In a landslide victory,
the Mint Karaoke Lounge won our readers' hearts as the best place to go let
loose, have a beer, and sing "American Pie" and other cheesy karaoke
favorites. The Mint also has theme nights..." |

"Karaoke
The next time you feel like shaking up your on-the-town
martini routine, grab a pose and pile into the Mint to join a mixed
crowd of regulars, birthday boys and girls, and the occasional morose
going-away party (never over until "Leaving On A Jet Plane" has been
bawled). Serenade the patrons, or just sit back, close your eyes, and soak
up the scene. Some nights, when you get lucky, you'd swear it really was
Whitney, Stevie, and Celine..." |

"At the Mint our readers find a safe, cheesy environment for karaoke
therapy. It has "Rose Garden" and pretty much any other song that would
occur to the highly inebriated to sing. More important, there's a crowd of
regulars who will forgive you for singing it. If you go on Saturday or
Sunday, prepare to be outclassed; these people practice. 1942 Market,

"Best Karaoke
At the Mint Karaoke Lounge, you can release your pent-up urges to become
Karen Carpenter, Brian Johnson, or a funkalicious diva. Packed with
gorgeous, talented folks who are truly in it for the love of a cheesy
song, the Mint is usually queer-friendly in the best possible way
(meaning that it's friendly to people who are queer, people who are not
queer, and people who don't need no stinkin' labels). The best part
about the Mint's regulars is that they often change the lyrics of the
songs they sing in subtle or outrageous ways. Watch for the heavenly,
seductive Julia, whose funk-powered songs always remind listeners that
they've never been to me. 1942 Market, S.F. (415) 626-4726" |
