2024: Queens Voted Sissy McGinty’s Best Karaoke Bar!
Sissy McGinty’s
2567 Steinway St, Astoria
(718) 545-4286
Queens residents have chosen Sissy McGinty’s Best Karaoke Bar in Queens in this year’s Best of the Boro competition. Named for a bar in the owner’s hometown back in Ireland, this karaoke hotspot is actually an Irish bar. The more-than-an-Irish pub offers karaoke weekly, but any time there is a good time, with pool, darts and open mic nights also on the calendar. Sissy McGinty’s is BYOF (short for bring your own food), so grab a bite from one of Queens’ famously good food spots, then Bring Your Own Friends down to karaoke. Just remember karaoke’s golden rules: Nothing over five minutes, stick to songs everyone knows and, when in doubt, just do “Don’t Stop Believin’.”
