Grab the mic and belt out your favorite tunes at Bearaoke, the SoFo Tap's weekly karaoke night where bear and cub culture thrives in a laid-back, judgment-free zone. No cover charge means you can show up, order a cold one, and enjoy the friendly crowd whether you're singing or cheering from the patio. It's the perfect vibe for a casual Sunday night out—less about perfection, more about having fun with your community. This event was imported by Out x Out.
