Sunday late-night karaoke at Ace of Cups in Clintonville, the Excesss-hosted sing-along that follows afternoon trivia and runs from about 10:00 p.m. into the early hours.
Excesss Karaoke takes Sundays at Ace of Cups, 2619 North High Street in the Clintonville / north campus stretch. The house pattern puts karaoke around 10:00 p.m. after Excesss Trivia wraps in the afternoon, so the same bar covers both a daytime quiz crowd and a late sing-along.
Ace of Cups is a musician-run room with a calendar that also includes dance nights and local shows, which means karaoke shares a stage culture rather than a generic sports-bar playlist. Expect a casual, loud, late crowd and a song book that rewards people who actually want to sing.
Next date on the weekly cycle after September 17 is Sunday, September 20, 2026, then ongoing Sundays unless a special show displaces it. Arrive before 10:00 if you want a shorter wait to get on the list, bring ID, and check the Ace Instagram or site if a ticketed concert is posted over a given Sunday.
