Weekly on Thursdays. The Venue's Website does not mention it.
A 2019 news article describing this open mic's move to Hooley's Public House remains the only substantial source [s1]. That article named a social media page, not one of its own, as the best source for current status, but that page could not be read. Hooley's current website, both its homepage and events page, does not mention an open mic anywhere (checked Aug 31, 2026) [s2]. This isn't conclusive either way.
The venue's own ticket page shows internal metadata marking it updated Aug 27, 2026, four days before Aug 31, 2026, and originally published Aug 14, 2026, indicating an actively maintained listing from the venue itself [s1].
Night and frequency are unclear — no source gives either. The Venue's Website does not mention it.

The Venue's Website suggests it may have ended.
Checked Sep 1, 2026: social-media posts on Instagram and Facebook reference an open mic at this Coffeebar location, suggesting it's a real, recurring event, but none could be read closely enough to determine the day, time, or frequency. The venue's own dedicated page for this location never mentions the event [s1]. No schedule can be confirmed.
A page on dothebay.com lists this night, but may not be current.
The third Thursday of each month. Only one source reports it.
As of Sep 1, 2026, the venue's own homepage and its Redwood City page each fail to show a current open mic. An events website's page for the venue does not show one either [s1]. The venue's confirmed programming is ticketed live-music nights, a different format. An unverified '3rd Thursday' cadence claim could not be confirmed. This doesn't show the event ended either, since the original claim was never confirmed by the venue.
The venue's own dedicated Jam Night page, checked Sept 1, 2026, confirms a currently-running weekly Tuesday jam, 8:30-10:30 PM, describing genuine open participation: 'bring your instrument and jam' [s1]. A separate announcement about reduced walk-in bar hours explicitly frames scheduled events like this one as a new priority, not something being cut.
The venue's own page, re-confirmed unchanged through Sept 1, 2026, agrees this music open mic runs on Tuesday [s1]. A regional events listing agrees [s2]. An open-mic listing site agrees too [s3]. Other information specifically checked for a competing claim that it runs Monday found no source supporting it.
The Venue's Website appears not to mention 'Monday' or 'open mic' [s1]. A later check (Sep 5, 2026) found the site returns the same content no matter what page is requested [s2]. That means the earlier silence can't be trusted as real evidence. The only dated corroboration found is a calendar listing from Dec 2, 2024, about 21 months earlier, so the status is held to unknown, at low confidence.
A listing site read on 2026-09-25 disagrees with the Thursday night here: badslava.com lists Tuesday 8 PM, record has Thursday. Which is current is unresolved — check before travelling. Something about this has changed recently — confirm before going.
Call to confirm the night
The sources disagree on the night.
Several venue-adjacent mentions (a review site, social media) describe a Thursday 8pm event here, consistent with an earlier finding, but the venue's own page remains unreachable due to a persistent connection error. Signup is by emailing in advance rather than a walk-in list, raising an unresolved question about whether this counts as open-signup. A day-of-week contradiction between Tuesday and Thursday claims remains unresolved.
Night and frequency are unclear — no source gives either.
Call to confirm the night
The sources list this event, but none confirms recent activity.
As of Sep 1, 2026, a regional comedy open-mic listing remains the only source naming this comedy open mic [s1]. A review site could not confirm anything further [s2]. A newly found web address confirms the exact address and business name -- the right venue -- but it's only a simple link-in-bio page with no event listings, so its silence means nothing [s3]. No other source corroborates the mic.
A post on instagram.com lists this night, but may not be current.
Weekly on Wednesdays, 7:00 PM. The Venue's Website has gone offline since we found this.
As of Aug 31, 2026, the Venue's Website gave the same error page on every path tried, consistent with a lapsed domain. A promoter's social media account describes 'Open Mic & Karaoke' here, but the only dated post is from March 14, 2025, about 17 months earlier, well beyond what would show a weekly event is still running [s1]. A listing site reconfirms Wednesday but carries no date.
A listing on badslava.com lists this night, but may not be current.
Weekly on Wednesdays, 7:00 PM. Only one source reports it.
No new check was made; an earlier full read of the venue's own current website found no mention of 'open mic,' and no other source has ever corroborated this claim. This is a 1,500-plus-seat touring theater, a venue type ill-suited to a weekly open-signup mic -- this likely reflects a data error about the wrong kind of venue.
Weekly on Saturdays, 10:00 AM. Only one source reports it.
A bluegrass association's own dated post, from Jan 19, 2026, states 'Riverside, CA: Saturdays from 9-noon Inland Empire Bluegrass Jam at Fairmont Park,' with a Beginners Jam Academy 9-10 AM followed by open jam 10-noon [s1]. This post is about seven months old as of Aug 31, 2026, slightly past the usual six-month recency guideline for a weekly event, so confidence is held at medium rather than high.
A listing on badslava.com lists this night, but may not be current.
Weekly on Thursdays, 7:00 PM. Only one source reports it.
As of Aug 31, 2026, the venue's own events page could not be reached again. A general description of the venue's live-music programming (live music Friday and Saturday, karaoke other nights) doesn't mention a Thursday open mic, which is suggestive but not treated as a firm negative, since it wasn't drawn from a full event listing.
Both sources list this event, but neither confirms recent activity.
This location's own page shares the chain's boilerplate monthly-schedule wording (checked Sep 1, 2026) [s1]. That wording matches the Norco page, so the monthly schedule is shared marketing copy, not verified for this address. The page also carries a location-specific street address and a working sign-up form, suggesting upkeep beyond the shared copy [s1]. The chain's location list still shows this one as active [s2].
A downtown business association describes it as 'Can you sing and play the ukulele? Or guitar? Come out and showcase your talents!' — an acoustic string jam, on one source's word.
The fourth Thursday of each month. The Venue's Website does not mention it.
The venue's own homepage, re-checked Sep 1, 2026, did not show enough readable text to confirm or rule out the word 'jam' [s1]. Its dedicated events-calendar page remains blocked from being read, which is not evidence either way. An address contradiction between two possible locations also remains unresolved.
Every other Wednesday, 8:30 PM; which weeks is unclear. The Venue's Website does not mention it.

