About the 18th Street Brewery Residency

18th Street Brewery is one of Northwest Indiana's most celebrated craft breweries — and Wednesday nights belong to karaoke. PopUp Karaoke has been the resident host at 18th Street's Miller Beach taproom, turning the space into one of the region's best weekly music experiences.

Every Wednesday we roll in with a full concert-quality rig: pro speakers, LED stage lighting, multiple wireless microphones, and a 75,000+ song library spanning every genre and era. The setup turns 18th Street's taproom floor into a real stage. Regulars know it. First-timers are hooked by song two.

Whether you're a confident singer or someone who's never touched a mic, Wednesday nights at 18th Street are a no-pressure, all-fun environment. Our host keeps energy high, the crowd cheers everyone on, and the excellent craft beer doesn't hurt.

What to Expect on a Wednesday Night

  • Arrive early for prime seating — crowds pick up around 7:30 PM
  • Put in your song request at the bar or through our live queue
  • Drink great beer — 18th Street is known for their award-winning craft lineup
  • Get on the mic — regulars and newcomers both sing; the crowd is warm and supportive
  • Stay for the encore — the last hour is always the most electric

The Venue

18th Street Brewery's Miller Beach taproom sits in the heart of Gary's most vibrant neighborhood, right along Miller Ave. The space has an open, energetic feel — high ceilings, great acoustics, and a crowd that comes to have a genuinely good time. It's been named one of Indiana's top craft breweries multiple times, and their tap list changes seasonally so there's always something new to try while you wait for your song.

"Danny is absolutely phenomenal — the best karaoke DJ in the Chicagoland area. Nobody has ever balanced their sound equipment as well as Danny does."

Jesse G. — Regular Wednesday night attendee

"We do karaoke night every month now because of PopUp Karaoke. The crowd loves it!"
