a modern chattanooga institution; surprisingly good food, great bartenders, and an all around mellow vibe. I work in hotels and always recommend this place to visitors. it can get hectic when it is crowded, but the cover charges and bouncers on the weekends make it run rather smoothly regardless. highly recommended!! read more

My family and I visited Sing It or Wing It to celebrate my birthday, and unfortunately, the entire experience was extremely disappointing. From the moment we sat down, our server was unwelcoming and had an attitude throughout our visit. I even gave him my ID, which he kept until we were leaving, and despite knowing we were celebrating my birthday, there was no acknowledgment of it whatsoever. The service itself was also frustrating. My mother had to cancel her order because the rest of us had already received our food and finished eating while she was still waiting for hers. When she requested to cancel it, the server's attitude made an already frustrating situation worse. I also asked for seasoning for my fries. When I later called to speak with a manager about the experience, I explained that the server's attitude became even more noticeable after I made that request. Instead of listening to my concerns, the manager interrupted me and told me that my fries were seasoned. She was not at the restaurant during our visit, was not at our table, and did not eat my meal, so I found it extremely dismissive for her to tell me what my experience was instead of listening to what I was explaining. I told her that the overall interaction felt passive-aggressive and unwelcoming. Her response was essentially that we didn't get treated the way we wanted to be treated because I couldn't list every single word the server said. At one point, she even said, "Oh, I see why he had a problem." That response was incredibly disappointing because I called specifically hoping management would hear my concerns and address them--not defend the employee or invalidate my experience. I also asked for the owner's contact information because I wanted to escalate my concerns, and she told me that she was the owner. However, she wasn't present during our visit, so she couldn't personally speak to what happened at our table. To be fair, there was a female server who was very polite and pleasant, so I don't believe every employee at this establishment provided poor service. Unfortunately, our direct experience with our server and the way management handled our complaint overshadowed everything. This was supposed to be a birthday celebration with my family, and instead I left feeling disrespected and disappointed. Customers shouldn't have to argue with management to have their concerns acknowledged. I hope the establishment takes a serious look at how both customers and complaints are being handled. read more

Couldn't get in and seated because they don't serve children. Came in at 7:05. The sign states only 21 after 8:00. It was Sunday and dead. After waiting 5 minutes with no acknowledgement a manager came to us and says we can't be seated because they don't seat minors after 7. Word you sign to state that and we wouldn't have wasted your time or ours. So rude!!!! read more

Server didn't prioritize our service when sat at the table and made us wait almost 10 minutes while he talked to the Dj consistently. He could do a lot better if he focused on customers. read more

Would leave 0 stars but that isn't an option. Went here last night after a St. Patty's Bar Crawl and they were closing down after we cashed out. My friend opened their door to ask if she could use the restroom. Then a bartender yelled out to her: "CLOSE MY GOD DAMN DOOR!" Absolutely unacceptable and nasty, trashy behavior. I'd rather sing karaoke with Satan next time. read more

This was our final stop for a bachelor party and the emcee they had for karaoke that night was ridiculous. We put our names in right when we walked in, and it was over an hour before we decided to go and check where we were in the lineup. The emcee kept moving women up in the order and my friends had to pay $50 for us to keep our spots. read more

This establishment you have to pay a cover to get in. This is mentioned nowhere on their website or Instagram. The security guard just sits on his phone and doesn't care and is rude. Rough crowd. read more

You may be paying for extra drinks you didn't order, it's not clean, & service is slooooow- I feel like giving one star is being generous- Don't go, it's very suspect. read more

Sing It or Wing It was honestly one of the worst restaurant experiences I've had. They only had one cook working, so everything took forever to come out. When the food finally arrived, it was terrible. My friend literally had blood in their chicken wings, which is completely unacceptable and honestly disgusting. My burger was raw in the middle and insanely salty, like they dumped a whole shaker on it. For the prices they charge, you'd expect basic food safety and quality, but this place completely missed the mark. Between the long wait, undercooked food, and overall poor quality, I definitely won't be coming back. read more

Always have a great time at Sing It or Wing It! The TN Whiskey wings are amazing, and the Fishbowl drinks are always a perfect addition to a fun night of karaoke. Friendly staff, great atmosphere, and excellent food and drinks. Definitely recommend checking it out! read more

