A year of working right next door to Funky’s painted a vivid picture of what the Evil Bastard Karaoke experience is all about. From Sunday to Thursday (save for the nights a band is playing), a varied cast of characters takes the stage, typically occupied by hard-core metal bands. Hosted by Evil Bastard himself, you can make requests on his Facebook page beforehand if you’re prepared. Or just throw back a few $5 tall cans and see where the night takes you.
Funky Winker Beans and its staff are proud of their humble, some might say sketchy, digs. Dubbed as “Vancouver's Hardcore Dive Bar,” every night seems like karaoke night. That's because Sundays through Thursdays are uniquely themed to attract different groups of wannabe stars. From Metal Mondays to Ladies' Night Wednesdays, you'll find an ever-changing audience to hear you perform.
