About This Open Mic
The Night
The Town Wall Tavern is a historic city-centre pub on Bond Street, reopened in early 2025, whose Sunday open mic — hosted by Rich Keogh — has quickly become one of Coventry's most-recommended starter nights for new performers. It's a friendly, low-pressure room that runs every week, with live music on Saturdays and karaoke on Fridays rounding out the bill. Turn up, put your name down and play a few songs to a supportive local crowd.
About Townwall Tavern
The Town Wall Tavern is one of the few remaining traditional locals in Coventry city centre, tucked behind the Belgrade Theatre on Bond Street (CV1 4AH) and long frequented by actors and theatre staff. After a brief closure announcement in late 2025 the pub was saved by an outpouring of community support and the landlord confirmed it would stay open. It runs a busy entertainment week: live music on Saturdays, karaoke on Fridays and a Sunday open-mic night that has become genuinely popular and is one of the most-recommended starter mics in the city. The room is small (roughly 50 capacity), with a PA and at least one vocal mic provided — best suited to solo songwriters, duos and acoustic acts. Sign-up is walk-in on the night, no advance booking.
