Mint

San Francisco


Big voices at this mixed straight-gay karaoke bar could rattle pennies in the US mint uphill. If you can't decide what to sing from the 30,000-plus playlist, know this: George Michael never fails, and the two-drink minimum practically guarantees applause. Reserve seating online, bring a posse, and tip the DJ if you want to sing any time soon.
