Weekly on Thursdays, 7:00 PM. The Venue's Website does not mention it.
The Press Club's own website describes itself as a private members' organization for journalists, with a paid-membership system, but nowhere mentions an open mic (checked Aug 14, 2026) [s1]. Whether the Thursday event is open to non-members, or requires membership or a member escort, is not stated anywhere on the site.
The cafe's own homepage displays 'OPEN MIC EVERY THURSDAY!' (checked Aug 14, 2026) [s1]. A news site's event calendar lists multiple upcoming dates for it [s2]. It is a nonprofit songwriter mic run with the Albuquerque Songwriters' Cooperative at a sober cafe.

The Venue's Website lists this event, but may not be current.
The festival's own website shows its 2026 edition already concluded, with a 'winners' page and a $150 competitor fee referenced for entries before Feb 15, 2026, confirming it is a current, recurring annual festival (checked Aug 14, 2026) [s1]. The same site lists 'Themed Readings & Open Mics' as part of its 3-day programming. Whether those segments require festival registration or are free for the walk-up public was not established.
The venue's events page suggests it may have ended.
Weekly on Sundays, 5:00 PM. The Venue's Website does not mention it.
The venue's own events page, fully checked, does not mention an open mic anywhere (checked Aug 14, 2026) [s1]. A separate, unconfirmed description claims a full week of programming including an open mic, but that claim was never verified.
Weekly on Saturdays, 7:00 PM. The Venue's Website does not mention it.
The venue's own page confirms it regularly hosts comedy shows and live music in general, but never uses the phrase 'open mic' (checked Aug 14, 2026) [s1]. Its own posted hours list Saturday as 'closed for special events,' which could mean a private booked event is running that day, or that the space is simply not open to the public then; this is not resolved either way.
Sources mention Wednesdays but are not confirmed; actual night is unclear. The Venue's Website does not mention it.

The sources disagree on the night.
The Venue's Website, both its homepage and its events page, is silent on any open mic (checked Aug 14, 2026) [s1]. This venue is confirmed to be the former 'Blue Grasshopper' at the same address. An open-mic listing site describes a Monday open mic here under the old name, contradicting another open-mic listing site's Wednesday claim; the day has not been resolved.
Weekly on Wednesdays, 7:00 PM. The Venue's Website does not mention it.
Hotel Zazz's own homepage and its Vinyl Lounge page are both silent on any open mic (checked Aug 14, 2026) [s1]. The venue does run a separate Stand-Up Comedy Competition on the first, second, and fourth Thursdays, but that is a different night and format from this Wednesday listing.
Weekly on Thursdays, 9:00 PM. The Venue's Website does not mention it.
The club's own Albuquerque page, fully checked, still does not use the phrase 'open mic' anywhere (checked Aug 14, 2026) [s1]. Its navigation names a 'Red Room' alongside a similar name for a Fort Worth location, suggesting a naming pattern reused across cities, not confirmation of an Albuquerque open mic; an earlier claim of one is not treated as established.
Every other Monday, 7:00 PM; which weeks is unclear. The Venue's Website does not mention it.

The sources disagree about whether it still runs.
The venue's own homepage does not mention an open mic (checked Aug 14, 2026) [s1]. An open-mic listing site names this venue for a Monday event [s2]. The venue's own linked events calendar, not checked before, now shows zero upcoming events of any kind for the whole venue, rather than evidence against this one event specifically (checked Sep 5, 2026) [s3].
Both sources give the same night and time, but neither confirms recent activity.
The Venue's Website has no events or calendar page anywhere in its navigation, only a thin homepage and menu pages (checked Sep 5, 2026) [s1]. Its own copyright notice reads 2015-2023, three years out of date [s2]. Because the site carries no events content and is itself stale, an earlier finding that its silence disproved this open mic has been downgraded: the site was never capable of confirming or refuting the event.
A page on openjamevents.com lists this night, but may not be current.
The venue's own homepage and its events page are both silent on any open mic (as of Aug 2026). The only claim that one exists comes from an open-mic listing site whose listed host name repeats across unrelated venues, raising doubt about its reliability.
Weekly on Tuesdays, 7:00 PM. The Venue's Website does not mention it.
The Venue's Website is silent on any open mic (checked Aug 14, 2026) [s1]. Its existence is confirmed by a news site's event calendar, but that listing gives no open-mic details. A same-day claim naming 'Rock 101 Music Academy,' and a separate claim of a Wednesday date, were never confirmed by any source that could be checked.
Weekly on Thursdays, 8:30 PM. The Venue's Website has gone offline since we found this.
The venue's own web address now redirects to an unrelated gambling site and can no longer be used as evidence about the venue at all (checked Sep 5, 2026) [s2]. The last archived version still belonging to the venue dates to Jun 17, 2025 [s3]. The venue's own homepage was earlier found silent on this open mic [s1]. That finding is downgraded to unverified, since the page no longer reflects the venue [s2].
Wednesdays. How often is unclear. Something about this has changed recently — confirm before going.

