Call to confirm the night
The sources disagree on the night.
Downtown Sioux Falls, a civic organization, lists this weekly Tuesday comedy open mic on its own site with sign-up at 6:30 PM and the show starting at 7:00 PM (checked Aug 14, 2026) [s1]. An open-mic listing site gives the same venue and day but a 7:30 PM start time instead, and the two times are not reconciled [s2].

Weekly on Thursdays, 7:00 PM. The Venue's Website does not mention it.
The Venue's Website covers both 'The Attic Bar & Grill East' and 'The Attic West' as one site and does not mention an open mic on either (checked Aug 14, 2026) [s1]. The page did not show enough text to support that finding, so whether the event exists remains unknown.
The venue's former website no longer represents The Bar and now shows unrelated content, so an earlier finding that it did not mention an open mic cannot be relied on [s1]. A local Sioux Falls events calendar shows a clean, weekly, upcoming Monday recurrence for this type of event, but its entries are not linked to individual pages, so it could not confirm the venue name for this specific listing [s2].
Weekly on Thursdays, 7:00 PM. The Venue's Website does not mention it.
The Venue's Website was checked for a mention of an open mic (checked Aug 14, 2026), but the specific page reached was a dead or catch-all route that returns the same content for any address, so its lack of a mention proves nothing [s1]. The District is a large, roughly 37,000-square-foot concert and event venue, raising a question of whether a standing weekly open mic fits its usual programming.
Weekly on Wednesdays, 8:00 PM. The Venue's Website does not mention it.

The Venue's Website says in present tense that 'open mic and trivia nights are a weekly favorite,' confirming the event's existence (checked Aug 14, 2026) [s1]. The page gives no specific date or update stamp [s1]. That leaves no way to confirm the Thursday, 7:30 PM time listed here is still current.
Weekly on Thursdays, 6:00 PM. The Venue's Website does not mention it.
The Venue's Website was reachable and fully checked (checked Aug 14, 2026); its events page could not be found, and the page overall showed too little readable text to confirm or rule out an open mic [s1]. An open-mic listing site is the only source for the Thursday music night.
Weekly on Fridays, 7:00 PM. The Venue's Website does not mention it.
The Venue's Website, including its events page, was checked directly and does not mention an open mic (checked Aug 14, 2026) [s1]. Zandbroz Variety is a bookstore and variety store, raising a question about whether a Friday-evening open mic fits its usual programming.
Both sources give the same night and time, but neither confirms recent activity.
A 2022 feature in 605 Magazine described a Monday-night open mic at Spearfish Public House, but that article is now more than four years old [s1]. A current Spearfish tourism board page lists a 'Pub House Open Mic' hosted by 'Senor Holtz,' describing a Monday-night schedule that runs year-round with seasonal variations, but the page has no date or update stamp, so it cannot confirm the listing is current on its own [s2].

The South Dakota State Poetry Society's own events calendar shows its 'Poetry on the Road' tour stopped at Spearfish Senior Center on March 13, 2026, but no future date has been announced for this venue (checked Aug 14, 2026) [s1].
