About This Open Mic
The Night
The Kings on Churchill Way is a lively gay bar in Cardiff's LGBTQ+ quarter, known for drag nights and karaoke (Sundays and Thursdays) rather than an open mic. We found no evidence of a recurring open mic here — if you're after a Cardiff open-mic slot, the city's listings point elsewhere (such as Porter's on Tuesdays), not The Kings.
