The sources disagree about whether it still runs.
A civic visitors-bureau blog post, checked Sep 6, 2026, reports the venue once known as Maloney's Live has been renamed The B-Side Bar [s2]. Another bureau page says it now hosts live performances and open jam sessions at the same address, though whether the recorded open mic continues under the new name is unestablished. An older page under the former name still calls it 'Temporarily Closed,' a stale listing [s1].

The venue's events page suggests it may have ended.
Weekly on Thursdays, 7:00 PM. The Venue's Website does not mention it.
The venue's own current calendar page, checked Aug 14, 2026, makes no mention of an open mic [s1]. Ticketing sites describe this large casino venue's programming as booked bands, tribute shows, and ticketed comedy, with no mention of a community open mic anywhere — a real mismatch, though nothing states one specifically ended here.
