Call to confirm current schedule
The venue's events page lists this night, but may not be current.
The first Wednesday of each month, 7:00 PM. Only one source reports it.
A downtown business association's page for the venue describes an open mic the first Wednesday of every month, starting at 7 PM, as a standing feature (checked Aug 14, 2026) [s1]. Unlike similar pages for other venues on the same calendar, this one lists no dated 2026 instance, and the venue was last confirmed active in December 2024, so whether the open mic still runs is uncertain.
A downtown business association's events calendar confirms repeating, upcoming Tuesday instances of 'Taco Tuesdays and Open Mic Night,' 7 to 11 PM, with several 2026 dates listed (checked Aug 14, 2026) [s1].
The venue's own show calendar confirms a upcoming ''BLUesday Tuesday' Blues Jam' on Aug 25, 2026, with its own dedicated ticketed page (checked Aug 14, 2026) [s1]. An alternating 'SmokeFace Jam Sessions' night is also referenced, but the only dated mention found for it is a past instance from June 23.
Weekly on Thursdays, 7:00 PM. The Venue's Website has gone offline since we found this.
Identification rested only on a description of an 'SCF Studios courtyard jam,' not the Venue's Website (checked Aug 14, 2026). By Sep 5, 2026 the domain had been taken over and now serves unrelated foreign-language gambling content [s2]. Its earlier silence no longer counts as evidence either way. A public archive shows the site still live as recently as Aug 1, 2026, so this looks like the domain lapsing, not the venue closing [s3].
The Venue's Website lists this night, but may not be current.
The Venue's Website could not be loaded due to a technical error, both previously and again now (checked Aug 14, 2026), so it offers no evidence either way [s1]. A listing site shows nearly identical 9 AM open-mic listings for Saturday, Wednesday, and Sunday at the same address, and it is unclear whether this reflects three separate events or a data error.

The venue's own event calendar confirms upcoming Wednesday open-mic and open-jam nights running from August through December 2026, including Aug 19, Sept 2, 9, 16, 23, and 30, and Oct 14, with further dates into November and December (checked Aug 14, 2026) [s1].
A downtown business association's events calendar confirms repeating, upcoming Tuesday comedy open mic instances at 7:30 PM, with several 2026 dates listed (checked Aug 14, 2026) [s1].
Weekly on Mondays, 8:00 PM. The Venue's Website does not mention it.
An open-mic listing site claims a Monday 8 PM open mic here, unconfirmed elsewhere. The homepage's earlier silence on 'open mic' or 'Monday' is no longer treated as evidence, since the page was likely unreadable (checked Aug 14, 2026). By Sep 5, 2026 the site showed only a bare 'Coming Soon' page. A public archive shows it fully live as recently as late July 2026 [s2]. This is a recent change, not proof the event has ended.
The venue's own calendar confirms 'Angry Cow Poetry,' a featured poet followed by an open mic, on the first Wednesday of the month, with a dated instance on Sep 2, 2026 (checked Aug 14, 2026) [s1].
The venue's own calendar confirms 'Comedy Open Mic' on the third Wednesday of the month, with dated instances on Aug 19 and Sep 16, 2026 (checked Aug 14, 2026) [s1].
Weekly, but no source gives the night. Something about this has changed recently — confirm before going.
Call to confirm the night
The sources disagree about whether it still runs.
The venue's own dated events feed confirms both the host, Savanna Rion, and the day, Tuesday, for this open mic (checked Sep 5, 2026) [s2]. The venue's own wording bounds the series to 'every single Tuesday night throughout July,' with four such postings and none for August [s2]. The feed's most recent posting since then is for a different kind of event, so whether the open mic continues into other months is unclear [s3].
The venue's own entertainment page confirms 'Open Stage with Chris Biester' every Wednesday at 9 PM, with content on the page dated as recently as Aug 2026, confirming it is current rather than stale (checked Aug 14, 2026) [s1].
A weekly Thursday open stage, 8 to 10 PM, has been confirmed on the Venue's Website. A fresh check of the homepage on Aug 14, 2026 did not turn up the event specifically [s1]. The page's own last-modified date of Dec 17, 2025 shows the site is actively maintained rather than stale [s1]. Nothing here contradicts the earlier finding.
The venue's own calendar confirms a dated instance of this Thursday jam at 7:30 PM, at 8512 Market Pl Ln, Blue Ash (checked Aug 14, 2026) [s1]. This is an exact match to the corrected address. Five upcoming weekly instances had been found in total.
The Venue's Website lists this night, but may not be current.
A regional open-mic listings page confirms Vintage Estate Wine's Thursday night event, 'Open Mic with Steve Vuich' at 8 PM (checked Aug 14, 2026) [s1]. The listing page itself carries no date, though it says it is actively updated and correctly distinguishes this venue's event from a different night's bingo at another venue nearby, so it is treated as reliable despite lacking an explicit date.
The venue's events page lists this night, but may not be current.
Weekly on Wednesdays. Only one source reports it.
A comedy calendar page for the venue describes a standing Wednesday open mic [s1]. The only dated instance on that same page is from March 2025, about 17 months old, with no more recent date found (checked Aug 14, 2026) [s1]. Whether this is a curated, ticketed showcase rather than an open floor remains an open question.
A Tuesday open mic here has been confirmed on the Venue's Website: sign-up at 6 PM, music at 6:30 PM, three songs per performer, self-signup, with a $1 cover. Checking the same page again on Aug 14, 2026 showed only a sign-in prompt, so this could not be reconfirmed or refuted [s1].
Weekly on Mondays, 8:00 PM. The Venue's Website does not mention it.
Other sources describe the venue as running open mic nights among its programming, though none pin down a specific Monday time. An attempt to check the Venue's Website on Aug 14, 2026 found too little readable text to confirm or rule out anything [s1].
Every other Saturday, 12:00 PM; which weeks is unclear. The Venue's Website does not mention it.

