About This Open Mic
The Night
The Sunflower is one of Belfast's most-loved independent pubs — a Union Street institution with live music in the bar most nights. Its open mic runs every Monday from 7:30pm, hosted by Paddy Godfrey, and welcomes musicians, poets and comedians alike. It's famously generous: every performer gets a complimentary pint of Beamish for getting up and having a go.
