A listing on allevents.in lists this event, but may not be current.
Occasional. Only one source reports it.
This literary open mic is described as irregular and featured-reader-led rather than a standing weekly schedule, per a tourism site's own page (checked Aug 14, 2026) [s1]. An address contradiction remains unresolved: an earlier assumption places the venue at 440 Chestnut St. A listing site dated Apr 26, 2025 instead gives 444 Chestnut St [s2]. It's unclear whether this is a series hosted at a nearby venue or a separate, adjacent one.
2nd & 4th Tuesday of the month · 7 PM · sign-up 6 PM
Call ahead before you go
A county government events calendar confirms Rebel Rebel's Open Mic, with sign-ups at 6 PM and performances 7 PM to close at the matching address (checked Aug 14, 2026) [s1]. A listing site dated Jul 14, 2026 describes the cadence as the second and fourth Tuesday of each month [s2]. A Berea tourism site says the same [s3]. This resolves a discrepancy where the county calendar's own text described only the second Tuesday.
Weekly on Thursdays, 7:00 PM. The Venue's Website does not mention it.
Braxton Brewing's own homepage, checked directly (checked Aug 14, 2026), does not mention an open mic [s2]. An open-mic listing site named a Thursday open mic here [s1]. No other source confirms it.
The first Sunday of each month. The Venue's Website does not mention it.
The venue's own homepage, checked Aug 14, 2026, makes no mention of an open mic [s2]. Its events page could not be loaded. A poetry society's listing, dated Jun 16, 2025, describes this open mic [s1]. No other corroborating source was found.
A local news profile dated Feb 26, 2026 describes in detail a monthly poetry night held on the last Tuesday of the month [s2]. Another, dated Mar 4, 2026, describes the same [s1]. The Venue's Website could not be text-matched for 'poetry' when rechecked Aug 14, 2026, which is inconclusive rather than a clear sign against it [s3].

Call to confirm current schedule
Both sources give the same night and time, but neither confirms recent activity.
Thursdays, 8:00 PM. Runs seasonally.
A review site's Q&A cited earlier could not be reread (checked Aug 14, 2026) [s1]. A Feb 2020 blog post describes a courtyard open mic that runs 'when the weather's nice,' suggesting it may be seasonal rather than year-round [s2]. That remains the only substantive source, and it is now over five years old; no 2025 or 2026-dated source was found.
A page on themountaineagle.com lists this night, but may not be current.
Weekly on Fridays, 6:45 PM. Only one source reports it.
A direct attempt to load this event's dedicated page failed (checked Aug 14, 2026) [s2]. The same link still fails. A local newspaper's site search surfaces a mention from Nov 18, 2020 [s1]. No 2025 or 2026-dated instance could be found, and no other confirming evidence exists.
Weekly on Thursdays, 7:00 PM. The Venue's Website does not mention it.
The Venue's Website has no events, calendar, or entertainment section at all, so its silence about a Thursday open mic does not confirm or rule it out (checked Sep 7, 2026) [s2]. An open-mic listing site describes this event [s1]. No other source does.
Weekly on Thursdays, 7:00 PM. The Venue's Website does not mention it.
The Mixer's own homepage, checked directly (checked Aug 14, 2026), does not mention an open mic [s2]. An open-mic listing site named a Thursday open mic here [s1]. No other source confirms it.
The venue's Do502 listing page does not mention an open mic (checked Aug 14, 2026) [s2]. An open-mic listing site names a Thursday open mic here [s1]. A separate, uncited description elsewhere is consistent with that claim but could not be dated.
Weekly on Mondays, 8:00 PM. Only one source reports it.
The Venue's Website could not be reached (checked Aug 14, 2026). An archived history shows only captures from 2010-2011, too old to use [s3]. A campus radio station's current Monday digest names a different venue's open mic, not this one, and its listings for this venue that week are all booked acts, none an open mic [s4]. An open-mic listing site gives one day of the week [s1]. A venue booking site gives a different day [s2].
A page on kystatepoetrysociety.org lists this night, but may not be current.
The Kentucky State Poetry Society's listing describes this poetry open mic, dated June 2025, about 14 months old (checked Aug 14, 2026) [s1]. No more recent or independent confirmation has been found, so whether it still runs monthly is unknown.
Weekly on Wednesdays, 8:00 PM. The Venue's Website does not mention it.
As of Aug 14, 2026, an open-mic listing site names a Wednesday music open mic here [s1]. A later recheck found the venue's own homepage could not be used as reliable evidence either way [s2]. Its events page, checked the same day, likewise could not be used as evidence either way [s3]. No other source confirms this event separately from the venue's confirmed monthly poetry open mic at the same address.
4th Wednesday of the month · 6:30 PM · sign-up 6 PM
Call ahead before you go
The Carnegie Center's own events page, checked Aug 14, 2026, lists two specific upcoming dates for 'Burn The Mic': Aug 26, 2026, hosted by Claudia Love Mair, with sign-ups at 6 PM and the open mic 6:30-7:30 PM, and Sep 23, 2026, featuring Mya Sophia [s1]. Both fall on the fourth Wednesday of their month, matching the recurring pattern.
