss, but I wouldn't change a moment. After life continued to give me polarized experiences, I still returned to the same faces. Lost my best friend here. Gained my wife of 10 years here. Cried and laughed my hardest here. I'm now about 10 1/2 years into my employment with Cross Entertainment and about a 1 1/2 years into regularity of serving karaoke here as a contractor and I have this to say:This is the best bar in Springfield. Staff actually tries to remember everyone and make positive connections. They generally allow for people to do what they want as long as it isn't illegal, destructive, or hurtful towards others and you'll see varieties of activities such as D&D, people reading books in silence, themed parties, accepting food deliveries, holding fundraisers, etc...This is an "order-at-the-bar" establishment. You won't be served tableside and the one-star complaint regarding not being served is simply a case of mistaken context. Quite a few people hang out in the bar without drinking for a while and prefer the seclusion and silence. I've done it plenty. So the bar staff generally respects your time and privacy if you appear to want to be left alone. Want a drink? Walk up and order. Also, about it being "impossible" to order while it's busy--its not. They have a mirror and system down for who approached and when they will get to you. Just like anywhere else, when it gets busy, it gets busy and there will be a wait. My advice is to send one person from your party to order and retrieve your drinks to relieve some congestion.It gets STUPID packed on weekend karaoke nights and when local musical artists perform, so plan accordingly. Parking is rough, considering neighboring businesses refusing to offer spaces, but the nearest parking isn't too far off. You'd have to walk further downtown but having to cross one street by 70' is somehow the world's biggest tragedy. Lol You walk further while in Walmart. Also, if you want to ensure you get your songs in for karaoke, showing up sooner than later is best. At about 3-5 minutes per song, only about 12-18 singers could reasonably sing per hour, provided they're ready to sing right away once the preceding song finishes. So a night with an "at capacity" attendance will almost certainly see a packed list. I advise being attentive and responsive to when your name is called to help reduce the wait time for others and informing karaoke staff when you're leaving so you get removed from the list.There are plenty of events around the year including BBQ competitions, major holiday parties, fundraisers, live music, memorial services, birthdays, wedding receptions...you name it! Yes, there are some people who stay all day from open to last call and there are those who pop in to say "hello" and leave. Out of all the bars I've been to in this town since I turned 21 fourteen years ago, this one is by far the best.