The Venue's Website suggests it may have ended.
As of Sep 1, 2026, Country Club Lanes' own homepage, fully checked, contains no mention of 'open mic' or 'live music' anywhere, and a dedicated events page could not be reached [s1]. That absence on the venue's own page lowers confidence, though it is not proof the event has ended. No other source corroborates it beyond the original listing.
The venue's own events page, checked Sept 1, 2026, states 'Music Open Mic – Every Monday at 7:00 PM' [s1]. A separate genre directory instead gives an 8:00 PM start with 7:30 PM sign-up at the same address [s2]. The venue's own current listing is treated as the stronger source, though the discrepancy is still noted.
A local Sacramento events write-up calls this 'a Comedy Night that guarantees a night full of laughter,' contradicting the existing music hint, though it is a single source.
A listing on badslava.com lists this night, but may not be current.
Weekly on Mondays, 8:30 PM. Only one source reports it.
As of Sep 1, 2026, no working website could be found for Henry's Lounge, and no other source beyond the original listing could confirm this Monday open mic.
Sources mention Tuesdays but are not confirmed; actual night is unclear.

The sources disagree on the night.
The venue's own calendar (checked Sept 1, 2026) lists at least nine separately dated 'Pro Am Showcase / Open Mic' instances running September through December 2026, confirming a real recurring series rather than a repeated template [s1]. The first instance resolves to Tuesday, 7:00 PM.
Monthly, but no source gives the night. The Venue's Website does not mention it.

The venue's events page suggests it may have ended.
As of Sep 1, 2026, Lavender Library's own full events calendar lists many named recurring programs -- including a support group, several social meetups, and a writers' salon -- but no open mic or open reading among them [s1]. The address matches the original lead exactly, confirming this is the right venue, but the event itself is absent from the current calendar, which weighs against the claim without confirming the event has closed.
A Sacramento music-open-mic directory describes it as featuring house instruments where 'all genres of music and poetry are permitted' — two kinds named, short of the three-plus bar for variety.
Weekly on Thursdays, 7:00 PM. The Venue's Website does not mention it.
As of Sep 1, 2026, Lucid Winery's own homepage, fully checked, contains no mention of 'open mic' anywhere, and a dedicated events page could not be reached [s1]. The phone number and zip code match the original listing exactly, confirming this is the right venue, but the event itself remains unconfirmed.
A post on instagram.com suggests it may have ended.
As of Sep 1, 2026, Old Ironsides' own homepage is readable but its events calendar couldn't be displayed for reading. The venue's own Instagram page, fully checked, also makes no mention of an open mic [s1]. That page does not clearly name this venue, though, so its silence can't be fully trusted as evidence. The status is unchanged and unconfirmed.
Venue's Tuesday slot is described as 'Tuesday Jam Night' where 'lots of good players come out' — a music jam, distinct from the venue's separate Sunday 'Open Mic Comedy.'
A listing on badslava.com lists this night, but may not be current.
Weekly on Tuesdays, 7:00 PM. Only one source reports it.
As of Sep 1, 2026, no working website could be found for On The Y. No other source beyond the original listing confirms this Tuesday open mic; an unverified mention of the venue elsewhere is not used as evidence here.
