About This Open Mic
The Night
The Bull Inn is a town-centre Shrewsbury pub on Butcher Row known for real ales, food and a packed live-music calendar, with a large beer garden out the back. Its weekly Wednesday-night open mic is a relaxed, free-entry session where every performer gets a free drink, and the venue also hosts regular live-music Fridays. It's a welcoming spot for both first-timers and seasoned players to grab a slot in the heart of the old town.

Live bands take over on Friday and Saturday nights, with an open mic on Wednesdays giving local players their turn, all rounded out with real ales, food and a large beer garden out back. It's a proper town-centre grassroots room with rooms upstairs if you fancy staying.
