Ego's

"Technically, this isn’t a speakeasy, but since the bar is located within a parking garage on South Congress, you have to know exactly where you’re looking to visit Austin’s best karaoke bar. On weekends, there’s usually a line out the door, and if you want to sing, you best believe you have to get there early. Order wild shots for liquid courage while waiting for your turn." - Darcie Duttweiler

"See if you’re in tune with your date at this beloved high-energy karaoke bar that’s a bit of old Austin on South Congress. The bar serves cheap, no-frills drinks for anyone needing a courage boost before performing on the main stage. Expect a lively crowd on weekends." - Erin Russell

"It won’t feel like a Sunday at this underground SoCo karaoke bar. Open until 2 a.m., Ego’s offers Austinites a chance to belt out their favorite tunes on stage and down wild ‘n’ crazy shots, beers, and classic cocktails before the week officially begins. Warning: Monday may not be pretty." - Darcie Duttweiler

"Ego’s has been an Austin institution for over 40 years now, and it’s probably one of the few remaining spots on South Congress Avenue where you won’t spend $6 on a Lone Star. Ego’s is open every night, with karaoke from 8pm-2am. Just remember, this is a public karaoke spot, so come ready to show off what you’ve been practicing in the shower or whatever you decide to belt out after three shots of tequila.  " - nicolai mccrary

"Ego’s has been an Austin institution for over 40 years now, and it’s probably one of the few remaining spots on South Congress Avenue where you won’t spend $6 (or more) for a Lone Star. Ego’s is open every night, with karaoke from 8pm-2am. They’ve also spent those last four decades building up a big fan base, so don’t be surprised to see the place jam-packed. There’s only one main karaoke stage, so come ready to show off what you’ve been practicing in the shower.  " - nicolai mccrary
