As of Sep 1, 2026, the Venue's Website and a fraternal-order calendar don't mention this series -- a weak signal, since this looks like a rental, not a lodge program. A listing site shows varying dated instances (May 30, Jun 5, Jul 17, 2026, themed 'DILEMMA') for a named series with a named host [s2]. Another listing site shows a next date of Sep 18, 2026 [s1]. Details differ across the listings, supporting ongoing operation.
The venue's own current website states, in present tense, 'Wednesdays 7:30pm: Singer/Songwriter open mic' (checked Sep 1, 2026) [s1]. A community meetup group shows two separately dated instances at this venue three months apart, Apr 15 and Jul 15, 2026, both confirmed real Wednesdays [s2]. A news article also describes this Wednesday open mic. A listing site does too, showing a next event on Sept 2, 2026.
A listing on badslava.com lists this night, but may not be current.
The Venue's Website gave access errors on every path tried (checked through Sep 1, 2026); an archived-page lookup also failed. This is unreadable, not evidence either way. Other unconfirmed information gives general agreement, without any dated page to check, that live music runs on the last Friday of each month. An open-mic listing site claims a weekly Thursday event instead [s1]. The two claims remain an unresolved contradiction.
The Venue's Website's structured address data places it in Albany, CA [s1]. This listing previously showed the venue in Walnut Creek. A dated event page on the same site names a 'First Thursday Music Night Open Mic' held July 2, matching a monthly, first-Thursday cadence (checked Sep 1, 2026) [s2].
Weekly on Thursdays, 5:00 PM. The Venue's Website does not mention it.
The city's own facility page for this specific library branch, checked Aug 31, 2026, does not mention an open mic [s1]. Neither does a regional arts events calendar. Only the original listing site has ever claimed this event exists here; a different branch, the Euclid branch, does have a confirmed running program, but this one does not.

The Venue's Website lists this night, but may not be current.
A ticketing site's own structured listing data shows this series actually ran from June to December 2024 -- about 20 months stale rather than a current 2026 instance [s1]. That is far more than the roughly 12 months that would show a monthly event is still running, though there's no evidence it closed either -- it may have moved off this ticketing platform or paused between cycles.
Every other Monday, 8:00 PM; which weeks is unclear. The Venue's Website does not mention it.
Call to confirm the night
The sources disagree about whether it still runs.
Three of the venue's own pages were read and none mentions an open mic, comedy night, or stand-up (checked Aug 31, 2026) [s2]. Its events page is a calendar widget whose contents could not be read, so that silence proves little. A comedy listing site still lists this venue's event on the 2nd and 4th Mondays [s1]. That page carries no event date and was last edited about seven months ago.
Weekly on Saturdays, 8:00 PM. The Venue's Website does not mention it.
The venue's own homepage, fully read on Aug 31, 2026, does not mention an open mic [s1]. No source beyond the original listing site has ever said this event exists, and there is no evidence it has closed either — the claim was simply never confirmed.
Weekly on Thursdays, 6:30 PM. The Venue's Website does not mention it.
The venue's own homepage was read but did not display enough content to reliably confirm or rule out an open mic (checked Aug 31, 2026) [s1]. No source beyond the original listing site has ever said this event exists, and there is no evidence it has closed.
Weekly on Wednesdays, 8:00 PM. The Venue's Website does not mention it.
The shopping promenade's own website (re-checked Aug 31, 2026) again does not mention an open mic anywhere [s1]. The specific business that might host this event couldn't be identified, so no targeted per-business check could be done. No source beyond the original listing-site claim has ever stated this event exists.
Weekly on Mondays, 8:00 PM. The Venue's Website does not mention it.
This listing claims a Monday 8 PM open mic. The venue is confirmed closed to the public on Mondays (checked Aug 31, 2026) [s1]. The event as described cannot be happening on the day claimed, suggesting the original listing itself is likely mistaken rather than describing something that used to run and stopped.
Weekly on Wednesdays, 6:00 PM. The Venue's Website does not mention it.
Two of the venue's own pages, its restaurant/bar page and homepage, were fully read on Aug 31, 2026 and neither mentions an open mic [s1]. This is also a national touring concert-hall chain, an unusual venue type for a free walk-in open mic, and no source beyond the original listing has ever confirmed the event exists.
Weekly on Fridays, 7:30 PM. The Venue's Website does not mention it.
The venue's own homepage was read but did not display enough content to reliably confirm or rule out an open mic (checked Aug 31, 2026) [s1]. The only source for this specific Friday music open mic is the original listing site itself, counted once even though it appears in two places there; a related comedy program at this venue is documented but is about 20 months old.
Weekly on Tuesdays, 6:30 PM. The Venue's Website does not mention it.
The venue's own homepage and dedicated events page were both fully read on Aug 31, 2026, and neither mentions an open mic [s1]. No source beyond the original listing site has ever said this event exists, and there is no evidence it has closed.
Weekly on Thursdays, 7:00 PM. The Venue's Website does not mention it.
The Venue's Website was fully read on Aug 31, 2026 and does not mention an open mic [s1]. No source beyond the original listing site has ever said this event exists, and there is no evidence it has closed.
The university's own student activities page, updated for the current Fall 2026 semester, still lists 'Open Mic' as one of its rotating Thursday-night themes (checked Sep 1, 2026) [s1]. How often the open-mic week specifically comes up, versus trivia, karaoke, or bingo weeks, isn't stated.
Sources mention Fridays but are not confirmed; actual night is unclear.

