Bloodsports Covent Garden: Karaoke in London

27-29 Endell Street, London · WC2H 9BA · Mo-Su 12:00-02:00

Bloodsports is a neon-lit, late-night sports bar and burger joint in Covent Garden from the MEATliquor team, and its karaoke lives in a small back room called The Drexl Room. It suits groups who want to sing without committing to a private booth or a booking, because there is no reservation and no fee for the mic itself. You just turn up, grab a seat or a spot at the bar, and take a turn between screenings of cult horror films and live sport on the big screens.

The most useful thing to know: this is open-room karaoke, not a private pod. Expect to sing in front of the room rather than just your mates. It runs late, with the bar open until 2am every night, so it works well as a second stop after dinner.

The karaoke setup

Karaoke happens in The Drexl Room, a hideaway bar within Bloodsports rather than a row of private booths. If you are in that room you have access to the mic, so it is open singing in front of whoever is there, not a sealed-off pod. The room doubles as a screening space, so you are belting out tracks surrounded by cult horror films and big-screen live sport. It is closer in feel to a dive-bar singalong than a polished karaoke chain, which fits the rest of the venue.

Good to know

There are no bookings for the karaoke room, so you pitch up and grab a seat at the bar or any free table. That makes it easy for a spontaneous night but means it can fill on busy weekends. The kitchen runs a revamped MEATliquor menu, with the Dead Hippie burger, Monkey Fingers and loaded hot dogs, plus a full cocktail list. The whole place is open midday to 2am daily, so you can eat early and stay late.

Getting there

Bloodsports sits at 27-29 Endell Street, WC2H 9BA, a couple of minutes from Covent Garden tube. Leicester Square is about six minutes on foot, Holborn around seven, and Tottenham Court Road roughly eight if you are coming in on the Central or Elizabeth lines. That central spot makes it an easy add-on after a show or dinner in the West End, and the late hours mean you are not racing the last food order.
