Washington D.C. Karaoke Bars

|
Perhaps one of the best ways to improve one’s self-esteem is to watch other people make idiots out of themselves by performing terrible renditions of "Achy Breaky Heart" and "I Will Survive." Seriously, karaoke is fun for just about everyone involved, whether it’s the giggling lot in the corner, the aspiring diva on the stage or the drunk guy who loves singing off key. Especially in the chaotic, political world of Washington DC, karaoke bars are popular for everyone who needs to take a break from the serious and indulge in the inane. In the predominately gay neighborhood of Dupont Circle, karaoke has evolved into an all out show with the inclusion of sassy sexy drag performers and disco lights. Peyote Café in the Adams Morgan neighborhood is fond of serving karaoke with a shot of tequila, and the music selections are unbeatable.
