Once More With Feeling
Crel asks:
"Can you recommend any Karaoke Bars in Greenwich please?"
The Phantom can't, with hand on heart, recommend karaoke as an activity full stop. And unless you're a green-faced demon who can read souls, I don't recommend it as a spectator sport either...
But since you ask, I'll put my mind to it. Now. I have seen karaoke advertised in one of the pubs I've been in locally. Sadly that doesn't narrow it down very much. Was it the Vanbrugh? I can't remember. I know that the Royal Standard used to do it - I don't know whether they still do. There's a stage area upstairs at the Auctioneer - and it's the sort of studenty place that might do it.
Maybe I saw it advertised when I walked past the William IV.
No. Sorry. It's gone. I daresay there will be someone here who will know though.
But if you're planning a jolly night out, and you don't mind a trip, try the Bloomsbury Bowling Lanes - a 1950s-style bowling alley complete with 50's diner cafe area, rock & roll bands - and karaoke booths you can hire. The Phantom Webmaster did just that a few months ago. I'd show you the pics but - well - some things are best left discreetly veiled...

i believe there is karaoke at that tiki bar place (which used to be W lounge, and Powder Monkey before that). No idea if any good though
No karaoke at the Royal Standard as far as I'm aware. A little further afield, but the Anchor & Hope on the Thames at Charlton does karaoke, or at least did during the summer. On Fridays, I think?
I live near a pub that has "Karaoke" and hear much loved songs murdered on a regular basis.......Nightmare!!!!!
The British Sailor near the power station used to do karaoke, Nil by Mouth style. Don't know if it still does. Or even if its still there.
Think the Anchor and Hope's karaoke might be Sundays.
The Ship & Billet always seems to have karaoke on, not sure what night it is but they always sound like they are having fun!
British Sailor long since demolished!
The Phantom is an Angel fan, well there's a thing..
The Graduate on the corner of Greenwich South Street and Blackheath Road does it sometimes. But... you wouldn't want to join in really - the whole thing (judging from walking past the outside on various occasions) seems to be sewn up by various super-regulars with "their" songs.
Well, I you see, is one them what take his karaoke very seriously, often going to as many as three karaoke nights in a week.
But those are in venues up west and ones hosted by homosexualists, though anyone is welcome.
They have definitely had karaoke in the Anchor & Hope of a Sunday afternoon in the past, but I haven't been that way in a couple of years so can't be sure.
I think pubs go in for karaoke every now and then and it goes like a bomb to begin with but then trails off.
It's actually shocking how fast our locals are disappearing.
Hardly a month goes by without a prominent PH landmark putting up the shutters.
The Old Tigers Head in Lee went beer-belly up last year despite having served ale since Napoleonic times. Bonaparte was very partial to a pale ale.
An Angel AND a Buffy reference - good work
Tee hee - you noticed...
