When I called they said 7:30. They didn't really get started until after 8 and the ringmaster opened for about half an hour, so just keep that in mind. Otherwise, it was a real open mic, nothing fancy, but they have a decent place to play, mostly low-key acoustic, original and cover, a sign-up list, okay equipment, performances from dismal to brilliant, and they were decent enough to at least say thanks for playing, which I appreciated since I had to drive about two hours to get there. The food is pretty much sandwiches, nothing really exotic, but also nothing to complain about. Can't go wrong with a pile of meat on some good bread. Strongbow on tap. Not a lot of drafts, but the essentials, Guiness, Harp, and Amber Bock, something for everybody. One of the few places I've been where people made a littl effort to be friendly and take an interest. Probably not going to launch your performance career, but there are a lot worse places to play. Slainte.

This open mike has moved to Mondays. Went on 8/5/09 (Wed) and was so informed by the otherwise friendly and accommodating staff.

Just went to the website and there is no mention of open mic Wednesday. Is it still on?