The sources disagree on the night.
Two local news sources describing this event were reread in full, but neither gives a specific date or says which Friday of the month it falls on, and neither could be confirmed as current. The venue's likely website address now belongs to an unrelated site, and an arts organization's page that might resolve this could not be reached. Whether the event runs the first or third Friday remains unresolved.
Sources mention Fridays but are not confirmed; actual night is unclear. Only one source reports it.
Call to confirm the night
The sources disagree on the night.
The Venue's Website could not be reached under either of its likely web addresses, so no direct check was possible (checked Sep 1, 2026). This listing describes a Friday music open mic. A 2020 newspaper feature describes a Thursday variety event instead [s1]. A different listing for the same venue describes a poetry-only first-Friday event. None of this conflict has been resolved.
Checked Sep 1, 2026: the venue's own current homepage carries a post dated Aug 25, 2026 announcing 'Kern Poetry First Friday Open Mic at Dagny's -- September 4th at 6 PM,' naming the host and co-host [s1]. The same page shows a run of past write-ups from Dec 2025, May 2026, and Jul 2026, confirming an ongoing monthly series [s1]. A 2023 news article corroborates the host's name from the series' earlier history [s3].
A listing on badslava.com lists this night, but may not be current.
Weekly on Mondays, 7:00 PM. Only one source reports it.
No official website exists for this venue and no dated citation from the venue itself or the press could be found (checked through Sep 1, 2026). A search produced a conflicting day claim (Wednesday instead of Monday) that appears to blend results from a different venue in the same area and was not adopted. The claimed Monday open mic remains entirely unconfirmed.
Sources mention Sundays but are not confirmed; actual night is unclear.
Call to confirm the night
The sources disagree on the night.
This comedy open mic's day is disputed, with Monday, Wednesday, and Sunday all claimed elsewhere, and an open-mic listing site's own page for this venue could not be opened to help resolve it. The only real evidence is a 2020 newspaper quote from a venue partner naming Sunday [s1]. No current source confirms this open mic still runs on any day.
Weekly on Sundays, 6:00 PM. The Venue's Website does not mention it.
The venue's own location page (checked Sep 1, 2026, fully readable) has no mention of 'open mic' [s1]. Listing-site-only leads like this one typically fail this kind of own-site check without that meaning the event is closed, so this negative supports an unconfirmed status rather than a closure. No corroborating or refuting source was found.
A listing on badslava.com lists this night, but may not be current.
Weekly on Thursdays, 8:00 PM. Only one source reports it.
A description of this venue's regular weekly schedule — trivia on Monday, karaoke on Tuesday, whiskey night on Wednesday, live music on weekends — never mentions a Thursday event at all, raising real doubt about the claimed Thursday open mic. A follow-up check found the Venue's Website did not display enough content to confirm or rule out anything directly, so this remains unresolved rather than disproven.
A listing on badslava.com lists this night, but may not be current.
Weekly on Fridays, 7:00 PM. Only one source reports it.
No official website could be found for this venue (checked through Sep 1, 2026). A review corroborates general Friday live music here but doesn't describe an open-signup mic specifically. No positive or negative evidence for the open-mic format itself was found.
Weekly on Wednesdays, 7:00 PM. The Venue's Website does not mention it.
The venue's own homepage (checked Sep 1, 2026) never mentions an open mic; Wednesdays are a 'Family Game Night & Cornhole Tournament' instead [s1]. A 2020 newspaper feature first linked host Chris Flail to this venue [s3]. A listing site shows a Flail comedy showcase here in April 2025 [s2]. That showcase fell on a Friday, not a Wednesday. Whether the Wednesday comedy open mic still runs is unresolved.
A listing site read on 2026-09-25 disagrees with the Wednesday night here: badslava.com lists Monday 8 PM, record has Wednesday. Which is current is unresolved — check before travelling. Something about this has changed recently — confirm before going.

The sources disagree on the night.
No Venue's Website could be found to check this listing directly, and further searches turned up only general history about this bar, with nothing confirming an open-signup music mic or a specific karaoke night. Whether this listing accurately describes the venue's regular programming remains unresolved.
A listing on badslava.com lists this night, but may not be current.
Weekly on Thursdays, 7:30 PM. Only one source reports it.
No source states plainly whether this venue's 'Bakersfield Unplugged' event is an open sign-up or a curated residency for booked performers; its billing, 'featuring great local talent,' leans toward curated. The hotel's own current homepage carries no events calendar and does not mention this series at all, so it neither confirms the event is running nor that it has ended.
Every other Wednesday, 7:00 PM; which weeks is unclear. Only one source reports it.

A listing on badslava.com lists this night, but may not be current.
This venue runs Friday live music, a separate, non-conflicting event, confirmed via a local news feature and the venue's own social media handle (checked Sep 1, 2026). A listing-site page describing a Wednesday open mic here turned out to be for a same-named venue in Oceanside instead, now discarded. No official website exists for this Bakersfield location, and no new evidence for the claimed open mic was found.
