The 7 Best Karaoke Bars In Austin - Austin - The Infatuation

"Most people probably know of The Highball as “that bar attached to the Alamo Drafthouse on South Lamar,” but we think that they deserve some credit for doing a lot of things well, most notably karaoke. There are seven different rooms—each with a different theme and capacity—so whether you want to sing “Starman” in a space-themed room, or belt out “Highway To Hell” in a 22-person party room that looks like a satanic altar, all you need to do is make a reservation." - nicolai mccrary

The Highball - Review - Zilker - Austin - The Infatuation

"Most people probably know of The Highball as “that bar attached to the Alamo Drafthouse on South Lamar,” but we think that they deserve some credit for doing a lot of things well. There’s a long bar where you can order all the same food and drinks you can get in the theater—no ticket required. Then there’s the large stage inside that hosts nightly events, including live music, trivia, and drag shows. Finally, there’s the seven different karaoke rooms—each with a different theme and capacity—where you and up to 21 friends can belt out whatever seems appropriate in a satanic altar-themed room." - Nicolai McCrary

Booked a private karaoke room at Highball for my birthday with friends and we had an amazing experience. Our server was extremely attentive, and the food and drinks we all great. The karaoke itself was also great, as the selection of songs was extensive and the system for queuing up songs worked seamlessly. My only nitpick is the room I was in (Joysticks) has a maximum of 14 guests. My group had 12, and everywhere to sit was taken. Granted, most of the time people were standing so it wasn’t a big deal, but worth considering a bigger room if you want more space. I’d love to come back.

The was the first time checking out the bar. I'm glad a 90s group was performing there that night cause it was good music to listen too while chilling with a friend. I liked the seating area as well. Even though I didn't dance the dance floor was a decent size.

I wish I could tell you that I had a great time. However, I guess this karaoke bar doesn't really cater to solo karaoke people. Because you at least gotta have a two people minimum. so even though I wanted to have a fun time by myself, I was denied being able to pay for the karaoke room. I don't really understand why if I'm willing to pay the actual charges for it. But I guess that's the way things go.

I am so impressed and had such an amazing 25th birthday here at the Highball. I am so thankful to our server Wes - he is absolutely INCREDIBLE and made me and my guest feel so special and well taken care of. I can’t recommend him enough. We had such a great time. We booked the Big Top room and had amazing food/drink service. I can’t wait to celebrate or come again just for fun. I truly can’t thank the staff and Wes enough for taking care of us and I am truly thankful. Highly recommend for group karaoke!

Fun place to go to as a group. Most of the time their website is down so you can't sign up early online. Sometimes they host events so you can't get a room during that which is frustrating. It's hard to tell when those events are since their website barely works. You might end up like us and drive over an hour to go to celebrate a birthday just to be told to wait for an hour because of an event going on downstairs.

I love everything about this place! I had the honor of performing here and it’s always an awesome time. The staff is extremely accommodating, professional and amazing. Someone who really stood out to me was Delta. She was always extremely sweet and attentive, my go to bartender everytime! You’re missing out if you haven’t stopped by the Highball.

An awesome place to do karaoke! The themed rooms are a lot of fun and they recently expanded their song library substantially. They also have great shows and events so if you are looking for something different with a great vibe and g9od service I highly recommend it!

I went to The Highball last night to see Mortified, and the show itself was fantastic. Unfortunately, the bar staff really dampened the evening. The bartenders were noticeably rude, snappy, and dismissive when taking orders. It made the atmosphere less welcoming than it should have been. The entertainment was great, but the service definitely needs work.
