About This Open Mic
The Night
The Ale House on Station Road in Taunton runs a free Sunday open mic in a proper real-ale-pub setting. It's an all-ages, welcoming session, under-18s are allowed to play, and live music here is always free. PA is provided; bring your instrument and add your name on the day.
About The Ale House
The Ale House is a pleasant locals' pub a short walk from Taunton railway station on Station Road, pouring 3–5 cask ales drawn from a 60-strong SIBA catalogue alongside food, real cider and a rear garden. Live music is a fixture of the week here, with local artists playing every weekend and a Sunday open-mic night — and the music is always free. It's a relaxed, dog-friendly grassroots room with a big screen for sport, a covered smoking area and a car park, opening late (to midnight most nights and 1am Fridays and Saturdays). A genuine community ale house that gives Taunton's emerging acoustic and band acts a regular stage.
