Maine has no true karaoke lounges with private rooms, which means if you want to sing with friends, you're going to sing with everyone in the bar. Down some liquid courage and show off your pipes at one of these musically-inclined establishments, ranging from Biddeford to Bangor, sushi bar to bowling alley.

Note: map points are ordered roughly south to north. Did we miss your favorite karaoke club? Sing its praises loud and proud in the comments section.