We came here on a Sunday late afternoon May 2022. I was surprised to find it pretty happening there was a wedding party and a birthday party inside. They were offering fish bowls for $6 which were great! I got two Bahama Mamas. My sister got up and sang two songs. There was only about three people running the whole place But we got our drinks quickly and she was able to get on stage quickly and sing. The place was okay it could use a good cleaning the windows are dirty in the front. The sound is not the best but it was a good place to kill an hour and have some really good drinks. They also serve food and have some really good prices. This is in the downtown Chattanooga area so you will need to pay to park and the local parking lots. read more

My friend and I came to play Jam Exam on Thursday and ate dinner before we played. I had the blackened ribeye with Gouda Mac n cheese and sauteed mushrooms. My friend had a pulled pork sandwich with fried okra. My steak was quite salty and slightly overcooked, but pretty good. The Mac n cheese was exceptional. My friend enjoyed her sandwich. I had a couple of Longbow ciders, which is hard to find, so I was really happy to see it on the menu. Their drink menu is extensive and really great, especially their signature cocktails and shots. Our server was fantastic, attentive without hovering. The decor is pretty simple, but they have some cool pictures of musicians on the walls. Before and during the game several people got up to sing karaoke, which was entertaining. They have special several nights a week, including ladies night. I'd definitely come back again to try the wings and enjoy some cocktails while watching karaoke. read more

Risha was a HORRIBLE bartender especially during Christmas!! How hard is it to smile and say Thankyou when travelers are coming to have fun and sing. We tipped, we wanted to sing but the vibes are NOT IT HERE. And in case she gave a fake name she's about mid 40s short hair brunette. Would not return and would not recommend read more

There is a $5 cover after 8pm. The food is above par for bar food by far. Karaoke is always a good time. The hours are messed up due to season change. Open til late daily. Karaoke is run through songbooks online app. Easy and convenient. Staff is incredibly kind and efficient. read more

Me and my hubby's most favorite place in Chattanooga to chill and enjoy the drinks, food, service and karaoke. The owner and staff are really what makes this establishment the best for us!! We would be there on a weekly basis if we lived in Chattanooga. It's too bad we don't have the same here in our neck of the woods. read more

I always have a good time here! This time i brought the kids. They're allowed before 9! The kids loved jumping up on stage singing songs together. For the most part, we were the only ones there and the lady running the DJ booth played all the song's for the kids. One of the staff meme we even sang and let the kids be her back up dancers! It was all a good time! I got a huge salad and boy was it good. It's usually served with iceberg lettuce which i hate so they replaced it with Romain lettuce instead! It was so good. My friend got the bologna sandwich. It was ok-a but messy though. She also got the fried chocolate cake and boy was it rich!!!! It was also pretty good! Our waitress was very nice and we had a large table which she manned with no problem! All of the staff were great!!! read more

You could start by letting people who just bought a condo in your town, who brought visitors that are from out of town into your establishment. A 1st impression for both.. Saturday night at 10:30 clearly the 2 people propped up outside just wanted to go home.. you say you are open until 2:00am.. what a boring place! The bouncer stated one of us was slurring and not walking straight.. let 4 people that just stepped out of a Lyft who wanted to have fun and spend some money walk. This review could have gone the other way, but never given the chance. It looks like Chattanooga needs a new Karaoke spot! Get off the stool and do your job if need be! Weak sauce! read more

I LOVE THIS KARAOKE BAR!!! It is such a fun place to come with friends or even family and just jam out. If you don't like to sing, it's also great for people watching; as there is every type of person that comes here to have a good time. They have really good chicken tenders and drinks of course! Sing It is my go to place when I have friends visiting me from out of town. It's a fun experience that isn't easy to forget. Also, Thursday nights are $1 beer night! read more

Sing It or Wing It - Karaoke Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

The wings are great, but if you want to sing and don't know the "Dj" you are completely out of luck. I've never felt more like an outsider and unwanted than when I wanted to sing here. I was there for over three hours and signed up to sing the moment I walked in, but was constantly told that I was on the list but that they were so busy that I was some where on his list. However the bouncer got to scream through his unrecognizable songs, and his friends that were hanging around him all not were droning on nonstop. The "DJ" filled in every single spot with his friends If you want wings get them to go, they are great! If you want to listen to the "DJ's" tone deaf friends than you should hang around If you want to sing karaoke go anywhere else Also, there is a $5 cover change per person to listen to the DJ's friends drone and scream through songs Definitely not worth the price no matter how good the wings taste read more

