About This Open Mic
The Night
Three Wise Monkeys is a lively pub on Lloyds Avenue in central Ipswich (22 Lloyds Avenue, IP1 3HD), and a reliable stop for performers — Open Mic Mondays run on the ground floor every Monday night from 8pm. It's so popular there's a second open mic on Tuesdays too, same time and spot. Free to come along, sing or play; just head down and get your name on the list. One of the town's most consistent open mic nights.
About Three Wise Monkeys Ipswich
Three Wise Monkeys Ipswich is the Suffolk sister of the Colchester original — a spacious four-floor modern tap house and BBQ smokehouse at 22 Lloyds Avenue in the town centre (IP1 3HD). It carries an extensive range of real ales, craft beers and pub classics, with a strong focus on high-quality food, beer and music, and it actively supports the local live music scene. The venue hosts a rolling programme of gigs, jam sessions, quizzes and taster evenings across its floors, welcoming both original acts and covers from local and touring musicians, served by an in-house PA. Slow-cooked American barbecue runs alongside the entertainment, making it a versatile grassroots spot in central Ipswich.
