WHAT'S ON

Some people just gotta sing...and karaoke (and maybe a few stiff drinks) gives them the courage to flaunt their talent in front of a real audience. Bring along a few friends, and it could turn into a fun-filled and memorable evening.

There are several restaurants and bars in Antigua that feature Karaoke Evenings, complete with sound system, lyrics on the monitor, and a ready-made but sometimes raucous audience. The fun usually starts around 9 pm at each location.

Among the favorites in Antigua:
King’s Casino on Sunday nights -- karaoke and drink specials in the lounge of this Heritage Quay casino
The Majestic Isle Casino on Tuesday nights -- singing in the lounge of this glitzy casino adds star power
The Crow’s Nest on Wednesday nights -- this restaurant and family pub throws in wings, poutine and beer bucket specials as an additional incentive
BeachLimerZ on Thursday nights -- lots oflocal talent shows up at this popular beachside venue, and a party usually ensues
The Blu Pineapple on Thursday nights – with bucket of beer specials and prizes given for most entertaining and talented
C&C Wine Bar on Saturday nights --  billed as "the ultimate karaoke experience," this place even has scoring

You definitely have choices with venues open five nights a week--take a look at where to go, warm up your vocal chords, and be ready for an evening of song, laughter and maybe even prizes!
