Winnie's Bar & Restaurant

Dubbed the “ultimate dive karaoke bar”, this scruffy Chinatown warhorse is the venue of choice for low-budget slummers and bachelorettes eager to “belt out” their off-key renditions for a buck a song; drinks that “pack a punch” coax wallflowers up to the mike.

This fine-art center is well worth the short detour from town to find it. Located in a striking Georgian Revival home surrounded by more than 400 hillside acres overlooking land that once belonged to fly-fishing magnate Charles Orvis, the center consists of a series of galleries displaying works from its well-regarded collection, as well as frequently changing exhibits of contemporary Vermont...

Karaoke bars are usually predictable, and often forgettable, but Winnie’s is an exception. Maybe it’s the überenthusiastic Asian singers battling on the mic, or maybe it’s the Hawaiian Punch, a sickly sweet drink that, after a couple, will have you crooning in Cantonese. (At least it feels like Cantonese.) Even if you don’t partake in the Chinatown embarrassment-fest, you will enjoy others as...

And when God created shit-hole dive karaoke bars in Chinatown, he first begat Winnie's. Red, low-ceilinged, family-run and awesome, the hard-core karaokers go left to the bar while the rest of us head right to the booths. "Nine to Five" translated from English to Mandarin to English again—beware of the teleprompter. Across the street from jail, so easy on the house special Hawaiian Punch!

The original down and out karaoke in Chinatown, Winnie's has been around since long before the hipsters discovered it. A fine way to get drunk or keep drunking after your big dinner south of Canal Street.

I came here last night with a friend because we heard it was closing. New York is going to be a little less special--we loved it. (And I HATE karaoke at bars!) It has a wonderful, vibrant...

Crowded as all hell. It's not so much of a karaoke bar as it is a bunch of nerdy NYU people on one side of the bar (often for a birthday) screaming a Journey song, and you're all the way on the...

Still working out the kinks, since they just opened, but worth a visit. Winnie's is an inviting lounge with comfy sofas and an inviting hip bar.. I totally enjoyed the "Blossom Dearie" styled jazz singer on the Tuesday night I was there. During my stay, we stopped in every evening during happy hour, and were pleased to have a few...

The legendary Chinatown karaoke dive—owned by a former Chinese opera luminary--remains popular with hipsters and a steady contingent of Chinatown locals. Plus, it has free popcorn.

This is a quintessential, authentic karaoke bar, located in the heart of Chinatown. If you have never done this before, the young crowd is fairly supportive of beginners. Sing along to such campy favorites as, 'Sister Christian' and, 'Endless Love.' When patrons slack off, the staff usually picks up. There are booth tables, a long bar and lots of energy. Beer is also really cheap here, so what...
