The best karaoke in Singapore is whichever one fits the night you have in mind, and that is a wider spread than most people realise. Karaoke here is a private-room affair, which is the whole appeal: you and your group get your own room and your own microphone, so there is none of the stage fright that comes with singing in front of strangers. That one difference is why it works for everyone from a shy pair to a rowdy office party.
The real decision is what kind of session you want. A cheap afternoon belting out songs with your own snacks is a very different thing from a late-night KTV with a full bar and staff bringing drinks until sunrise. So I have split my picks between family and budget KTV on one side and nightlife KTV on the other, with the price model spelled out for each.
This is part of my Terris Recommends Entertainment series and a companion to my guide to the best indoor activities in Singapore.
Key Takeaways
- 1 Karaoke in Singapore is a private-room affair, so you sing with your own group, not in front of strangers. The main choice is between family or budget KTV and late-night nightlife KTV.
- 2 Teo Heng is my overall pick for affordable, no-frills, bring-your-own rooms with branches across the island.
- 3 For free-flow snacks and drinks, HaveFun and Jewel Music Box give the best value; for themed rooms and celebrations, K.Star stands out.
- 4 For a proper night out with a full bar and a Mandarin song catalogue open until dawn, Party World and ZPLUS are the nightlife picks.
- 5 Prices range from around S$5 to S$25 per person per hour depending on the venue and whether food and drinks are included.
What I look for in a karaoke spot
All KTVs give you a room and a screen, but the good ones get the details right. Here is what I weigh up.
- Value for your group. Karaoke is priced either per room per hour or per person, sometimes with free-flow food and drinks bundled in. The best-value option depends entirely on your group size, so I have flagged the pricing model for each.
- Song library. A deep, up-to-date catalogue across English, Mandarin and other languages is what keeps a session going. The nightlife venues tend to have the strongest Mandarin libraries.
- Room comfort and sound. Decent speakers, comfortable seating and a room that is the right size for your group make a real difference over a few hours.
- Food and drink policy. Some venues let you bring your own, some do free-flow packages, and the nightlife spots run a full bar. This is often the biggest swing in the final bill.
- Location and hours. A branch near you, open at the hours you want, matters. The budget chains are everywhere; the late-night venues cluster around town.
My practical tip: work out whether you are paying for the room or per person before you book, and check the food policy. That is where the value is won or lost.

1. Teo Heng KTV Studio
Teo Heng is my overall pick, and for a lot of Singaporeans the word is practically a synonym for karaoke. It has been going since 1989, and the appeal is simple: clean, no-frills rooms at genuinely affordable prices, with branches all over the island so there is usually one near you. There is no bar and no free-flow, but you are welcome to bring your own food and soft drinks, which keeps the cost right down.
That bring-your-own, no-alcohol model makes it the best choice for a straightforward, sober singing session, whether that is students after class, a family afternoon or a group who just want to sing without a big bill. Rooms are charged per hour and are cheaper during off-peak daytime slots.

2. HaveFun Karaoke
HaveFun is where I point students and budget-minded groups who still want food and drinks included. It runs a large number of outlets across malls and community spots, and its draw is genuinely low per-person pricing with free-flow soft drinks, plus student promotions that make an afternoon session cost very little. It is bright, casual and easy to just turn up to.
The song library is solid across the popular languages, and the room sizes suit everything from a few friends to a mid-sized group. If your priority is maximum singing time for minimum spend, with snacks and drinks thrown in, HaveFun is hard to beat.

3. K.Star Karaoke
K.Star is my pick for celebrations and anyone who wants their session to look as good as it sounds. Its outlets are known for elaborately themed rooms, from cartoon and movie themes to plush party rooms, which makes it a favourite for birthdays and for the photos afterwards. Rooms scale up to large group sizes, so it handles a proper party well.
It sits a notch above the pure-budget chains on both style and price, but for an occasion that is exactly the point. The flagship at Orchard Central and outlets like Plaza Singapura and Clarke Quay are easy to reach for a night in town.

4. Jewel Music Box
Jewel Music Box is the value pick for families and groups who want the most singing time for their money. Its calling card is generous packages that bundle three hours of room time with free-flow drinks and snacks for a low per-person price, especially on weekday off-peak slots. That format takes the sting out of the bill and lets you settle in for a proper session.
Its outlets sit within community clubs and clubhouses around the island, which makes it a natural heartland choice, and several stay open late. For a relaxed, well-priced session where nobody is watching the clock, it is a great shout.

5. Cash Studio Family Karaoke Box
Cash Studio is a dependable family karaoke box that has been a fixture of the casual KTV scene for years. It keeps things wallet-friendly, with an up-to-date song list and outlets in convenient spots like Cuppage Plaza, Clarke Quay Central and heartland malls. It is the kind of unpretentious place you go to sing without any fuss.
Some packages include snacks and drinks, and the rooms suit small to mid-sized groups well. If Teo Heng is full or there is a branch of Cash Studio closer to you, it is an easy like-for-like alternative for a casual family or friends outing.

