pub song
Bar crowd singalong
A pub song is a tune meant to be sung communally in a tavern or bar, typically featuring simple melodies, repetitive choruses, and lyrics about drinking, camaraderie, love, or local lore.
Pub songs invite participation—patrons join in whether they know all the words or not: The whole bar launched into an old pub song nobody quite remembered.
