Ask Seattlest: Where to Go for Karaoke?

A reader asks:

I gots a question for you, Mr. Seattlest. People at work are looking for a good Karaoke venue. You heard tell of any? Friends from work want to do it Weds. night. Looking for more "hip" than unhip; more top 40/seventies/big band than modern country, etc. Everyone knows there are lots in the Int'l District, but we're not looking for a William Hung outing, to laugh at furriners. We want to have fun our own selves.

Sunset Bowl has karaoke, but it's bad---C&W regulars who take it too seriously, who all know each other, etc. Drunk biker chicks singing "stand by your man."

Any thoughts appreciated.

We've never done karaoke -- we're painfully aware of our own lack of talent, and not all that inclined to get drunk enough to forget it. But we put the call out to Seattlest HQ, where a crack squad of fun-finders came up with several suggestions:

Kim: "the rickshaw in BFE greenwood is the best. i think it's like 105th or something." [We know where the Rickshaw is, but what's BFE greenwood?]

Audrey: "I love karaoke! My favorite spot is the Twilight Exit. Hipsteraoke at its finest."

Dan: 'Isn't the Comet supposed to have decent karaoke? Also the twilight exit?"

Donte: "bush gardens
rickshaw
i think twilight exit has it on certain nights to
doesn't vito's have it too? r place?

i don't do karaoke, so these are from a friend that does."

Have we overlooked a particularly thrilling karaoke oasis? Especially one that hosts it on Wednesday night? Let us know in the comments.
