The Venue's Website says 'Flooded Poetry & Prose' (also called Poetry Pierogi) runs every Monday, with sign-up at 6:30 PM and the show from 7:30 to 9:00 PM (checked Aug 14, 2026) [s1].

Both sources give the same night and time, but neither confirms recent activity.

Other event listings, in several distinct dated editions each featuring a different comic, confirm a recurring 'Slice of Life Comedy Open Mic' series here [s2]. This is comedy, not music as originally recorded. The listings page itself could not be loaded directly, so a specific current date could not be pinned down (checked Aug 14, 2026).

The sources disagree on the night.

An open-mic listing site shows a Thursday, 7:00 PM open mic at this address [s1]. Another listing site agrees. A social media photo post, however, is titled 'Tuesday Night Open Mic Comedy Freakshow,' describing a different night and a comedy format at the same venue [s2]. Whether Thursday is truly the music open mic night, or the real recurring mic is actually the Tuesday comedy 'Freakshow,' is unresolved.

The sources disagree on the night.

The library system's own current calendar pages do not currently mention an open mic (checked Aug 14, 2026) [s1]. Other sources describe a separate, occasional 'Poetry Mixer' and an 'Open Mic Poetry' event hosted by Francisco Hernandez, but neither resolves a longstanding conflict over whether this runs on Saturday or Thursday, which remains unresolved.

Weekly on Thursdays, 7:00 PM. Only one source reports it.

The venue's own homepage does not mention an open mic; a guessed events page could not be loaded, so nothing can be inferred from that attempt (checked Aug 14, 2026) [s2].

The Venue's Website lists this night, but may not be current.

The Venue's Website names 'Open Mic' as one of its regular programmed nights, alongside trivia, karaoke, bingo, and a run club, confirming the event exists in its own words, though without a stated genre [s1]. Its events page, showing only near-term dates, does not repeat the mention, likely because this recurs monthly (checked Aug 14, 2026) [s2]. No day or date was confirmed.

A page on macs-tavern.wixsite.com lists this night, but may not be current.

Weekly on Tuesdays, 8:30 PM. Only one source reports it.

The venue's own events page does not mention an open mic (checked Aug 14, 2026) [s2]. A dedicated social media group for the event was found in search but could not be loaded to confirm directly.

Weekly on Wednesdays, 7:00 PM. Only one source reports it.

The venue's own events page, a large and active calendar, does not mention an open mic (checked Aug 14, 2026) [s2]. This is a genuine sign against it on the page itself, not dated evidence the event has ended.

A listing on badslava.com lists this night, but may not be current.

An open-mic listing site names this venue for a Thursday open mic [s1]. No mention of an open mic was found in hotel-review or booking-site results for this boutique inn, and no venue-owned confirmation was located (checked Aug 14, 2026).

Both sources give the same night and time, but neither confirms recent activity.

Weekly on Tuesdays, 8:00 PM. Only one source reports it.

The Venue's Website once hosted a dated event page for 'Bart's Open Mic Night,' dated Nov 26, 2024, confirming the event was real and open to all genres, not music-only [s2]. That page no longer exists, and the venue's current homepage does not mention an open mic at all (checked Aug 14, 2026) [s3]. The freshest dated evidence is from Nov 2024, well before Aug 14, 2026.

The sources disagree on the night.

This listing is for Common Market's Plaza Midwood location, 2006 Commonwealth Avenue. An open-mic listing site lists a Thursday music open mic here (checked Aug 13, 2026) [s1]. Other descriptions of this location's Thursday programming instead call it 'Trivia Thursdays,' not an open mic -- a direct conflict with that claim. Common Market's actual open mic nights are described elsewhere at its South End location instead.

A ticket page on meetup.com lists this night, but may not be current.

The last Saturday of each month. Only one source reports it.

A 2024 article refines the cadence to the last Saturday of every odd-numbered month, quoting 'our 15th show' [s1]. A 2023 listing and a Jan 25, 2025 listing describe the same odd-month pattern. A Nov 29, 2025 listing also agrees [s2]. The organizing group's page is active with frequent events into Aug 2026, but references several venue locations, so this venue's cadence could not be pinned to a 2026 date (checked Aug 14, 2026) [s3].

The sources disagree on the night.

A civic events listing, checked Aug 14, 2026, confirms Common Market SouthEnd's Friday open mic is comedy, hosted by Jacob Manlucu [s2]. This is not music, as recorded here. A current open-mic listing page agrees. Other sources separately describe a music open jam at the same venue on Tuesday. Either this listing has the wrong day for its music event, or the Friday comedy event was mistyped as music; this is unresolved.
