Weekly on Fridays, 6:00 PM. The Venue's Website does not mention it.
As of Sep 1, 2026, the Venue's Website, fully checked, makes no mention of 'open mic' [s1]. This weighs against the listing sites that name this event. One open-mic listing site's page for the venue lists the same host, time, and rules [s2]. Other listing sites agree so closely that they read as one original claim republished rather than independent corroboration.
The venue's own ticketing page, checked Sept 1, 2026, is confirmed actively maintained — it specifically notes no event in May or September 2026, a forward-looking, currently relevant notice [s2]. The Venue's Website corroborates the same program [s1]. A Sept 5 contact check found the stored email missing the word 'art' — a typo that would have bounced or reached a stranger.
OpenMicX labels the Friday open mic 'Comedy Open Mic,' but the venue is otherwise known for live jazz and vinyl nights, so the open mic's actual kind is unclear.
Both sources give the same night and time, but neither confirms recent activity.
As of Sep 1, 2026, an open-mic listing site names a Friday 6 PM open mic here [s1]. A jazz-focused music directory agrees [s2]. Neither is from the venue itself, and no venue-owned website or social account could be found to check directly.
The second Saturday of each month, 7:00 PM. Something about this has changed recently — confirm before going.
The Venue's Website, checked Sept 1, 2026, confirms this event was rebranded from 'Modular Synthesizer Open Mic' to 'South Bay Sonic Circuits Open Mic,' running the second Saturday, 7-9 PM [s1]. The rebranded event's own new site confirms it enters its third season with a resume date of Sept 12, 2026, confirmed a second Saturday [s2]. This resolves an earlier weekly-Saturday-8pm claim as simply imprecise.
A page on hiestelle.com lists this night, but may not be current.
Weekly on Mondays, 8:00 PM. Only one source reports it.
As of Sep 1, 2026, the event's format is now well corroborated as a bilingual English/Spanish comedy open mic by an event-discovery site [s1]. A ticketing site agrees [s2]. No venue-owned website or social account could be found to check directly, so confirmation rests only on listing-tier sources.
Weekly on Thursdays, 9:00 PM. The Venue's Website does not mention it.
As of Sep 1, 2026, the Venue's Website, freshly re-checked, still makes no mention of 'open mic' [s1]. The page shows too little readable text, though, to fully support that silence as meaningful. A listing site could not be reached [s2]. The only corroboration for a Thursday 9 PM open mic or comedy night remains unreachable social-media posts from 2024-2025. The event is neither confirmed nor ruled out.
Weekly on Wednesdays. The Venue's Website does not mention it.
As of Sep 1, 2026, the Venue's Website, fully read, makes no mention of a Wednesday comedy night [s1]. The only supporting source remains a single news article from Jan 5, 2022 [s2]. The venue's own posted hours (closing at 7 PM Monday-Thursday versus 9 PM on Friday) are circumstantially at odds with an evening event on Wednesday, but no dated source states the event was cancelled, so the status stays unknown.
Weekly on Thursdays. The Venue's Website does not mention it.
As of Sep 1, 2026, the Venue's Website, fully read, never mentions a Thursday poetry night [s1]. The only supporting source remains a single news article from Jan 5, 2022 [s2]. Absence alone doesn't confirm the event has ended, so the status stays unknown.
Weekly on Fridays, 6:00 PM. Something about this has changed recently — confirm before going.
The venue's own homepage, checked Sept 1, 2026, confirms in present tense a weekly Friday, 6-9 PM open mic called 'Nirvana Soul After Dark' [s1]. This resolves an earlier 6pm/7pm start-time discrepancy in favor of 6 PM, the value the venue itself states. A 2024 student newspaper feature had also covered the same event [s2].
The Venue's Website lists this night, but may not be current.
The Venue's Website says it hosts an open mic every Friday night from 6 to 9 PM, with sign-up at the door (checked Sep 7, 2026) [s1]. That page is evergreen and is not tied to a dated 2026 instance. The only dated article about the mic dates to 2024, so whether it is still active is uncertain.
Weekly on Thursdays, 8:00 PM. Something about this has changed recently — confirm before going.
A listing site describes Old Almaden as a new bar taking over the location of Mike's Place [s1]. A review site carries a closed tag for Mike's Place (checked Aug 15, 2026) [s2]. A map service shows Old Almaden open daily 11 AM-12 AM with the same phone number, (408) 723-9981 (checked Sep 6, 2026) [s3]. The Thursday open mic is unverified there; its advertised programming is live music Friday and Saturday plus karaoke.
Saturdays, 6:00 PM. How often is unclear. Runs seasonally.
Runs only part of the year — check it is in season before going.
Call to confirm the night
A page on metrosiliconvalley.com lists this night, but may not be current.
As of Sep 1, 2026, the only source describing this event remains a 2017 news article [s1]. The city parks department's page could not be reached. The hosting organization's own website, fully checked, doesn't mention this program despite covering its other 2025-2026 events. September falls after this program's claimed summer season, so the venue's current schedule couldn't settle the question either way.
The Venue's Website (checked Sept 1, 2026) agrees this Monday comedy open mic is currently running, 8-10 PM, hosted by Jacob Contreras [s1]. An independent recurring-event listing agrees [s2].

The second Wednesday of each month, 8:00 PM. Something about this has changed recently — confirm before going.
The venue's own ticketing platform, checked Sept 1, 2026, shows this open mic runs the second Wednesday monthly, 8:00-9:30 PM, with seven upcoming instances through March 2027, each confirmed a second Wednesday [s2]. This listing previously showed it running weekly instead. The venue's own FAQ page, not checked earlier, mentions an open mic (checked Sep 5, 2026) [s1]. This listing previously stated the Venue's Website never mentioned one.
A page on makemusicday.org lists this night, but may not be current.
Weekly on Wednesdays, 8:00 PM. Only one source reports it.
The only confirmed 'open mic' tied to this venue is a one-day annual music festival slot, 11am-1pm [s1]. That is not the claimed weekly Wednesday 8pm event, which no other source supports. The Venue's Website, fully read via its events and calendar pages (checked Sep 1, 2026), never mentions an evening open mic [s2]. This looks like a claim invented by conflating the festival slot into a fabricated weekly series.
Weekly on Wednesdays, 10:00 PM. Only one source reports it.
A 2022 magazine article says the mic 'held right up to the shutdown,' language that is ambiguous and now over four years old [s1]. A meetup group's page lists four dated shows here between September 2025 and January 2026 [s2]. That group is a roving promoter that books multiple venues, so those dates are possible corroboration rather than confirmation of a standing show here. The Venue's Website doesn't resolve.
Weekly on Tuesdays, 8:00 PM. The Venue's Website does not mention it.
The Venue's Website, checked twice as of Sep 1, 2026, did not show enough text to confirm or rule out an open mic [s1]. Its public event calendar on a major ticketing site shows a fully booked touring-act nightclub, including a specific booked show on the exact Tuesday night claimed for an open mic [s2]. No source beyond the original open-mic listing site has ever described an open mic here.
Monthly on a Wednesday, 8:00 PM; no source says which week.
Call to confirm the night
Both sources give the same night and time, but neither confirms recent activity.
As of Sep 1, 2026, the venue's own events page shows no current open mic listing [s1]. An events website's page for the venue shows the same [s2]. The only dated instance found, June 4, 2025, is about 15 months old, too old by itself to show a monthly event is still running. A possibly conflicting 'Third Thursday' open-mic mention at this venue could not be checked and is not used as evidence either way.
