      As the Alamo Drafthouse’s adult entertainment emporium, the Highball has no equal in town when it comes to passing time creatively. With six themed karaoke rooms and a large downstairs stage that hosts regular karaoke events, the Highball delivers plenty of options when it comes to exploring your American Idol dreams.

      Threadgill’s World Headquarters has been on the Austin scene for decades. Janis Joplin got her start singing weeknights at the flagship North Lamar location. These days, the Beergarden on Riverside is home to a nice balance of local acts and smaller touring shows.
