Sing\, heckle kindly\, or just sit back with a burger and a drink and watch strangers become friends over a shared chorus. Zero singin g ability required — genuinely.\n\n**The Plan:**\n\n• 8:30 PM — Meet at The Social (1078 Tunnel Rd). Look for the Asheville Transplants group — we'll grab a cluster of tables before the room fills up.\n\n• 8:30 –9:00 PM — Order food and drinks\, say hello\, and start scheming song choices.\n\n• 9:00 PM — Karaoke kicks off. Put your name in whenever you're ready (or never — no pressure).\n\n• 11:30 PM — Official wrap . Karaoke runs until 1:00 AM\, so stay as long as you like.\n\n**What to K now:**\n\n• No cover charge for karaoke — everyone pays for their own food and drinks.\n\n• The Social is a full bar and kitchen (burgers are their thing)\, open until 2:00 AM on Saturdays. Come hungry.\n\n• Non-al coholic options are available — feel free to grab a soda or not drink an ything at all. No pressure either way.\n\n• Free on-site parking in the lot\, so you're not hunting for street spots.\n\n• It's on Tunnel Road i n East Asheville — about 10 minutes from downtown\, easy drive or ridesh are.\n\n• Singing is completely optional.
