Weather alert: keep an eye on the forcast these next few weeks as we send off summer. Hoodies coats and blankets encouraged if temps are slated to dip below 65. Outdoor show season is soon to be over but not just yet 🍂 That said, don’t be surprised if you show up and we’re inside for the evening: we might not make the call until just before show time.

Come on down to read your work, tell your jokes, bear your soul, all while accompanied by the coolest backing band since the invention of Ray-Bans. Open mic list is up at 8pm, show to kick off ~9 ; slots for first and second half, alongside a waiting list. Don’t see the room on the list? Talk to Nark, and they’ll see what they can do. Slots are 1-2 poems, 1 song, or approximately 6 minutes.

Let the houseband know if you need their support ✨️
