The Night
The Bobbin is a friendly student bar on King Street, opposite Aberdeen University, and its line-up has long included open mic nights alongside quizzes, bingo and live sport. We haven't been able to pin down a confirmed weekly day, time or host for the open mic from a primary source, so treat the schedule as unconfirmed and check the Bobbin's Instagram (@bobbin.aberdeen) or Facebook before heading down. Expect a relaxed, good-value student crowd. Entry is free.
