No Venue's Website could be found. A note describing this as a mixed-format ('variety') event rests only on unconfirmed information about the venue's social media, never read. The only source directly naming the event is an open-mic schedule site [s1].
Every other Wednesday, 6:00 PM; which weeks is unclear. Only one source reports it.

The Venue's Website lists this night, but may not be current.
The venue's own events page shows four dated 'Open Mic Night' instances, all Wednesdays, running from Mar 18 through Apr 29, 2026 [s1]. The same feed kept posting other new events for three more months after that -- through at least July 24, 2026 -- without a further open-mic posting. The venue is still active; this open mic has no confirmed instance since late April 2026, though that alone doesn't mean it has stopped.
Weekly on Thursdays, 7:00 PM. The Venue's Website does not mention it.
The Venue's Website, previously unreachable, loaded successfully when checked Aug 14, 2026, but did not show enough readable text to confirm or rule out an open mic [s1]. Its current status is unresolved.
A listing on badslava.com lists this night, but may not be current.
The restaurant's own website, re-checked Aug 14, 2026, still makes no mention of an open mic. This is an upscale, dinner-only fine-dining restaurant in a restored 1898 church -- an unusual profile for a weekly bar open mic. The claim traces only to an open-mic listing site, with no corroboration found anywhere else [s1]. This looks more like a listing error than an event that ran and stopped.
The first and third Tuesday of each month. The Venue's Website does not mention it.
The Venue's Website, checked Aug 14, 2026, makes no mention of an open mic [s1]. An open-mic schedule site names the host as Chris Arcana, who also books a separate open mic at another Bentonville venue, but that connection wasn't checked further.

A one-off, on a Friday, 6:00 PM. Only one source reports it.
A local news site reported a single dated instance of this open mic on Friday, July 17, 2026 [s1]. No source has ever established whether it's a recurring series or a one-off library program. That news site could not be read again on a repeat check (checked Aug 14, 2026). The library's own website was also unreadable.
Weekly on Wednesdays, 8:00 PM. The Venue's Website does not mention it.
The venue's own show calendar did not show enough readable text to confirm or rule out an open mic (checked Aug 14, 2026) [s1]. A dedicated events page gave an error. The same venue separately runs a Thursday karaoke night, a different, excluded event.
Night and frequency are unclear — no source gives either.

A page on goeldorado.com lists this event, but may not be current.
A tourism site's event page for this venue remains unreadable on a third attempt, not evidence either way [s1]. No readable source has confirmed this venue even exists, let alone the open mic's day or status.
The cafe's own current website, checked Aug 14, 2026, explicitly states 'open mic tuesdays at 8 pm,' inviting people to 'bring your guitar, drum, bass, harmonica, fiddle, banjo, and sing with the locals' [s1]. This corrects an earlier listing that had claimed Wednesday instead -- the venue's own statement takes precedence.
Weekly on Mondays, 6:00 PM. The Venue's Website does not mention it.
The parent lodge's own current website makes no mention of an open mic or a jam session anywhere on it (checked Aug 14, 2026) [s1]. Open-mic listing sites name this event, but that listing is the only support for it, and this direct negative from the Venue's Website weakens the claim.

The fourth Tuesday of each month, 6:00 PM. Only one source reports it.
The venue's new operator confirms on its own website that jam sessions continue generally at this location under new management (checked Aug 14, 2026) [s1]. No source gives a specific date for this particular 'Bluegrass Jam.' Only an open-mic schedule site names it directly [s2].

Ozark Folkways, the nonprofit that took over this venue in 2025, says on its own website that it will 'continue to host the jam sessions, workshops, and music lessons the community has loved for years' at the historic Walker-Stone House, which is open for events (checked Aug 14, 2026) [s1]. No source gives a date for this particular 'Old Time Jam.' An open-mic schedule site names it directly [s2].
A regional newspaper feature from March 4, 2026 specifically describes an 'Original Song Open Mic' hosted by Jack Williams at this venue [s1]. The venue's new operator confirms on its own website, checked Aug 14, 2026, that it continues 'the jam sessions... the community has loved for years' at the same address [s2]. A dated news source plus the venue's own confirmed continuity together support active status.

