Where to Find Public Karaoke Bars in Pyeongtaek

Looking for karaoke in Pyeongtaek where everyone sings together instead of using private rooms? These are the strongest current options near Camp Humphreys and Songtan.

Quick Answer
  • Crown Club near Camp Humphreys is the strongest verified option, advertising live-band karaoke every Saturday.
  • O'Lounge Humphreys promotes Thursday open-mic karaoke nights in the shared bar area.
  • Red Moon Humphreys also promotes Thursday public karaoke nights.
  • Most Korean noraebang use private rooms, so searching for open mic, live-band karaoke, or karaoke night works better for this format.
  • Anjeong-ri near Camp Humphreys has the strongest concentration of communal karaoke options in Pyeongtaek.

If you want karaoke in Pyeongtaek where the whole bar hears you sing, skip the usual noraebang search. The strongest current options are concentrated around Camp Humphreys, where several bars advertise open-mic, live-band, or public karaoke nights.

Where Can You Find Public Karaoke in Pyeongtaek?

The best place to start is Anjeong-ri near Camp Humphreys.

Most Korean 노래방 operate with private rooms, so searching for “Pyeongtaek noraebang” usually returns the opposite of what you want. The Korea Tourism Organization describes karaoke as part of Korea’s private room culture.

Around Camp Humphreys, however, several bars use a more Western-style format where customers sing in the main venue.

The clearest current options are:

  • Crown Club
  • O’Lounge Humphreys
  • Red Moon Humphreys

Schedules at small nightlife venues can change quickly, so check the venue’s social media on the day you plan to go.

Which Pyeongtaek Bars Have Karaoke Everyone Can Join?

Crown Club

Area: Anjeong-ri / Camp Humphreys
Address: 112-34 Anjeong-ri, Paengseong-eup, Pyeongtaek-si
Format: Live-band karaoke
Published schedule: Saturday, midnight to 4 a.m.

Crown Club is the strongest direct match for someone who wants to sing in front of the room instead of disappearing into a private karaoke booth.

Recent promotional material advertises live-band karaoke every Saturday, with singers performing alongside a band in the main venue.

That makes it closer to a live performance night than a standard Korean noraebang experience.

Current promotional material continued appearing in 2026, including Crown Club’s Instagram post promoting Saturday live-band karaoke.

Best for: Someone specifically looking for public karaoke with an audience.

Does O’Lounge Humphreys Have Open-Mic Karaoke?

Yes. O’Lounge Humphreys currently promotes Thursday open-mic karaoke nights.

Area: Anjeong-ri / Camp Humphreys
Address: 112-12 Anjeong-ri, Paengseong-eup, Pyeongtaek-si
Format: Open mic and communal karaoke
Published schedule: Thursday nights, with recent promotion indicating around 9 p.m.

The venue’s official Instagram account advertises recurring Thursday karaoke programming.

This is the type of setup the original question is asking about: people singing in the shared bar rather than renting individual rooms.

Because weekly event times can move, check O’Lounge’s current posts or stories before heading out specifically for karaoke.

Does Red Moon Humphreys Have Public Karaoke?

Red Moon Humphreys also promotes a Thursday karaoke night in its main bar.

Area: Camp Humphreys / Anjeong-ri
Format: Public bar karaoke
Published schedule: Thursday nights, recently advertised around 9 p.m.

The Red Moon Humphreys Instagram account has promoted Thursday karaoke alongside its regular food, drinks, and nightlife programming.

The available evidence supports communal bar karaoke rather than a private-room format.

We could not independently confirm a complete street address from a sufficiently reliable source during this research, so check the venue’s current profile for directions.

Are There Other Karaoke Bars Near Camp Humphreys?

A few other venues look promising, but the current evidence does not support calling them guaranteed weekly karaoke options.

6th Finger

6th Finger, also listed as 식스트핑거, is an active performance and nightlife venue near Camp Humphreys.

Its Facebook page confirms current operation, and business listings associate the venue with karaoke and live entertainment.

Recent 2026 activity clearly confirms performances and events, but we could not verify a dependable recurring communal karaoke schedule.

Verdict: Worth checking, but message the venue first.

Back Porch Humphreys

Back Porch describes itself as a venue equipped for live bands, open mic, and karaoke on its official Instagram account.

Address: 72 Anjeongsunhwan-ro 138beon-gil, 1F, Paengseong-eup

The venue appears active, but its calendar rotates between different types of entertainment. We could not verify a fixed weekly karaoke night for 2026.

Verdict: Good candidate when karaoke appears on the current event calendar.

What About Karaoke Around Songtan and Osan Air Base?

The Songtan and Sinjang-dong area near Osan Air Base, also known locally as K-55, is the second area worth checking.

The district has long catered to international visitors and U.S. military personnel, and communal bar entertainment is easier to find there than in many standard Korean nightlife districts.

A venue called THIRSTY promoted a public karaoke event in 2026, which confirms that this style of karaoke still appears around the Songtan nightlife area.

We could not verify that THIRSTY runs karaoke on a fixed weekly schedule.

Verdict: Songtan is worth checking, but confirm the event before making a special trip.

Why Doesn’t Searching for Noraebang Find This Kind of Karaoke?

Because 노래방 usually means private-room karaoke in Korea.

You normally enter with your group, pay for a block of time, and receive your own room. Other customers do the same in separate rooms.

That works well for friends who want to sing privately, but it is not the open-bar karaoke format common in parts of Canada, the United States, the UK, and elsewhere.

If you search only for 평택 노래방, you will mostly find private karaoke rooms.

What Should You Search for Instead?

Try English searches such as:

  • Pyeongtaek karaoke night
  • Camp Humphreys karaoke
  • open mic karaoke
  • live band karaoke
  • bar karaoke
  • Songtan karaoke night

Useful Korean searches include:

  • 평택 오픈마이크
  • 평택 라이브바
  • 라이브 카라오케
  • 펍 카라오케
  • 안정리 바
  • 송탄 바

In practice, English searches often work better around Camp Humphreys because many venues in the area market directly to foreign residents and U.S. military customers.

How Can You Check If Karaoke Is Happening Tonight?

Check the venue’s Instagram or Facebook page before leaving home.

Small bars often change entertainment schedules for holidays, special events, private bookings, live performances, or seasonal programming.

For the strongest current options:

  • Saturday: Crown Club
  • Thursday: O’Lounge Humphreys
  • Thursday: Red Moon Humphreys

Treat those as the best starting points, not permanent guarantees.
