The Mint Karaoke Lounge in San Francisco is a fun, open-for-everyone karaoke place and a favorite Bay Area karaoke joint. It offers a one-of-a-kind karaoke experience on an inclusive, open stage with a karaoke jockey. The song selection is very broad and the equipment is good. It can get busy, with long wait times to sing. The venue is connected to a sushi restaurant that will bring food into the bar, which is a big plus. Readers are reminded that this is a neighborhood karaoke bar; it is cash only and the only bathroom is in the restaurant. Parking is generally free on the street. It is a welcoming spot for locals, visitors, and all kinds of groups, maintaining a vibrant atmosphere for decades.
Had such a great time at The Mint! The bartenders were super friendly; the atmosphere was fun and eclectic. Props to KJ Jason - . Come early to get on the rotation and find a table especially if you have a larger party. This spot is a must if you love karaoke in The City...

Cash only is a minor annoyance, but the vibes are good!

I've been coming here for 20 years, and I hope I can for 20 more.
