One of the hottest spots for karaoke in Houston is Midtown bar Glitter Karaoke, 2621 Milam St.

The success of this establishment is due in large part to the welcoming environment curated by the staff and the bar's regulars. There is no VIP room, bottle service, velvet rope, or dress code here. Glitter is just a place to kick back, have a drink to three, and channel your inner Beyoncé or Axel Rose on stage.

KARAOKE CONFESSIONS: Houston singers share their go-to songs

This venue has been in operation since 2010, making it one of the longest running businesses in Midtown Houston. After 5 years in their original Chinatown location, the Wong brothers relocated and found a home here on Milam Street. With the help of nightlife veteran Reko Trill behind the DJ booth, Glitter stays vibrant from happy hour until last call.

Glitter is also known for hosting a variety of pop-ups with local chefs and BBQ pitmasters. Last night, pitmaster Ara Malekian of Harlem Road Texas BBQ in Richmond provided delicious options for a late night dinner. On the menu were Jamaican jerk rub smoked chicken wings, 44 Farms beef cheek barbacoa tacos, and a Snake River Farms wagyu Texas chili dog.
