About This Open Mic
The Night
Staggeringly Good is a craft brewery and taproom a stone's throw from Fratton Park in Southsea, and it runs a friendly open mic every Thursday in the tap room (open Thursday to Saturday, Thursday from 5pm). Expect a relaxed mix of regulars and first-time local artists playing to a beer-loving crowd under the brewery's 'beer for people who love to ride dinosaurs' banner. Exact sign-up time and slot length aren't published online, so it's worth checking their Facebook page or asking at the bar before you head down.
