Sources mention Thursdays but are not confirmed; actual night is unclear.
Call to confirm the night
The sources disagree on the night.
An open-mic listing site describes this as a weekly Wednesday event at 5 PM [s1]. A review site describes it instead as a Thursday, all-formats open mic [s2]. That review site's own 'updated March 2026' note reflects only when the page was last edited, not the event date. No website was found for the venue, and the day and start time remain unresolved.
A listing on badslava.com lists this night, but may not be current.
The Venue's Website could not be reached to check directly. Other sources confirm Dempsey's Public House is a real, current venue, but the Thursday open mic itself rests solely on an open-mic listing site, and could not be confirmed or refuted [s1].
Weekly on Thursdays, 8:00 PM. The Venue's Website does not mention it.
The venue's own homepage (checked Aug 14, 2026) is real, readable text with hours Monday-Thursday 3-9 PM and Friday-Saturday 3 AM-2 AM, but does not mention an open mic anywhere, and its calendar and events pages could not be found [s2]. No confirmation was found of the Thursday open mic listed by an open-mic listing site [s1].
The second Thursday of each month, 7:00 PM. The Venue's Website does not mention it.
The Venue's Website (checked Aug 14, 2026) does not mention an open mic, poetry, or Thursday anywhere, though Parachigo describes itself as a volunteer-run, bookable space open to rentals any night, so a tenant's programming might not appear there [s3]. The only source describing this event, The Arts Partnership, is now about 2.7 years old, beyond the roughly 12-month window expected for a monthly open mic [s1].
Weekly on Tuesdays, 9:00 PM. The Venue's Website does not mention it.
The Venue's Website is reachable and does not mention an open mic, but every dated item on it is roughly 13 years old, so its silence carries little weight as current evidence one way or the other (checked Aug 14, 2026) [s2]. The Tuesday, 9 PM schedule rests solely on an open-mic listing site, which alone is not enough to confirm it [s1].
A review on untappd.com lists this night, but may not be current.
Weekly on Sundays, 8:00 PM. Only one source reports it.
The Venue's Website did not show any mention of an open mic, but the site appears to be an app-like shell that may not display real page text, so this is not treated as reliable evidence either way. A review site shows check-ins confirming the bar is still operating, as recently as May 2026 [s2]. The strongest evidence for an open mic here is a 2009-2011 award, more than 15 years old.
The host's own website says this is a monthly open mic with a rotating theme, instruments provided, and a supportive audience, located at the Troll Lounge inside Sons of Norway, 722 2nd Ave N, Fargo -- performers under 21 need a parent present (checked Aug 14, 2026) [s1].
A listing on badslava.com lists this night, but may not be current.
An open-mic listing site names a weekly Wednesday open mic here [s1]. The Venue's Website could not be reached to check directly. The Aquarium is a roughly 260-capacity touring and national-act live-music room, an unusual kind of venue to also run a weekly open-signup mic, and this could not be confirmed or refuted.
Both sources give the same night and time, but neither confirms recent activity.
The Venue's Website says 'Open Mic Comedy' runs every Wednesday night, hosted by Marquay Belcher, with room for up to 20 comedians (checked Sep 7, 2026) [s1]. A local events calendar lists a specific dated instance for Wednesday, Sep 9, 2026 at 8:00 PM [s2].
The Venue's Website describes a Wednesday comedy open mic with doors at 7 PM, sign-up at 7:30 PM, and the show starting at 8 PM, with room for up to 25 comedians (checked Aug 14, 2026) [s1].
Weekly on Thursdays, 7:00 PM. The Venue's Website does not mention it.
The venue's own homepage (checked Aug 14, 2026) confirms it hosts live bands every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, but does not mention an open mic anywhere on the page [s2].