This venue wasn't lost -- it was renamed. Its former domain redirects to The Smoky Note (checked Sep 5, 2026) [s2]. The Smoky Note says it occupies the historic Fire Station building [s3]. Its calendar lists only booked acts, with no sign of Darin of the Memphis P-Tails' jam [s5]. Yelp, updated August 2026, shows it open Thursday-Saturday only [s4]. A blues site still names the jam, undated; the freshest dated instance is 2022 [s1].

The sources disagree on the night.
The organization's own Albuquerque page states 'Open Mic 6pm Every second THURSDAY!' (checked Aug 14, 2026) [s1]. The same site's dated posts from July, June, and March/April 2026 document ongoing recent activity [s2]. This shows the program is presently live, not a stale carryover from the 2010 article that first surfaced this lead.
Weekly on Tuesdays, 5:00 PM. The Venue's Website does not mention it.
The Venue's Website is a thin, one-screen page with three lines of text, no events or calendar content of any kind (checked Sep 5, 2026) [s1]. Because it carries no events content, an earlier finding that its silence disproved an open mic here is downgraded to unverified. A town site's page describing a Tuesday mic 'with Billy Crooze' now redirects to that site's homepage, which does not mention this venue [s2].
A page on nmgastronome.com lists this night, but may not be current.
An earlier claim that this event had broad confirmation has been downgraded: only one listing site was actually cited as its source (as of Aug 2026). The Venue's Website could not be reached to check. Blog and directory mentions describe a weekly open mic here, but none is dated and none was confirmed by direct visit.
Thursdays, 5:00 PM. How often is unclear. The Venue's Website does not mention it.

The sources disagree about whether it still runs.
Earlier reports that this venue had closed are refuted: its rebuilt website lists bookings through at least a Labor Day Picnic in September 2026, though it is silent on any open mic (checked Aug 14, 2026) [s1]. Its dedicated Mothership page is also silent on the term [s2]. The original open mic, hosted by Ryan 'Looper' Beckwith from 5-7 PM under the pagoda, may not have survived the shift to touring concerts, unconfirmed.
Weekly on Thursdays, 6:00 PM. Only one source reports it.
The city's own official visitor website describes this event in the present tense, running 6:00-8:15 PM with music, poetry, and comedy, free to attend, followed by a booked band (checked Aug 14, 2026) [s1]. No specific upcoming date was found to confirm it is still currently scheduled.
The winery's own website carries a customer review confirming the open mic exists, calling it 'Awesome... Great outdoor venue!' (checked Aug 14, 2026) [s1]. A civic visitor site separately lists an 'Amaro Winery Open Mic Night' corroborating the day and time, but a direct attempt to reach that page for a specific upcoming date failed this time, so no dated instance was reconfirmed.

The Venue's Website suggests it may have ended.
The center's own website is silent on any open mic; its primary published programming is Sunday services (checked Aug 14, 2026) [s1]. Its own contact page shows the phone number has changed from 575-525-9333 to 575-523-4847.
A listing site read on 2026-09-25 disagrees with the Thursday night here: this page's event ran on a Saturday, not the Thursday on file, and is marked "this event has passed" (2023-07-29); could not find a page for the "Desert Voices" 1st-Thursday series named in search snippets. Which is current is unresolved — check before travelling. Something about this has changed recently — confirm before going.

The sources disagree on the night.
The Venue's Website could not be reached due to a technical error, on two separate checks (as of Aug 2026). A news article and a coffee-shop directory both describe this as a monthly, first-Thursday event rather than weekly, though neither has been re-verified.
A civic visitor site's dedicated event page gives this jam's next date as Thursday, Aug 20, 2026, the third Thursday of the month, and states it runs every third Thursday (checked Aug 20, 2026) [s1]. A public radio station and an arts magazine both separately list the same event.

The sources disagree on the night.
The Venue's Website confirms, in its own words, that starting March 2025 'all auditions will be done during Open Mic Mondays,' and that new performers require an audition, with booking done months in advance (checked Aug 14, 2026) [s1]. This confirms the Monday program is current and ongoing, but also confirms new performers face an audition rather than a fully open walk-up sign-up.
The town's own official events website lists this open mic with upcoming Sunday instances -- Aug 16, 23, 30, and Sep 6, continuing through March (checked Aug 16, 2026) [s1].

The brewery's own Hidden Tap page states 'Open Mic / Thursday' in the present tense (checked Aug 14, 2026) [s1]. The town's own tourism calendar separately lists a themed 'Emo Throwbacks Night' open mic at this room for Aug 20, 2026, with sign-up at 6 PM and start at 7 PM, matching the times listed here [s2].
Weekly on Thursdays, 7:00 PM. The Venue's Website does not mention it.
An earlier citation for this location's own site actually pointed to Downshift's separate Hidden Tap location; the correct Riverside pages were checked instead this time (as of Aug 14, 2026). The brewery's homepage is silent on any open mic [s1]. Its Riverside page is silent as well [s2]. The town's own tourism calendar for Aug 14-17, 2026, lists only touring bands at this location, with no open mic [s3].
