About This Open Mic
The Night
Metrocola runs a relaxed, welcoming open mic every Tuesday from 8pm to 11pm — open to all genres and abilities. There's no need to register in advance: just turn up on the night and add your name. It's a friendly city-centre spot where solo songwriters and acoustic acts thrive, and the crowd is used to hearing original material. Free entry; bring your own instrument.
About Metrocola
Metrocola is a large beer hall, cocktail bar, diner and events space on Leece Street in Liverpool city centre (L1), just by the 'bombed-out church' (St Luke's) — four big rooms spread over two floors. Open seven days a week and late at weekends (to 3am Fri/Sat), it runs a music open mic every Tuesday from 8pm with all genres welcome. A house PA and vocal mic are provided; bring your own instrument, amp and pedals. Friendly, music-literate Liverpool crowds used to hearing original songs make it a solid spot for solo songwriters, duos and acoustic acts.
Planning Your Tuesday Night
Arrive by 19:30 to sign up for a slot. Entry is free and the open mic typically runs until 23:00. A PA is provided — bring your own instrument and amp.
