The venue's events page suggests it may have ended.
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An archived page from web.archive.org lists this night, but may not be current.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.
Weekly on Thursdays, 7:00 PM. The Venue's Website does not mention it.
As of August 2026, neither Black Label Tavern's Livonia locations page nor its home page mentions an open mic anywhere [s1]. The Thursday open mic listing otherwise comes from an open-mic listing site only.
The venue's events page suggests it may have ended.
Weekly on Thursdays, 7:00 PM. The Venue's Website does not mention it.
As of August 2026, One Under Bar & Grill's own Events Archive page makes no mention of an open mic [s1]. A broader search turns up only generic weekend live music from cover bands, not a Thursday open mic specifically.
Every other Wednesday, 8:00 PM; which weeks is unclear.

A page on sites.google.com lists this night, but may not be current.
No working website for Plymouth Roadhouse exists, and a review site, Facebook page, and a news outlet's community page were all inaccessible. A broader search turned up only hours, menu, and contact information, with no mention of a Wednesday open mic. Current status could not be confirmed.
A locally maintained day-by-day music listings column confirms 'Drifa – open mic with Double GG 6-8' on Monday the 10th, a specific dated entry rather than generic template text [s1]. Drifa Brewing Company's own website could not be checked directly; it timed out again.
An arts events site's own page confirms 'PWPL Presents: Marquette Poets Circle' at Peter White Public Library's Shiras Room, dated Jan 8, 2026, 6:30–8 PM [s1]. That dated instance is now about seven months old, past the roughly six-month window this site treats as current for a weekly event, though the page describes it as a standing weekly program — a workshop at 6:30 followed by open mic from 7:15 — rather than a one-off.
Hiawatha Music Co-op's own website confirms this jam by name for two dated May 2026 Sundays, May 3 and May 17, 3-5 PM at 1015 N Third St (checked Aug 14, 2026) [s1]. Its current standing community-events page still lists the Phil Watts Old Timey Jam as an ongoing 1st-and-3rd-Sunday event, though it notes some jams pause for summer [s2]. No summer 2026 announcement naming this jam was found, so continuation could not be confirmed.
The Venue's Website lists this night, but may not be current.
Weekly on Wednesdays, 7:00 PM. Only one source reports it.
The Venue's Website never describes a sign-up process (checked Aug 14, 2026) [s1]. This may mean 'Live Music Every Wednesday!' describes a booked act, not an open mic. A local music-scene site calls a Wednesday SLABZ event an open mic, but no listing on its page, for any venue, mentions signing up [s2]. The same page also lists a separate SLABZ event that week, 'Sunday nightcap music.' Whether this is an open mic remains unresolved.
Sources mention Sundays but are not confirmed; actual night is unclear.

The sources disagree on the night.
Hiawatha Music Co-op's own website confirms the Slow Fiddle Jam by name for two dated May 2026 Sundays, May 3 and May 17, 1–3 PM at 1015 N Third St [s1]. Its current standing community-events page still lists the jam as an ongoing 1st-and-3rd-Sunday event, though that same page notes some jam sessions pause for the summer [s2]. No summer 2026 announcement naming this jam was found, so continuation could not be confirmed either way.
A local music-scene site's current-week listings confirm 'Superior Culture – open mic 8-11' on Tuesday the 11th [s1]. This has not been confirmed on the Venue's Website or social media.
Weekly on Thursdays, 7:00 PM. Only one source reports it.
The Coffee Box's own website confirms this as a weekly Thursday event, 7–9 PM: it opens with a musical open mic, with sign-ups at the door, and closes with a community jam session; it's BYOB [s1].
River's Edge Brewing Co.'s own event page confirms 'Rock the House: Full Band Open Mic' on Wednesday, Aug 19, 2026, hosted by Funderbird's Greg Koenig [s1]. This also corrects the venue name at this address — it is River's Edge Brewing Co.'s Warehouse space, not Michigan Rock School, as previously listed.
Monthly on a Monday, 5:30 PM; no source says which week.

