Weekly on Tuesdays, 8:00 PM. Only one source reports it.

A page on thebendmag.com lists this event, but may not be current.

Both sources give the same night and time, but neither confirms recent activity.

The city's official tourism site has a dedicated event page, checked Aug 15, 2026, with a upcoming instance for Wednesday, Aug 19, 2026, naming host Ray Summy [s1]. The Venue's Website remains silent on 'open mic,' but that gap is not treated as disqualifying given the strength of the dated civic listing.

The sources disagree on the night.

The Venue's Website, checked Aug 15, 2026, has two dated event pages for 'Open Mic Night Third Tuesday hosted by Mattman!', with a promotional image uploaded in June 2026, about two months old, confirming the series is recently maintained [s1]. The same site elsewhere describes the event generically as weekly, every Tuesday; that contradiction with the specific third-Tuesday listings is left standing.

The venue's own homepage does not mention 'open mic' [s1]. A separate page on the same site carries a current weekly Tuesday listing, checked Sep 5, 2026: 'SONGWRITER SOCIAL w/JUSTIN PICKARD (OPEN MIC NIGHT)' [s3]. A news profile of the venue's co-founders, dated Sep 16, 2025, names the same host, Justin Pickard [s2]. Day, type, and host line up with this listing.

The sources disagree on the night.

The venue's own current schedule page states 'Open Mic Thursdays 8:00 PM' as standing programming (checked Aug 14, 2026) [s1]. The page carries no date, so this is a single, undated confirmation.

The promoter's own website, checked Aug 1, 2026, has a page titled 'Open Mic: 09.02.26,' a upcoming Sept 2026 instance, with an image uploaded in July 2026 and an archive listing past open mics through August 2026 [s1]. This series has reportedly been running for 21 years.

The Venue's Website lists this night, but may not be current.

The venue's own dedicated page confirms, in present tense, that this runs every Wednesday at 7:30 PM [s1]. The page's only date information is its publishing metadata, from May 2025, not a dated event instance, and no other dated source was found.

The sources disagree on the night.

The Venue's Website confirms this event runs Sunday at 4:30 PM [s1]. This corrects an earlier claim of 7:30 PM. The page's only date information is its general site metadata, not a dated event instance.

The venue's own event page could not be reached, and no confirmation of a 2026 continuation was found.

The sources disagree on the night.

The Venue's Website describes 'Drinks & Drums Sundays! Live Band Karaoke & Open Mic Every Sunday 4p-1a' as current programming [s1].

Whether the open-mic portion is a genuine open-signup segment or just part of the karaoke format is not stated.

The sources disagree on the night.

The venue's own dedicated open-mic page describes itself, in present tense, as the 'Longest Running OPEN MIC in DFW!' [s1]. The page carries no date or upcoming instance, so this specific claim from the Venue's Website alone does not confirm the event is still running now.

The sources disagree on the night.

The venue's own events page was checked directly and makes no mention of an open mic [s1]. Its homepage showed the same absence earlier. Other listings for this event — one on an open-mic listing site and one on a ticketing site run by an outside host with no confirmed link to the venue — remain unresolved against these negatives from the Venue's Website.

Both sources give the same night and time, but neither confirms recent activity.

The organizer page originally cited for this event now returns an error and no longer resolves.

Comics can sign up in-person starting around 9PM.' [s1]

Weekly on Thursdays, 7:00 PM. Only one source reports it.

A news article, dated Jan 15, 2026 and about seven months old, describes this event hosted by Ryan Berg, with a 7 PM, 8 PM, and midnight structure, above the former Lakewood Theater [s1]. A public radio station's article, dated July 3, 2025 and about 13 months old, agrees with the same detail [s2].

The Venue's Website suggests it may have ended.

The last Wednesday of each month, 7:00 PM. The Venue's Website does not mention it.
