Open Mics in California

Both sources give the same night and time, but neither confirms recent activity.

The sources disagree about whether it still runs.

Weekly on Thursdays, 8:00 PM. The Venue's Website does not mention it.

A listing site's page for this venue carries five upcoming instances (Sep 3–Oct 1, 2026), confirmed as five consecutive Thursdays — genuinely varying, not a template — though that alone is not enough to confirm the event (checked Sep 1, 2026) [s1]. The Venue's Website, fully read, does not mention 'open mic,' Thursday, or the host [s2]. That lowers confidence but does not confirm closure. The host is active at a different venue.

The venue's own homepage mentions 'Open Mic' and 'Karaoke' as separate offerings, with Thursday named for the open mic (checked Sep 1, 2026) [s1]. An alt-weekly's nightlife calendar corroborates the day and time [s2]. The venue's own page carries no date.

Weekly on Thursdays, 7:00 PM. Only one source reports it.

As of Sep 1, 2026, no Venue's Website exists to check directly. A review site was blocked, and a search of a local alt-weekly gave no readable article content. An earlier description of the venue's weekly programming, not mentioning a Thursday open mic, was based on other unconfirmed information rather than a directly read page, so it isn't counted as evidence against the event. Status is unchanged and unconfirmed.

Weekly on Tuesdays, 9:00 PM. Only one source reports it.

As of Sep 1, 2026, the venue's own homepage and events page were both blocked on this attempt -- the events page was already known-blocked from an earlier check, and the homepage now blocks access too. An archive-service check for the events page was also rate-limited. No source could be read. Whether this is a multi-genre live-music night rather than a distinct karaoke night remains unresolved.

Both sources list this event, but neither confirms recent activity.

A listing on openmikes.org lists this night, but may not be current.

As of Aug 31, 2026, an open-mic listing site describes this Thursday 6 PM music open mic [s1]. Another listing site describes the same. The Venue's Website serves only an age-verification page with no content, so no confirmation from the venue itself exists. Listing sites alone are not enough to confirm the event.

The venue's events page suggests it may have ended.

Weekly on Mondays, 7:00 PM. The Venue's Website does not mention it.

The venue's own dedicated events page, checked Aug 31, 2026 and fully read, never uses the word 'mic' anywhere [s1]. An earlier homepage check found the same. This brewery also operates a second, separately listed 'Downtown' taproom at a different address, categorized by a review site as a supply store rather than a taproom -- raising the possibility any entertainment belongs there instead.

An open-mic listing site's map listing shows a genuinely upcoming next event, matching this Sunday listing (checked Sep 1, 2026) [s1]. The Venue's Website also mentions 'Open Mic at Up The Creek Records' multiple times [s2].

A news article on patch.com lists this event, but may not be current.

As of Sep 1, 2026, a local news article from Jan 22, 2021 remains the background source establishing this as a real, long-running civic series [s1]. Two leads were re-tried: a newspaper article was blocked, and the city's program page gave an error. No new source was found. The event's existence is plausible, but its current day, time, and frequency can't be confirmed from any currently readable source.

A page on badgerandjam.com lists this event, but may not be current.

The venue's own shows page lists genuinely varying September and October 2026 dates, some free of charge (checked Aug 31, 2026) [s1]. The same page's FAQ section states plainly that it 'offers hourly open mics every night of the week' [s1]. Higher-priced $30-60 tickets on the same page are for separate, curated showcases; the open mic itself carries only a modest $5 admission, sometimes free.

The sources disagree about whether it still runs.

Weekly on Mondays, 7:00 PM. The Venue's Website does not mention it.

Checked Aug 31, 2026: the venue's own homepage is silent on 'open mic' and Monday, and guessed events/calendar pages failed [s1]. A comedy listing referencing a 'Groundhog Mic' here, dated Nov 17, 2025, is no longer online. A regional comedy open-mic map doesn't list this venue either [s2]. No evidence of closure was found; the venue clearly still operates, with comedy-night programming on its own site.

The host's own schedule page lists five separately dated Thursday sessions -- Sept 3, 10, 17, 24, and Oct 1, 2026 -- each with its own calendar-export link tied to the venue's exact address, with 6 PM and 9 PM slot times (checked Aug 31, 2026) [s1].

A listing on thecomedybureau.com lists this event, but may not be current.

A comedy open-mic listing site's calendar shows a dated entry for 'Potluck' at this venue, 6-8 PM on Aug 31, 2026 [s1]. No second source or the venue's own confirmation could be found, and it's unclear whether this event slot stays the same in future weeks.

The sources disagree about whether it still runs.

The first and third Sunday of each month, 4:00 PM. The Venue's Website does not mention it.

As of Sep 1, 2026, a traditional-music session directory's listing remains at exactly two comments, both 8 to 9 years old [s1]. The count is unchanged from before. The Venue's Website, apparently rebuilt on a new platform, has no mention of the session in any readable content [s2]. No evidence of closure exists, so the status stays unknown rather than ended.

The sources disagree on the night.

A newspaper article's own publish date is Sep 23, 2022, describing this as a brand-new venue at the time -- making the source nearly four years stale [s2]. The venue's live website is blocked from direct reading. An archived capture from Jan 16, 2026 shows 'open mic' absent from the venue's own homepage [s1]. A frequency contradiction between two Friday schedules remains unresolved.
