karaoke bar

Microphone-equipped tavern

A karaoke bar is a venue where patrons sing along to recorded music, typically with lyrics displayed on a screen.

Some have private rooms for groups; others feature a stage where singers perform for the whole bar.

The atmosphere usually involves drinking and encouraging amateur performers: We ended up at a karaoke bar until 2 a.m.
