"Open since 1993, The Mint is one of the oldest karaoke bars in San Francisco. Located right around the corner from the actual Mint—that big official-looking building—this Mint doesn’t print money. Instead, it’s the spot to sing an entire Eminem song from memory on a small 180° stage surrounded by a field of strobe lights. There’s a two-drink minimum, and tips are expected at the karaoke DJ booth if you want a shot of getting a song in. It gets packed, so come early." - Ricky Rodriguez
