- I am secretly attending open mics listed on this site. I am giving an honest review on everyone's Mic. So far I have found most open mics starting much later than stated. So, If you plan on coming to this event, get there an hour or so later than stated… This is a smoking environment. This may be a good summer mic. The worst thing that can happen is you get drunk. What I've noticed about most musicians at bar open mics is they are professional drinkers verses professional musicians. My summary: Pros: Cozy Bar, Friendly Cons: Smoke, Alcohol, Late Not my top pick, but give them a chance.
Eric (4/2008)- sounds like a cool place, will check it out.
Eric (3/2008)- Great Atmosphere, alcohol and snacks are served, smoking allowed, great sound system. 21 and up. Everyone is treated like family and a star.
Maria Wade (12/2007)
How many songs are allowed by a performer? And on a typical night, about how may performers show up?
Dar Mamassian (1/2008)- Hey Dar, we usually give about 15 minutes to a performer sometimes 1 extra song if the crowd responds well and if your a "virgin" to our night… We get anywhere from 5 or 6 performers to a packed house ( we actually had some people show up to late to get on the list… so show early 'round 9pm and get on the list!!
Christopher St.Onge (3/2008)- There's a cash prize for the best original song (when more than 3 performers compete) and all original music will be video taped and edited for the winners. Big ol' stage with a great sound system/lights and two host who play before and after the guest! $1-domestic, $3-long islands, $2- well drinks and it's ladies night! Never a cover and always a blast;)
Chris St. Onge (9/2006)
