Best karaoke bars in Amsterdam

Casablanca

Halfway down the Zeedijk, Casablanca is a name that haunts the minds of many waking up the morning after. As one of the oldest karaoke bars in the city, expect creaky wooden floors, a mini stage and a lively crowd that’s always ready to sing along with you. Get your song requests in early and expect at least one rendition per evening of Natasha Beddingfield’s Unwritten to bring the house down.

Open: Wednesday & Thursday, 20:00 - 03:00; Friday & Saturday, 20:00 - 04:00.

Casablanca | Zeedijk 26, Centrum

Duke of Tokyo

Step into the neon-lit universe of revelry at Duke of Tokyo near Leidseplein, a karaoke bar designed to look like the bustling backstreets of Japan.

With immersive decor and electric energy, the atmosphere is sure to level up your karaoke performance.

Aloha

Aloha isn’t just a karaoke bar, it’s a full-on experience. Set along the River IJ, this tropical-themed hotspot combines karaoke with bowling, glow-in-the-dark mini-golf, and laser games. With vibrant cocktails and a laid-back beachy vibe, it’s the perfect venue for groups looking to mix singing with a bit of playful competition.

Coco's Outback

Coco’s Outback is a lively Australian pub that transforms into a karaoke hotspot every Thursday night. With its energetic crowd, it’s the perfect place to let loose, grab a drink, and belt out your favourite tunes, whether that’s a power ballad from the ‘80s, a slightly off-key rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody, or Wonderwall for the fifth time that night.

Open: Karaoke Thursdays, from 22:30

Coco’s Outback | Thorbeckeplein 8-12, Centrum

The End

All locals know the place to conclude a night is one location along the Zeedijk: The End. This notorious karaoke bar is a lively spot for locals, visitors and groups of colleagues who should have gone home directly after the office drinks. Sticky floors and jostling at the bar to get your song choice played add to the experience. Be assured, you’ll hear everything from Dutch crooners to that one Spanish-speaker who knows every lyric to Despacito. 

Open: daily from 20:00 - 03:00

The End | Nieuwezijds Kolk 25, Centrum
