The venue's own events page lists a recurring Thursday open mic, 'Open Mic Night with Rob D,' with a page image dated Apr 1, 2026 [s1]. An open-mic listing site gives the same day, time and address. The host's name is similar to Rob Dye, who hosts a different open mic at Jamian's in Red Bank, but nothing confirms they're the same person — this is treated as a coincidence, not a match.
Night and frequency are unclear — no source gives either.

A page on blvdbarandgrill.com suggests it may have ended.
An open-mic listing site names this venue for an open mic, though the site itself is newer and unproven, and the claim couldn't be confirmed. The venue's own homepage does not mention an open mic (checked Aug 13, 2026) [s1].
The venue's events page suggests it may have ended.
Weekly on Thursdays, 7:00 PM. The Venue's Website does not mention it.
The venue's own events page does not mention an open mic (checked Aug 13, 2026) [s1]. Two open-mic listing sites describe a Thursday open mic around 7 PM at this venue. The venue's silence doesn't confirm the mic has ended, so its status is uncertain.
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 organization's own website confirms a page exists for 'One Mic One Soul Open Mic Night,' so the event is real and currently listed on the live site, but its schedule content — day, time and date — could not be read [s1]. The venue's address also remains unconfirmed. Checked Aug 13, 2026.
AC Jokes' own website says every performer who signs up gets 5 minutes of stage time, with a chance to go up again if time remains, confirming open sign-up rather than a bringer or guest list (checked Aug 13, 2026) [s1]. The site's navigation also lists a separate page for other venues on its comedy circuit, though no day or time was found for those other shows.
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 club's own open-mic page confirms an Open Mic category exists but says "We have no upcoming shows, but stay tuned for news on more shows soon" (checked Aug 13, 2026) [s1]. Its events page, also checked, does not mention an open mic either [s2]. That gap reads as a pause rather than a closure, but whether the open mic is currently running is unconfirmed.
The Venue's Website shows a poetry open mic scheduled for Wed, Aug 19, 2026, hosted by Dimitri Reyes (checked Aug 13, 2026) [s1]. Though affiliated with Stockton University's Murphy Writing Center, the event is held off-campus at Noyes Arts Garage, open to the public, with a livestream option.
The venue's own events page lists an Open Mic Night for Wednesday, Sep 2, 2026, running 6:00-9:00 PM with doors at 6 PM (checked Aug 13, 2026) [s1]. Sign-up is by email to the host; how often the event repeats is not established.
A Venue's Website read on 2026-09-25 disagrees with the Thursday night here: Thursday event is 'Thunder Thursday' DJ dance party, not an open mic. Which is current is unresolved — check before travelling. Something about this has changed recently — confirm before going.

The sources disagree on the night.
Found on an open-mic listing site; not yet checked against other sources. The same listing site includes this venue twice under slightly different spellings ('Seashell' and 'Sea Shell'), which may be one venue listed twice rather than two separate rooms.
Both sources give the same night and time, but neither confirms recent activity.
An open-mic listing site names a Sunday open mic here (checked Aug 13, 2026) [s1]. A Montclair-area roundup article from Jan 24, 2025 also mentions it [s2]. No more recent confirmation was found.
The Venue's Website lists 'Open-Mic w/ Jimm Ross' running every Sunday from Aug 16 through Dec 6, 2026 (checked Aug 13, 2026) [s1]. An earlier newspaper round-up describing the event was from 2016 and is now out of date.
A listing on badslava.com lists this night, but may not be current.
Weekly on Fridays, 9:00 PM. Only one source reports it.
Found on an open-mic listing site (checked Aug 13, 2026) [s1]. No other source could confirm it. It's also unclear whether this is a members-only post, which would affect whether it counts as a public open mic.
The first Friday of each month, 7:00 PM. The Venue's Website does not mention it.
The center's own program-specific subdomain gives this event as running on Fridays (checked Aug 13, 2026) [s1]. A South Jersey visitor site independently agrees on Friday. The center's general homepage does not mention 'open mic' or 'the Loft,' but that's only the homepage of a large multi-program site, not conclusive on its own [s2]. An open-mic listing site agrees on Friday; sources differ on whether it starts at 7:00 or 7:30 PM.
A listing on badslava.com lists this night, but may not be current.
Weekly on Mondays, 9:00 PM. Only one source reports it.
Found on an open-mic listing site (checked Aug 13, 2026) [s1]. No other source could confirm it. It's also mentioned elsewhere online as a notable open-mic venue in the area, though without a specific page to check.
A county government arts site's listing for this event, dated Jun 14, 2025, remains the freshest evidence found, about 14 months old (checked Aug 13, 2026) [s1]. A repeat visit to the same site turned up only a generic government page rather than a specific dated listing, which is inconclusive rather than proof the event has stopped.
