About This Open Mic
The Night
The Queen Crafthouse & Kitchen on Sunny Bar is one of Doncaster's best craft-beer pubs, with cask, keg and cider plus free live music most weekends. Its open mic runs on Wednesdays from 8:30pm — every Wednesday except the first of the month (when a comedy night takes over) — hosted by Bluesy Steve Keeton, the pub's resident cider-and-whisky-drinking cowboy. Free entry, bring an instrument or just your voice; it's a relaxed, well-loved local night that's confirmed still running in 2025–2026.
About The Queen Crafthouse
The Queen Crafthouse & Kitchen (also styled Crafthouse & Cantina) is a lively craft-beer pub at 1 Sunny Bar in Doncaster city centre, pouring local brews across five hand pumps and ten keg taps. It's a genuine grassroots live-music spot with free live music every weekend — bands on Fridays and Saturdays from 9pm — plus a Wednesday open-mic night, a once-a-month Sunday-afternoon punk session, and a Thursday quiz. Expect a mix of live music and comedy in a relaxed, beer-led setting.
