Loffler's Sports Bar
Loffler's is a casual sports bar that sits on one of Anaheim's busiest thoroughfares, Katella Avenue. This makes Loffler's a convenient spot for Disneyland visitors and college kids from nearby Cal State Fullerton to sing their hearts out at reasonable prices. This bar is most famous for its pool leagues and sporting events, but live music and karaoke are still very much a part of what attracts guests. It is recommended to to call ahead because the karaoke list can fill up fast and live music reigns supreme on the weekends. Some nights also take on themes, such as country western night, so guests should be prepared with an appropriate song.

Throwbacks Sports Bar & Grill
Throwbacks Sports Bar & Grill also enjoys a prime location in Anaheim, residing less than one mile from Angels Stadium and Disneyland. If a group happens to be taking in an Angel's game on the same day that they are visiting Throwbacks, then they can jump on the bar's shuttle. It picks up and drops off passengers before and after the game. Like Loffler's, Throwbacks shows the biggest sporting events, features live music and encourages patrons to try their hands at a few games of pool. Tuesday is Throwback's big promotional day, however. It's called Taco Tuesday, and Throwback's offers these Mexican delights all-you-can-eat style for $5.95. Tuesday is also one of two karaoke nights, with the other taking place on Saturday.

House of Blues Anaheim
Inside Downtown Disney is the House of Blues Anaheim, and inside HOB is the VooDoo Karaoke Lounge. Karaoke nights kick off every Wednesday at 10:30 p.m., at which time performers who have put their name of the list line up and patrons and participants alike receive food and drink specials. This karaoke night is done in conjunction with the HOB's late night happy hour, which runs seven days a week from 10 p.m. to 1:30 a.m. Many appetizers are discounted, and specialty cocktails like hurricanes adorn the menu. Live music acts and special events may still be going on at the House of Blues' main stage, but the acoustics in the VooDoo Lounge are sophisticated enough that guests can hear the karaoke artists just fine.
