Weekly on Thursdays, 7:00 PM. The Venue's Website does not mention it.
Blue Owl Coffee's own home page does not contain the phrase 'open mic' anywhere. Its events page does not contain it either (checked Aug 14, 2026) [s1]. This event was never confirmed active in the first place — it rests only on an open-mic listing site.
Sources disagree; actual schedule is unclear. Only one source reports it.

The sources disagree on the night.
Dagwood's Tavern & Grill's Facebook page, its only listed contact, could not be read. A source from roughly 14 years ago claims a Tuesday, 10 PM open mic hosted by Jen Sygit. Jen Sygit's own current site confirms she now hosts a different Wednesday open mic at Moriarty's Pub instead [s1]. A 2026 directory round-up instead describes an unnamed-host Thursday open mic here. This day and host contradiction remains unresolved.
Night and frequency are unclear — no source gives either. The Venue's Website does not mention it.

The sources disagree about whether it still runs.
The Michigan Institute for Contemporary Art's own events page makes no mention of an open mic or 'Burning' (checked Aug 2026) [s1]. A separate page describing the gallery's annual Valentine's-season poetry night — in its '21st annual' edition — now shows an error. An archive shows that page was still live as recently as January 2025 [s2]. A listing site's claim of a weekly Sunday poetry mic remains uncorroborated by any source found.
The host's own tour page confirms a upcoming instance on Jul 29, 2026, for 'Open Mic @ Moriarty's Pub,' 802 East Michigan Avenue, Lansing, describing it as running 'every Wednesday,' 8-11 PM, with sign-up starting at 7:30 PM, hosted by Jen Sygit (checked Aug 14, 2026) [s1]. Adjacent dated instances linked from the same page confirm this is a genuinely updated recurring listing, not a fixed, unchanging one.
Sources disagree; actual schedule is unclear. Something about this has changed recently — confirm before going.

The venue's own Facebook page posted within the last week as Sir Pizza's Old Town Pub at 201 E Cesar E. Chavez Ave, (517) 484-4825 (checked Sep 6, 2026) [s1]. The Greater Lansing CVB's 2026 listing describes it in the present tense with a first-Friday Karaoke Night [s2]. The Thursday open mic itself remains unverified; the only named programming is first-Friday karaoke.

Weekly on Tuesdays, 10:00 PM. The Venue's Website does not mention it.
Stober's Bar's own events page, fully read, does not contain the words 'jazz,' 'Tuesday,' or 'live music' anywhere — possibly a hard-to-read calendar rather than a true negative, though the site does not corroborate the jam either way (checked Aug 2026) [s1]. A review site's business listing describing the jam as current could not be reconfirmed; the original source for this listing is about 14 years old.
An archived page from web.archive.org lists this night, but may not be current.
Weekly on Fridays, 6:30 PM. Only one source reports it.
The Fledge's own website could not be accessed directly. An archive shows it runs an active, comprehensive event calendar with dozens of events captured through March 2026 — pitch competitions, wrestling shows, dance parties, tai chi, and karaoke game night among them [s1]. A search of that same archived calendar for poetry- or open-mic-related events found none. An absence alone is not a dated statement the event has ended.
Weekly on Thursdays, 10:00 PM. Something about this has changed recently — confirm before going.
The room is open: a newspaper's weekly gig guide lists Unicorn Bar as a live-music venue (checked Aug 25, 2026) [s2]. A radio station's article confirms it reopened under new ownership as Unicorn Bar [s4]. The Thursday 10 PM blues jam by Frog & the Beeftones is absent from the following week's gig guide, which names other Thursday hosts elsewhere [s3]. A review site's "closed" tag names the previous operator, not this business.
