What do they really mean and are they correct?

Experts,
How do these sentences differ in meaning?
Are they all grammatically OK as colloquial English?

#1:
1. Let's go to a Karaoke bar.
(maybe doesn't matter which one?)
2. Let's go to the Karaoke bar.
(maybe a specific place in mind?)
3. Let's go to Karaoke bar.
(maybe just in General?)

#2:
1. Let's go to a Madonna's concert.
(maybe any one of many Madonna's concert?)
2. Let's go to the Madonna's concert.
(maybe one particular Madonna's concert?)
3. Let's go to Madonna's concert.
(maybe simply just want to go to her concert?)

Thank you very much.
