About Hop House

Hop House is one of Belfast's open-mic venues on GigXchange — the kind of grass-roots room where new acts get their first stage time and the regulars shape the vibe of the night. Setup, signup process and crowd vary, so always cross-check the details panel above and arrive early if you want a slot.

Planning your Tuesday night

Sign-up opens at 7:30pm. Aim to arrive 15–20 minutes earlier on a popular night — slots fill quickly and there's no waitlist if you miss the cut. Note: this is a 18+ venue.

It's a PA-and-vocal-mic setup, so bring your own instrument and a small amp if you need one. There's no drum kit or guitar amp on stage.