The sources disagree about whether it still runs.
The venue itself is open and operating. Its own events page showed no listings at all when checked on Aug 14, 2026 [s2]. A blues society's own list of local gigs no longer mentions this venue or the BITS Band open jam either [s1]. Neither absence is a dated statement that the jam has ended, so whether it still happens remains unknown.
Weekly on Thursdays, 9:00 PM. Something about this has changed recently — confirm before going.
The venue's own calendar page, checked Aug 14, 2026, lists 'Open Mic (Hosted by Jon Holmes)' as a weekly Thursday event at 9:00 PM [s1]. Its own events feed shows instances on Aug 6, 13, 20, and 27, 2026, each seven days apart [s2]. The event was once shown here as biweekly with a 10:00 PM start; it is weekly at 9:00 PM. Whether it is comedy or music is not stated.
Weekly on Wednesdays, 6:30 PM. The Venue's Website does not mention it.
A 2021 Cincinnati Magazine feature is the original source describing an open mic hosted by Siri Imani at this venue, now five years old [s2]. The venue's own homepage does not mention an open mic or that host, and its events page returns an error (checked Aug 14, 2026) [s1]. No newer source describing this event was found, though nothing states it has closed.
Weekly on Wednesdays, 7:00 PM. The Venue's Website does not mention it.
A 2021 Cincinnati Magazine feature is the original source for a Wednesday open mic at this venue, now five years old [s3]. Three of the venue's own pages, its homepage, general events page, and Blue Ash events page, make no mention of an open mic (checked Aug 14, 2026) [s1]. Current programming is described as live bands every Friday and Saturday night, with no cover, plus trivia, and no open mic anywhere [s2].
The Venue's Website, checked Aug 14, 2026, lists a Wednesday, Aug 26, 2026 show for Pro-Am Night at 7:30 PM [s1]. This matches a standing weekly slot rather than a one-time event.
Night and frequency are unclear — no source gives either.
Call to confirm the night
Both sources list this event, but neither confirms recent activity.
The parent organization's own website confirms Hit the Mic Cincy as one of its two core programs, but the most recent dated content on the site is an event announcement from July 2025 (checked Aug 14, 2026) [s1]. No recurring day or time could be found, though this reflects a lack of a confirmed schedule rather than any sign the program has ended.
The third Friday of each month, 7:30 PM. The Venue's Website has gone offline since we found this.
A listing site gives this open mic's schedule as the third Friday of the month at 7:30 PM (checked Aug 14, 2026) [s1]. No other source confirms this schedule. A separate local business directory confirms the church exists but does not mention an open mic [s2]. The church's own website could not be reached, so it offers no evidence either way.
Wednesdays. How often is unclear. The Venue's Website does not mention it.

The Venue's Website suggests it may have ended.
The venue's own page for this location makes no mention of an open mic, Wednesdays, or trivia (checked Aug 14, 2026) [s1]. This alone does not prove the event doesn't exist, since it's a plausible kind of venue for one, but nothing beyond an initial listing site mention supports it either.
The venue's own homepage, checked Aug 14, 2026, shows a current calendar listing 'MOTR Open Mic w/ Kryst' for Tuesday, Aug 18, 2026, confirming the weekly Tuesday open mic [s1]. It is a long-running, all-original-music night dating to 2010.
Weekly on Wednesdays, 9:00 PM. The Venue's Website does not mention it.
A news article dated Jun 17, 2026 names MVP Sports Bar and Grille with a Wednesday open-mic slot [s1]. The venue's own homepage and events page, both checked Aug 14, 2026, make no mention of an open mic or Wednesday programming [s2]. An open-mic listing site separately lists the same venue under a nearly identical name and address.
