Todd's may be a contender for the best karaoke in Lexington, not that there are many, but Todd's is a karaoke bar all the time. There is no, not Karaoke time at Todds. The place is in a pretty crappy shoppin center, but hey, it dont need a TGI Friday's next door to rock. What's to love? Awesome drink prices, and enthusiastic karaoker's... They got darts too..
What's not to love? For some reason I always wreak when I leave. I dont know how to describe the smell, but if you ever talk to someone who's been more than once, they know what yer talking about. Also, the music selection is pretty limited to stuff that is a decade or two old. Expect Rolling Stones, or Jimmy Buffet, or Hank Williams. Don't expect the newest Rhianna single.
Overall, I love Todd's. It is the premier place for my drunken Karaoke escapades. Todd's Drink Prices and Photos. Find other Lexington Karaoke bars

The fact is Todd's has 55,000 songs and is updated thru May '08.There is never a cover charge and the holiday season will prove to be lots of fun.We update songs twice a year.
First of all, a couple friends and I just wanted to have a good time and sing some karaoke when we decided to go to Todd’s Karaoke Bar and Grille. When we first got there, it seemed like a great laid-back place with common people just singing and having a good time. As the night progressed and started to empty out for the soon closing bar, we happened to smell cigarette smoke. At first, we thought it was the breeze from the door, but as we looked around, the end of the bar had a group of women with lit cigarettes. I glimpsed at the front door to confirm there was no smoking, and of course, since in Lexington, there was no smoking allowed. I went down to the group and asked if they wouldn’t mind stepping outside or putting out their cigarettes, stating that there was a no smoking sign on the door. After telling me to “get out of here”, “there’s the door”, and other untasteful comments on their part, we closed our bar tab and I asked for the owner’s business card. The bartender pointed me to the other side of the bar and stated “well there he is” (who was actually the karaoke DJ). I walked up and told the owner, Todd I’m assuming, about the occurrence. While in the microphone, he began stating sly comments such as “well Tiger Woods with hookers is against the law….”, “Obama….”, “drunk driving…” and “speeding on New Circle…”, while still talking in the microphone. Of course, I called him out for “rallying the crowd” and that I just wanted to let him know that smoking was happening in his bar and I thought it was the right thing to do to report it. After a few words were spoken on the part of Todd, a woman from the smoking group, let’s call her Big Bertha, then started shoving me towards the door telling me it was time to go. I am, by no means, a physically strong woman so Big Bertha, no doubt, would kick my a** and I was scared, so I did what any other woman in my position would do, I called the Lexington Police Department. They said they would send someone out and as talking to the operator, the shoving was still happening so I scooted to the side, between tables, and sat at a booth seat to prevent being pushed out. As my friends were trying to get Big Bertha away from me, Todd got up in my face and had me against the back of the booth, yelling at me to “Leave already!”, “Get the F*** out a’here!”, etc. As my friends and a couple other men saw this happening, they began refraining the owner and telling him he could not do that. Soon after that, a couple officers arrived (after closing time by now) and told everyone they needed to leave and that it would be best for me just to go home now. Of course, I was hysterical about the threats and cornering so I wanted something done, but thanks to my friends, we walked away free, were given a ride home, and have nothing to do about what had happened.
I know that this will probably not prevent anyone from going to Todd’s but I think that what happened was not right and in no way necessary and that and everyone needs to know.
Haven't been yet, but that post about the smoking makes me want to go more than ever.
I don't smoke, but if that bitch isn't going to be there, it's a place I want to go.
As long as Pickles isn't there and I can smoke inside during these cold months, I'm down.
this place is a complete sh!t hole
I think that Todd's is a great little Karaoke Bar! The bartenders are nice and Todd has a great voice. (he can sing Journey as if he were Steve Perry himself.) I have been away from Lexington for almost a year and I just got back this week. I hit Todd's for a song and a beer and it was just as sweet as I remember. There are some fine voices that come through, and I actually like the beginning of the week best and early in the night when not many people are there yet so I can sing a few songs before heading home early. They have darts, and a HUGE music selection. Its a great place to stop by for birthdays, cause if you are having an amazing day, wouldn't you want to sing it to the world???
I miss Todd's since it closed down and changed owners in 2012. The new owner did clean it up so that it smelled better, but the new sound system at this place (now named Mac's) is a real downgrade. Sound quality sucks now, so I stopped going there.