Hackley Public Library's tagged events page could not be accessed (checked Aug 2026) — not evidence either way — and an archive check for that page found no results, which is inconclusive rather than contradictory. The library's own calendar previously showed two dated instances of this open mic, May 18 and Aug 24, 2026, both Mondays; nothing found now contradicts that.
The domain that once hosted Campfire Coffee's website now serves unrelated content and no longer represents the venue, so it could not be used to check for an open mic (checked Aug 14, 2026) [s2]. A local music-scene site's claim of a Wednesday, 5 PM start is one possible source for this event [s1]. It has not been corroborated by any other source.
Upper Peninsula Brewing Company's own event calendar lists 'Open Mic Night at UPBC' as its own distinct event, with a dated instance on Monday, Aug 24, 2026, 7 PM, separate from its other listed events like Trivia Tuesdays and Beer Bingo [s1]. A local music-scene site's current-week listings for Aug 10–16, 2026 confirm a Monday, 7 PM open mic at UPBC [s2].
The Wrigley Center's own website confirms it runs 'rotating events such as open mic, DJ night, hosting of all football games and our Bloody Mary Bar Sunday' [s1]. The venue itself confirms the open mic as a real, standing rotating event, though it does not fix a specific day for it.
Dessert Oasis Coffee Roasters' own Royal Oak location page confirms a weekly Wednesday open mic, 7–9 PM, with sign-up 30 minutes prior [s1]. That corrects an open-mic listing site's earlier stated sign-up time. The genre is not stated by the venue and remains unconfirmed.
A news article on metrotimes.com lists this night, but may not be current.
The second Saturday of each month, 6:00 PM. Only one source reports it.
A 2016 Metro Times feature places Peaceful Poetic Places at Royal Oak Woman's Club, 404 S. Pleasant St., Royal Oak, every 2nd Saturday, 6–10 PM, with a $10 cover [s1]. No source more recent than this decade-old article was found.
A listing on openmikes.org lists this night, but may not be current.
An open-mic listing site lists 'Open Mike – Musicians Night' here on Mondays at 10 PM, hosted by Clayton C. No other source mentions it, so it is unconfirmed. No website was found for the venue, and a possible Facebook page could not be read.
Night and frequency are unclear — no source gives either.

The venue's events page lists this event, but may not be current.
A regional blues society's own calendar confirms 'West Michigan's Famous Sand Bar Blues Jam Featuring Members of The Butler Street Drivers' at Sand Bar Saloon in Saugatuck, 3–7 PM, distinct from other booked acts appearing at the same venue [s1]. The day of the week could not be determined from the calendar.
Night and frequency are unclear — no source gives either. Only one source reports it.

The Venue's Website lists this event, but may not be current.
The library's own event page for this open mic, dated Jul 21, 2022, gives a single instance on Tuesday, Aug 23, 2022, with no recurrence noted [s1]. The library's own site shows four separate dated posts about an open mic here between July 2022 and May 2023 [s2]. The library's blog has published continuously every month since, through August 2026, but has posted nothing more about an open mic since May 2023.
Box Factory for the Arts' own website confirms an upcoming Wednesday date for 'Out of the Box Open Mic' on its Main Stage, Aug 19, 2026, 6:30-9 PM (checked Aug 14, 2026) [s1]. A second dated page confirms another Wednesday instance, Aug 26, 2026 [s2]. A third confirms Sep 2, 2026 [s3]. This resolves an earlier frequency contradiction: the schedule is weekly now; an older post describing a monthly first-Wednesday program is out of date.
Every other Friday, 7:00 PM; which weeks is unclear.

A listing on openmikes.org lists this night, but may not be current.
An open-mic listing site shows a consistent biweekly-Friday pattern of forward dates for Strand Theater's open mic — Aug 14, Aug 28, Sep 11, Sep 25, and Oct 9, 2026 — but a listing site alone is not enough to confirm this as active, however consistent the pattern looks. Two guessed venue domain names for the theater both failed to resolve.
A tourism board's own event page for Left Foot Charley confirms the text 'Recurring weekly on Monday' (checked Aug 14, 2026) [s1]. The open mic, hosted by Rob Coonrod in the Barrel Room, is corroborated by this page's explicit recurrence language.
MiddleCoast Brewing Company's own website currently lists its weekly programming: 'Mug Club Mondays, Wednesday Night Trivia, Open Mic Night Thursdays, Live Music Fridays, Sunday Brunch & more!' [s1].
