Hit that high – here are the best karaoke bars on the Gold Coast in 2025
We’ll admit it – we’re not quite reaching Mariah Carey levels, but that won’t stop us from giving it a go. Whether your go-to is a Whitney ballad or you’ve mastered the first verse of Lose Yourself, grab the crew and warm up those vocal cords. Here’s where to sing your heart out at the best karaoke bars on the Gold Coast.
Roji Cat, Miami: Tucked down Lemana Lane, Roji Cat Beer Bar isn’t just a standout Japanese brewery and neon-lit hideaway – it also offers a private karaoke room that’s become a firm local favourite. The sound-proof lounge, styled like a Tokyo hideaway, accommodates about 12 guests (ten seated plus two singers up front) and can be booked in 30-minute to two-hour slots. Best of all, you can drinks via QR code from inside the room so you can keep the energy alive in between sets. Whether you’re in for Japanese street food, craft brews or a night of belting your heart out, Roji Cat delivers an experience that fuses style, flavour and karaoke all in one.
Holey Moley, Surfers Paradise: Mini golf, cocktails and karaoke – now that’s a triple threat. After you’ve conquered nine holes and taken a victory lap at the Caddyshack Bar (we recommend a Long Island Iced Tee to loosen up those vocals), duck into one of Holey Moley’s private karaoke rooms for a sing-off with your crew. The soundproof spaces are decked out for full-blown performances, minus the public pressure, so you can belt out your favourite ballads or butcher a banger in peace.
Tune-Up Bar & Karaoke Studios, Surfers Paradise: Tucked up a flight of stairs beside Elsewhere on Cavill Avenue, Tune-Up Bar & Karaoke Studios remains a hidden karaoke gem in Surfers Paradise. The setting is cosy and intimate, like a private party in someone’s living room, but with much better sound gear. On any given night, you can take the open-mic stage or book a private karaoke room for you and your crew. Karaoke runs nightly until 3:00 am. The bar stays open to keep you hydrated while you work your way through your best catalogue of hits.