Weekly on Wednesdays, 8:00 PM. The Venue's Website does not mention it.
The venue's own shows page, checked Aug 14, 2026, makes no mention of an open mic [s2]. An open-mic listing site says this runs Wednesdays, weekly [s1]. Another uncited claim says first Tuesday, monthly, with a $5 cover. Neither is corroborated by the venue's own current page, and neither is confirmed.
Both sources give the same night and time, but neither confirms recent activity.
The Venue's Website could not be loaded, blocked by a security check (checked Aug 14, 2026), so it offers no evidence either way. A local visitor-information site confirms the venue exists but does not mention an open mic [s2]. An open-mic listing site names a Thursday open mic here [s1]. No other source confirms it.
Weekly on Fridays, 8:00 PM. Only one source reports it.
A public radio station's current Friday events digest, checked Aug 14, 2026, lists a stand-up comedy open mic at Ethereal Slice House at 8:00 PM [s1]. The same calendar page shows other current-week bookings elsewhere, indicating it is actively maintained rather than stale.
A listing on allevents.in lists this event, but may not be current.
Occasional. Only one source reports it.
The only dated instance of this poetry series, 'Soulbrations 4' on Jul 9, 2024, is now over two years old [s2]. Its organizers describe the series as varying by edition, so the day and frequency cannot be pinned down, and whether it still runs in 2026 is unconfirmed. A poetry-society listing from June 2025 also mentions the series without settling the schedule [s1].
Weekly on Wednesdays, 7:00 PM. The Venue's Website does not mention it.
J. Render's own homepage, checked Aug 14, 2026, does not mention an open mic [s2]. Its events page, checked the same day, also does not mention one [s3]. This silence doesn't rule out the event. Only an open-mic listing site names a Wednesday open mic here [s1].
Weekly on Mondays, 5:30 PM. The Venue's Website does not mention it.
The venue's own dedicated open-mic page, rechecked Aug 14, 2026, shows no dates newer than Feb 2022 [s2]. This does not support an earlier claim of weekly instances through Aug 2026. A public radio station's events calendar lists 'Music Open Mic Night' here Mondays at 5:30 PM, with other current bookings for this venue that week, so it appears actively maintained [s1]. The verdict rests on that calendar, not the venue's page.
The first Wednesday of each month, 6:00 PM. Only one source reports it.
The host's own blog carries photo galleries with embedded capture timestamps from January and June 2026, showing this poetry night was documented as recently as June 2026 [s2]. A Kentucky State Poetry Society listing that first named the series is dated June 2025 [s1]. The blog's evidence is more current.
Night and frequency are unclear — no source gives either. Only one source reports it.
Call to confirm the night
The sources disagree about whether it still runs.
The last confirmed date for this poetry series, La Voz, was Jun 17, 2025, about 14 months ago [s1]. The Carnegie Center's current events calendar, checked Aug 14, 2026, does not list it among upcoming events [s2]. The series moves between three locations, so this does not rule it out, and whether it still runs is unconfirmed.
Two 2024 dates land on the 2nd Wednesday, but the only 2025-or-later instance found (a themed Mental Health Awareness edition) falls on the 4th Wednesday -- and it isn't clear whether that was the regular series or a special one-off. Only one source reports it.
Call to confirm the night
The sources disagree on the night.
The library's own event page, rechecked Aug 14, 2026, still shows the same listing it carried two years ago, unchanged since then [s1]. Whether this poetry open mic still runs in 2026 is unconfirmed.
Weekly on Thursdays, 7:30 PM. The Venue's Website does not mention it.
Shamrock's own homepage and events page do not mention an open mic (checked Aug 14, 2026) [s2]. A public radio station's current Thursday listings also do not include this venue [s4]. A second open-mic listing site lists the venue but gives no day [s3]. An open-mic listing site names Thursday [s1]. No source dates the claim.
The Burl is a heavily booked touring venue, and no other source confirms it runs a weekly amateur open mic. Its homepage could not be read (a script-only stub). Its Do502 listing page, checked Aug 14, 2026, does not mention an open mic [s2]. Only an open-mic listing site names a Wednesday open mic here [s1].
No Venue's Website exists for The Green Lantern Bar. A public radio station's current Thursday events listing, checked Aug 14, 2026, does not include this venue [s3]. An open-mic listing site names a Thursday open mic here [s1]. No independent dated confirmation was found. An earlier claim of a Sunday open mic could not be traced to any source and is disregarded.
Both sources give the same night and time, but neither confirms recent activity.
The venue's own social media post said to confirm an open mic could not be re-examined: the page loaded with no readable text (checked Aug 14, 2026) [s1]. One listing site calls this a music event. Another listing site calls it a comedy event [s2]. The venue's own homepage and events pages, checked earlier, do not mention an open mic at all.
