We take singing seriously in the South. Yes, after staying here in Cebu for almost four years, I realized just how much they love karaoke like we do in Manila. Hence, there’s no shortage of cool karaoke places in Cebu City.
This holiday season, I figured I’d share with you a few awesome places where you can hang out with your friends, family or co-workers. If your idea of bonding is singing Adele’s ballads, mimicking Bruno Mars or performing all Air Supply hits for hours, Cebu has karaoke bars that can satisfy your wants and whims!
For the planner in the group, I included telephone numbers, rates and other important information you need to live out your fantasies and be a star or singing sensation for a night.

P.S. Five is so few. I’m sure there are more karaoke hangout spots that I haven’t included on this list. Feel free to suggest other karaoke places that I haven’t mentioned. Thanks and have a blast! 🙂