This well-known, actively booked live-music venue's own homepage makes no mention of an open mic. The claim traces only to an open-mic listing site [s1].

The sources disagree on the night.
The venue's own live-music page, checked Aug 14, 2026, describes Thursdays as 'free live music from 5 to 7 PM' -- a booked show, not an open-signup mic, and at a different time than the claimed 8 PM open mic [s1]. Both the format and the time conflict with the original claim, and this isn't resolved.
A public radio story from Jan 8, 2025 confirms this open mic, hosted by Jen Cole, has run continuously for six years -- a solid sign of durability -- but it doesn't name a specific day of the week [s1]. A separate web claim of 'every Sunday at 7:00' couldn't be found anywhere in that story's actual text and wasn't adopted. At about 19 months old, this source also hasn't been refreshed.
The producer's own event listings describe 'Trailside Comedy Open Mic' running every Tuesday, free and open signup, produced by Cameron Carter [s1]. A civic tourism calendar confirms the same weekly Tuesday event [s2]. Two independent, agreeing sources confirm this is currently active.
Night and frequency are unclear — no source gives either.

An open-mic show-schedule site lists another event at this venue, hosted by 'BeetOven Swing' [s1]. This is distinct from this venue's confirmed Tuesday comedy open mic. No day or time was found, and no other source confirms it. The 'swing' name raises a question of whether this is really an open-signup event or a booked band night.
A listing on badslava.com lists this night, but may not be current.
This venue's own ticketing calendar makes no mention of an open mic anywhere on its current public bookings. It's a large concert and private-event hall, an unusual profile for a weekly open mic. The claim traces only to an open-mic listing site [s1].
Listed as bringing 'talented singers, players, poets and more' to this biweekly Tuesday open mic, mixing music and poetry acts without settling on one kind.

An open-mic listing site claims a weekly Thursday 7 PM open mic here [s1]. An open-mic show-schedule site instead lists this same venue's mic on a biweekly Tuesday (see the Tuesday listing for this venue). Other unconfirmed information suggested a more complex split schedule, but that could not be confirmed on any readable page. No Venue's Website was found to help settle it.

The smoothie bar's own website loaded but showed only generic business-hours information, nothing about the open mic itself. The shop is confirmed to be a real business, but no source pins down this event's day, time, or current status. Only an open-mic schedule site names it at all [s1].

A news article about this poetry event, 'Fort City Slam,' is dated Nov 1, 2024 [s1]. That is nearly two years old, and it is the only dated instance ever found; no recurring cadence has been confirmed. The museum's own current homepage, checked Aug 14, 2026, covering 2026 programming in detail, makes no mention of it [s2]. Another web claim of a monthly 'first Friday' schedule couldn't be traced to any real page and wasn't adopted.

An open-mic listing site tags this as a music open mic [s1]. Another open-mic listing site tags the same venue's event as comedy instead. That page could not be read to settle the conflict, and no official Venue's Website could be found (checked Aug 14, 2026).
The city's tourism website describes Wednesday Night Poetry as a continuous weekly series running since 1989, with over 1,725 consecutive weeks (checked Aug 14, 2026) [s1]. A newspaper article dated Apr 1, 2026 confirms the event is currently held at this address, hosted by Kai Coggin [s2].

The Venue's Website now redirects to Arts, Absolutely!, which says Brandon House passed the torch to the new operator and advertises an event on Saturday, Sep 12, 2026 at 11715 Rainwood Road, Suite A1, Little Rock (checked Sep 6, 2026) [s2]. The successor's own BH Event Center page lists the same phone number, 501-725-5757 [s3]. The Tuesday DJ-plus-open-mic night itself is unverified at the new address.
The venue's own booking calendar lists a near-weekly Wednesday 'Open Mic Night' with dated shows on Aug 26, Sep 2, Sep 9, Sep 16, Oct 28, Nov 4, and Feb 3, doors at 7 PM and show at 8 PM for $7 (checked Aug 14, 2026) [s1]. One Wednesday, Oct 14, is priced $23, which may mark a booked headliner rather than open sign-up that week.
