About This Open Mic
The Night
The Tooth & Claw is Inverness's independent rock and alternative-music bar on Baron Taylor's Street in the city centre. The venue's own events page lists a fortnightly Open Mic Jam downstairs from 9pm til late, with free entry and electric, acoustic and bass guitars plus percussion provided for anyone to play. It's advertised for Thursdays, but with the fortnightly pattern it's worth checking the venue's Facebook for the next date before heading down. A separate comedy open mic (The Comedy Bothy) also runs at the venue.