6. Party World KTV
Party World is my pick when the plan is a proper night out rather than an afternoon sing-along. This is nightlife KTV in the classic mould, with a huge Mandarin and English catalogue, a full bar serving beer, wine and spirits, and outlets that stay open until the early hours. It is where you go when you want staff bringing drinks and the session to run late.
With branches at Liang Court, VivoCity, NEX and beyond, it is easy to find, and the rooms are built for groups who want to make a night of it. It is pricier than the budget chains once you factor in the bar, but that is the trade for the atmosphere and the late hours.

7. ZPLUS KTV
ZPLUS is the stylish, upscale nightlife option in the heart of Orchard. Set in Pacific Plaza on Scotts Road, it leans into a sleek, space-themed look with neon interiors and a reputation for good sound, and it rounds out the experience with proper food, from snacks and charcuterie to steak platters, alongside a full drinks list. It feels a cut above the standard KTV.
With a manageable number of rooms and a central location, it suits style-conscious groups who want a late session in town without the scale of the big chains. If you want your nightlife KTV to feel like a night out at a nice venue, this is the one.

Location: Pacific Plaza, 9 Scotts Road, #05-01

8. K Bowling Club
K Bowling Club earns a spot for anyone who wants karaoke as part of a bigger night rather than the whole event. Its 313@Somerset venue pairs karaoke booths with cosmic bowling, darts, pool and a full bar, so a group can drift between activities across an evening. It is a great answer when your friends cannot agree on just one thing to do.
The karaoke here is charged by time or per song rather than as a cheap all-night room, so it is not the pick for a dedicated budget session. But as one ingredient in a lively Orchard Road night out, it works brilliantly.

How much does karaoke cost in Singapore?
Karaoke pricing depends on whether you pay per room or per person, and whether food and drinks are included. As a rough guide for 2026:
| Type | Typical price |
|---|---|
| Budget bring-your-own room (Teo Heng) | About S$13 to S$25 per room per hour |
| Per-person free-flow package | About S$5 to S$15 per person |
| Themed rooms for celebrations | From around S$7 to S$10 per person for promos |
| Nightlife KTV with full bar | Higher, with drinks charged on top |
The cheapest sessions are weekday off-peak slots at the budget chains, especially if you bring your own snacks where that is allowed. Free-flow packages give the best value for bigger groups, while nightlife venues cost more once the bar is added. Always check the current rate and any minimum spend on the venue's own site.
How I put this list together
These are my own picks, not a paid directory. I focused on the things that decide whether a karaoke session is good value and good fun: the pricing model and what it includes, the song library, room comfort, the food and drink policy, and how consistently each venue is reviewed. I have spread the list across budget, family, themed and nightlife options so there is a sensible choice whatever the occasion.
Details and prices are checked at the time of writing, and I revisit this guide as venues open, close and change their packages. One note worth making: the karaoke scene turns over, and some once-popular chains have shut, so I have only listed venues confirmed to be operating. Always confirm the current package directly with the venue before you go.
How much does karaoke cost per hour in Singapore?
A budget bring-your-own room at a chain like Teo Heng runs about S$13 to S$25 per room per hour, cheaper during weekday off-peak slots. Per-person free-flow packages cost roughly S$5 to S$15 per person, while nightlife KTVs charge more once bar drinks are added.
Which karaoke in Singapore has free-flow food and drinks?
HaveFun and Jewel Music Box are known for free-flow packages that bundle drinks and snacks into a low per-person price, and several K.Star and Cash Studio packages include refreshments too. Teo Heng does not do free-flow but lets you bring your own.
Can you bring your own food and drinks to karaoke?
At Teo Heng you can bring your own food and soft drinks, which is a big part of why it is so affordable, though alcohol is not allowed. Policies vary elsewhere, so check before you go, as the free-flow and nightlife venues generally want you buying from them.
What is the best family-friendly karaoke in Singapore?
Teo Heng, Cash Studio and Jewel Music Box are all great for families, with affordable rooms, no alcohol-driven atmosphere and outlets in convenient heartland spots. Teo Heng's bring-your-own policy makes it especially easy with kids.
Which karaoke spots in Singapore are open late?
The nightlife KTVs are the late-night options: Party World and ZPLUS run into the early hours, and K Bowling Club stays open very late too. The budget family chains generally close earlier, so check the specific outlet's hours.
Need a website for your karaoke or entertainment business
When someone is planning a birthday or a night out, they search first, and the venue that shows up with clear room types, prices and easy booking wins the group. Those are high-intent local searches, and a lot of entertainment businesses lose them to a slow or confusing website.
I design and build fast, search-optimised websites for Singapore leisure and entertainment businesses, with the local SEO and clear booking-focused pages that turn searches into bookings. If your website is not bringing in enquiries, that is often the cheapest growth you can buy.

The best karaoke in Singapore comes down to the night you want. Teo Heng is my overall pick for affordable, bring-your-own singing, HaveFun and Jewel Music Box give the best free-flow value, and K.Star is the one for a themed celebration. For a late night with a full bar, Party World and ZPLUS are the nightlife picks.
Work out whether you are paying per room or per person, check the food policy, and book ahead for weekends. This is part of my Terris Recommends Entertainment series, alongside my guide to the best indoor activities in Singapore.
