The sources disagree about whether it still runs.
The only dated instance of this event comes from an arts council event page dated Oct 11, 2024 [s1]. That is about two years old, so it does not by itself show the event is still running. The same arts council's current open-mic calendar (checked Sep 1, 2026) lists other current September/October 2026 shows but not this venue [s2]. This lowers confidence without proving the event has ended.
A listing on badslava.com lists this night, but may not be current.
Weekly on Thursdays, 10:00 PM. Only one source reports it.
The venue's own events page remains unreadable, appearing as an empty shell rather than a usable page (as of Sep 2026). No source confirms or denies this event.
Weekly on Tuesdays, 8:00 PM. The Venue's Website does not mention it.
The venue's own location page (checked Sep 1, 2026) describes no evening entertainment programming of any kind, let alone an open mic [s1]. This is a soul-food restaurant chain outlet, an unusual host for a recurring music open mic, and no other source corroborates the claim -- though a restaurant page not listing entertainment is not itself proof nothing happens there.
The Venue's Website, checked Sept 1, 2026, currently states 'MONDAY — Open Mic Night' in its programming listing [s1]. Exact start time and format are not given on the page, and a local news article that might have clarified them could not be reached, so confidence is medium.
A page on communitylit.org lists this night, but may not be current.
Weekly on Saturdays, 8:00 PM. Only one source reports it.
The only descriptions of a current weekly schedule trace to an April 2024 curated directory and a rolling listing site (as of Sep 2026). A separate organization's event page was checked directly, but its listed instance is a single closed 2020 registration, no help for currency [s1]. The Venue's Website remains blocked on a third attempt, so its silence or confirmation still can't be assessed.
Weekly on Thursdays, 7:00 PM. The Venue's Website does not mention it.
The Venue's Website, checked Sep 1, 2026, did not show enough readable text to confirm or rule out an open mic [s1]. Descriptions elsewhere describe a curated Saturday jazz residency at this venue instead. Absence on the Venue's Website does not prove the event never existed, but nothing positively confirms it either.
A listing on badslava.com lists this night, but may not be current.
Weekly on Thursdays, 8:00 PM. Only one source reports it.
The Venue's Website confirms it runs frequent programming but names no specific recurring event (as of Sep 2026). A social-media account named for the event could not be found, leaving an unresolved contradiction between a weekly-music claim and a monthly-comedy claim from different sources.
A listing on badslava.com lists this night, but may not be current.
Weekly on Thursdays, 9:00 PM. Only one source reports it.
No source of any kind, listing site or independent, specifically confirms or denies a recurring open mic at The Hawk (as of Sep 2026), and no Venue's Website exists to check.
Both sources give the same night and time, but neither confirms recent activity.
The venue's own events page, checked again, still shows the post describing this poetry night dated Mar 9, 2020, with a site footer copyright reading 2020, suggesting no substantive update since [s1]. The only other source is an April 2024 directory listing; no source found establishes the series is still running in 2026, though nothing states it was discontinued.

The Venue's Website (checked Sep 1, 2026) was fully read and makes no mention of an open mic anywhere [s1]. The original listing site that reported this event also contradicts itself internally about whether it runs Wednesday or Thursday, and no other source corroborates either day.
Weekly on Thursdays, 9:00 PM. The Venue's Website does not mention it.
The venue's own upcoming-events page (re-checked Sep 1, 2026) shows 'open mic' absent from this current, readable page [s1]. This matches an earlier finding. A fresh search found only Thursday drag and cabaret programming, with no source ever corroborating an open mic here. There's also no evidence this event was ever cancelled -- it may simply never have existed as described.
Monthly on a Wednesday, 8:00 PM; no source says which week. The Venue's Website does not mention it.

The sources disagree about whether it still runs.
The venue's own homepage, fully read, doesn't mention an open mic (checked Aug 31, 2026) [s1]. Its own ticketing organizer page, also fully read, doesn't mention one either [s2]. No other source anywhere was found describing an open mic at this venue.
As of Sept 5, 2026, this Monday 7:30 PM mic at 7456 Melrose Ave is running: the operator's own sign-up board shows open slots for Sept 7, 2026, $5 for 5 minutes [s2]. A comedy listing site's calendar lists dated Monday events here through Sept 23 [s3]. A 'permanently closed' tag online names a former tenant at this address, not this room. The same listing site's own post dates that tenant's closing party to 2023 [s5].
Weekly on Thursdays, 7:00 PM. Only one source reports it.
An open-mic listing site claims a standing weekly Thursday open mic. The venue's own social media does not mention it. A bar profile in an entertainment guide is also silent (checked Sep 1, 2026) [s2]. A hip-hop events site lists an 'Open Mic/Open Aux' night hosted by a named artist, with no date and no sign it recurs [s1]. That may be a different kind of night than a live-performance open mic.
Weekly on Mondays, 7:00 PM. Only one source reports it.
A comedy listing site's calendar, checked Aug 31, 2026 (a Monday), shows a dated 'Boom Mic' entry at this venue for that same day, 6:30-9:00 PM [s1]. This is close to, though not identical to, a 7:00 PM start time shown before, and confirms Monday as the correct day.
A listing site read on 2026-09-25 disagrees with the Sunday night here: openmicla.net lists Monday 9-11 PM, record has Sunday. Which is current is unresolved — check before travelling. Something about this has changed recently — confirm before going.