First night in downtown Chattanooga, also happened to be Halloween. We were window shopping for a happening bar when we stumbled upon Sing it or Wing it. Costume karaoke was going on and the decor was very festive. Lots of good beers to choose from with a large menu too. Service was good. The buffalo chicken balls were good! We will definitely be returning! read more

We visit sing it or wing it all the time when we visit town. Thankfully they stopped charging a cover I could only assume that that's due to COVID . The food was good as usual , the fries were way to salty though. They aren't using the fish bowls at the moment so your fishbowl drink comes in a regular cup which ruins the fun. read more

Sing It or Wing It - 10 wings and French Fries - Karaoke Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

The service is good, the drinks are priced well and the food is good. If you are not a regular or an out-oftowner and you want to sing, however, do not go here. The karaoke DJs are awful and only put their friends or regulars on the playlist. I sat and waited there for 2.5 hours and watched other people go up multiple times. When I asked the DJ about it, she just laughed and said she hadn't even put me in the system yet. read more

Absolutely terrible customer service. Their rules are not posted with bringing in an open beverage and our group of seven was declined at the door for having an open beverage while my friend took one single sip. The security guard was on a complete power trip and completely disrespectful to our entire group of people. Our group of 7, plus anyone we know will hear about this experience. Super sad to not support this local business any longer. read more

We had a great time last night here! We came to Chattanooga on a visit and saw that this was a karaoke bar with a fantastic shot list and we had to check it out! My gf and I both ordered the boneless wings (which are actually fried chicken strips) and they were AMAZING. Our server, Joe, was fantastic and also has a great set of pipes too on the microphone! Be sure to ask him to make you a special shot that may not be on the menu! He said they are always trying to come up with new ones and the one he made us was excellent (Titty Sweater) If you are looking for a fun, entertaining environment with reasonable drink prices and a solid food menu list for a karaoke bar then this is the place for you! read more

It was a lot of fun til we got kicked out!!! ---------- THE SCENE Chattanooga, TN (February 2015) - It was my fault for thinking we could hang out with people much younger than ourselves. You see, my best buddy got married this weekend and all but disappeared after the wedding ceremony was over for some newlywed sexy time. #bowchickawowwow! Well, although my wife and I were also in honeymoon mode (we didn't have the kids), we wanted to enjoy something we don't normally get a chance to do back home - a night out on the town. So when my buddy's 25 year old daughter and her bestie invited us to hang out with them after the wedding, we said H E L L Z N A W ! But they begged, pleaded and insisted, so we gave in against our better judgment. Nothing wrong with 25 year olds mind you, but being that her father is my bestie, I've heard the stories that come with a night out with this drinking duo. ---------- THE EXPERIENCE We used the Uber cab system since we weren't sure how much alcohol we'd be drinking and honestly, I get pretty torn up over one or two pina coladas. Our first stop of the evening was Clyde's. I was perfectly content there, but these 20 something party folks weren't satisfied, so we Ubered over to RAW. It was about 10:30 pm and the party hadn't quite gotten started there, so we had a few drinks and skipped across the street to Sing it or Wing it. Already well lubed from the wedding bar and RAW, some of the members of our party were in the early stages of full drunken stupidness. Arguing with each other, bathroom yelling matches over who's being more stupid, and molesting male karaoke singers while they were still on stage were just some of the highlights of our evening. Did I mention one of the girls with us did all this flirting in front of her husband? Add to that the dude sitting at our table whom became our "instant friend" and insisted on photo bombing every pic I tried to take and you will start to get a sense of our evening. Actually, as uninteresting as it all sounds, I thought it was a pretty hilarious night. Then again, I'm easily entertained. Sure we felt somewhat responsible for seeing to it they didn't hurt themselves, but other than that it was an enjoyable evening. That is, until the manager @ Sing it or Wing it came to our table and asked our party girl to leave. I personally didn't think she was acting all that bad. I don't get out much but I figured it was typical behavior for the tavern folk. Then again, she wouldn't stay in her seat, staggered and stumbled a lot and did have the appearance of being ready to yak any minute. ---------- FINAL THOUGHTS I am not entirely sure if kicking her out of the bar was a responsible move by the manager, but nevertheless it happened. Although our party girl was the only one asked to leave, I was grateful to be honest. We are usually in bed by 10:30pm, so I was pretty stoked to get back to our room. We had fun (even though we only shared two drinks), but I'm in my mid 40's and too old for this mess! I will most certainly avoid any nights out with 20-somethings ever again! LOL read more

