Open Mics in Ruidoso, NM

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].

The sources disagree about whether it still runs.

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].

The brewery's own events page lists the 'LHB Hootenanny' with a dated instance for Aug 23, 2026, described in the venue's own words as an open sign-up jam (checked Aug 23, 2026) [s1].