The sources disagree on the night.
The Venue's Website gave an access error on every attempt, and an archived-copy lookup timed out repeatedly, so neither could be read (checked Aug 31, 2026). The only support remains undated secondary listings naming a Sunday 10:00 PM singer open mic hosted by Sean. A separately hosted comedy open mic in the same room is a distinct, unresolved lead.
A Venue's Website read on 2026-09-25 disagrees with the Wednesday night here: chevaliersbooks.com/events shows a Sunday 9/6/2026 poetry open mic, 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.
The Venue's Website and the only independent local news source found were both blocked on every path attempted (checked Aug 31, 2026). A search surfaced a plausible 'Comedy Story Telling, Wednesday, August 27' detail, but with no year stated and no source that could be directly checked, so it wasn't treated as fact; no dated signal, positive or negative, could be obtained.
A page on onthegrid.city lists this night, but may not be current.
Weekly on Tuesdays, 9:00 PM. Only one source reports it.
A neutral third-party listings page (checked Sep 1, 2026) confirms the venue's actual current Tuesday program is 'Two Step Tuesday,' a live classic-country band -- a booked act, not an open-signup mic [s1]. No source, past or current, corroborates an open mic here on any night, though it may be a miscategorized booked show rather than a cancelled one.
A page on losangelesmusic.io suggests it may have ended.
Recent listings, dated as late as August 2026, confirm Crawford's is currently open, so an earlier 'permanently closed' tag elsewhere was stale (checked Aug 31, 2026). The open mic itself, though, has no confirmation elsewhere: a comprehensive Los Angeles open-mic directory, fully read, doesn't mention this venue at all [s1]. The venue also has no website of its own to check.
The venue's own Tuesdays events page, checked Sept 1, 2026, still reads 'every tuesday' with a 9pm-11pm time [s1]. This matches the previously listed Tuesday 9 PM schedule exactly.
Sources mention Fridays but are not confirmed; actual night is unclear. Only one source reports it.

The sources disagree on the night.
A comedy listing site describes a recurring show at the venue's Backroom space on roughly a first-Friday-monthly schedule, with sign-up at 7:45 PM and the show at 8 PM, but that detail could not be confirmed by loading the page directly. A page for the venue that did load, dated Oct 4, 2025, instead describes a Saturday show [s1]. The show's description also doesn't read as an open-signup mic [s1].
Both sources list this event, but neither confirms recent activity.
The Venue's Website (checked Aug 31, 2026) confirms a nightly, hourly comedy open-mic schedule [s1]. A comedy listing site's calendar shows multiple named, timed slots -- including an 11am-1pm block and a 'Writers Room Mic' at 8-9pm -- running on Aug 31 and again the following day, Sept 1, 2026, confirming these are real day-to-day listings rather than a single repeated date [s2].
Weekly on Thursdays, 8:00 PM. The Venue's Website does not mention it.
Other sources describe 'MIDTONES,' a jam session, as this venue's actual recurring event. The venue's own calendar (checked Aug 31, 2026) was fully read: it does not appear there [s1]. Its homepage was also fully read: 'poet' does not appear anywhere on it [s2]. Other information about the venue described only a live-music and DJ nightclub, and no source corroborates the claimed weekly Thursday 8 PM poetry open mic.

The Venue's Website suggests it may have ended.
The venue's own homepage could not be reached, so it neither confirms nor rules out an open mic (checked Aug 31, 2026) [s1]. A comedy industry directory's structured venue map has no entry for this club, mentioning it only in passing text. The only support for this event is an undated listing naming a 'Happy Hour Open Mic.'
A page on losangelesmusic.io lists this night, but may not be current.
A curated music directory (checked Aug 31, 2026) tags this venue's event as an 'Artist Showcase,' distinct from the 'Open Mic' tag it applies to confirmed open mics elsewhere [s1]. The venue's own homepage is minimal and does not mention the event by its claimed name. Whether this event even qualifies as an open mic is unresolved, regardless of whether it currently runs.
The Venue's Website (a Google Sites page) was checked on Aug 31, 2026, with 'open mic' absent [s1]. It was checked again on Sep 5, 2026, also absent [s2]. On a third attempt that same day it redirected to a sign-in wall instead of opening [s3]. This undercuts the earlier readable versions as a stable negative. Other information describes this venue as a DJ/EDM 'ultra lounge.'
Sources mention Thursdays but are not confirmed; actual night is unclear.

No dated signal for this Thursday cypher could be found (checked Sep 1, 2026). The venue's own live site is unreadable. An archived copy is the same [s1]. Its social pages could not be read. A social post corroborates the address but gives an every-third-Thursday cadence [s3]. That conflicts with the weekly schedule claimed here. The venue's ticketing page is active in Sep 2026, via a different program [s2].
Weekly on Mondays, 7:00 PM. Only one source reports it.
A comedy listing site's calendar, checked Aug 31, 2026 (a Monday), shows a dated open-mic entry at this venue for that same day, 7:00-9:00 PM [s1]. This establishes Monday as the day, which had previously been undetermined. The Venue's Website could not be reached to confirm this, so confidence is medium.
