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.

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.
No website exists for Timmy Two Time's. A public radio station's recurring-events calendar, checked Aug 14, 2026, confirms open mics at two other Lexington venues that same day but does not list a Monday event here [s2]. Only an open-mic listing site names a Monday open mic here [s1]. No independent confirmation exists.
A listing on allevents.in lists this night, but may not be current.
Weekly on Thursdays, 7:30 PM. Only one source reports it.
An open-mic listing site could not be reverified, blocked by a security check rather than a genuine sign against it [s2]. Another listing site's 'Open Mic Sundays' listing is dated Apr 27, 2025, about 16 months old as of Aug 14, 2026 [s3]. A Thursday claim, instead, comes from an open-mic listing site [s1]. The Sunday and Thursday claims remain an unresolved contradiction, and no Venue's Website exists to confirm either day.