"Karaoke divides humanity into two groups: those who don't want to sing and shouldn't be compelled, and those who do and shouldn't be allowed." -- Dennis Vickers I am in the first group, but like watching the second. Watching someone singing Karaoke brings about the same feelings as driving past a car accident, you just can't look away. Imagine accident upon accident lined up for your rubber necking pleasure, with most of the singers KUI (Karaoke-ing Under the Influence), this place is a lot of fun. I will admit to enjoying watching people realize that they really don't know the lyrics to their favorite songs, and that their voices can't go that high, or low. The crowd here seemed to spend most of its energy on nineties rock and some country songs that everyone but me seemed to know. Sing it or Wing it has a dive bar feel, but outfitted with a makeshift glam stage to feature the liquid courage karaoke crowd. We snagged a table right up front and laid claim to it for the evening. There was about an hour wait to sing. Sound was surprisingly poor. Service was excellent, drinks priced fairly. If you are in Chattanooga for an evening, this is a great spot to hang out and people watch. read more

Their wings are unique and awesome! I recently went to SI/WI with a group of friends and we order a bit of everything. By far, my favorite thing on the menu were the wings. My wife could probably explain it better, but their wings are first rubbed and smoked. Then they are grilled to a crunchy yummy goodness. They offer 3 levels of heat: Mild Thing, Hurts so good, and Bring on the Pain. The hot was outrageous and wonderful. The medium and mild were also good. The smoky flavor, and the fact they aren't deep fried makes these wings unique in Chatt. The other food was also great. The beer cheese sauce served with the pretzels was awesome. Of yeah, don't forget it's a karaoke bar too. Expect a lot of people and a great menu. Oh... don't hold their website against them. read more

I highly recommend this establishment. I am here from Arizona, I had a great time, great food and a fun karaoke experience. Amber and Johnathan were awesome bartenders. David the new manager was very nice. As for the bad reviews here on Yelp, it's a karaoke bar, its gonna be loud. People are going to drink, some will get drunk. If you want to go to a place to talk to friends go to a sports bar. Everyone was awesome here, so don't pay attention to the bad reviews. I am not associated with this place, I am here from Arizona. If you want to sing, eat and drink, go here. It's an awesome place!!! GO! read more

Great place to hang out with friends to enjoy good drinks and karaoke. Trevor is an amazing server there! He makes the experience so enjoyable! The rules clearly state that people under 21 aren't allowed after 9, but the dumb fat bouncer won't let you in after 8. My sister couldn't even come in to wish my fiance a happy birthday at 8:30. read more

My friend Ronaldo and I used to experience live dining here. "Wow!" We would say as we took a bite of the delectable appetizer. "Amazing!" We would say as we slurped down the succulent soup from Mother's kitchen. We sat and we ate til the plates were all clean, And sipped a jolly good beer. If you want a nice place for family and fun, Then look no further than here! We laugh and we sing a sweet little song, That reminds us of long travels home. Come sing once again, with a beer and a friend, While you slurp off the meat from the bone! Five stars! read more

Of all the things I like doing on a Saturday night, standing in tight quarters and being shoved around as people push past is not high on my list. Not to mention being constantly reprimanded by the KJ for even standing around the bar area. If there are too many people in the bar for servers to do their job, perhaps you should cap the amount of people that allowed in? I think this place might be better if you have a table near the wall - I wish we could have gotten a table so I could at least comment on the service. Instead, we had to hover around tables, eyeing those that were getting their checks, so we could dive into their spots. The employees/servers were less than helpful in this respect. I didn't like the "every man for themselves" atmosphere. I'm a girl that likes to Karaoke, and I've got to say that this place is fairly intimidating. People don't get up here in big groups and sing classics while everyone else sings along. It feels more serious, like you're actually putting on a performance, and people are actively watching you and critiquing you. So, this is a place that even I will just sit back and watch. I don't know. Just not my place. read more
