Sing City

You're on Blair Street, just off the Royal Mile, and you've decided tonight's the night you're finally doing that Fleetwood Mac number. Sing City gets this: it's a proper karaoke venue that doesn't feel like a student union reject bin. The setup is genuinely good—decent sound quality, a song catalogue that goes beyond the usual suspects, and bartenders who won't judge you for ordering a pint and a lime cordial. It's the kind of place locals actually return to, not just tourists on a stag do. The crowd's usually mixed enough that you can have a laugh without it descending into chaos, and there's enough space that you're not literally singing into someone's pint.
