About This Open Mic
The Night
Voodoo is Belfast's vibrant independent live-music venue and nightclub on Fountain Street, spread over two floors in the city centre. Its weekly open mic runs every Thursday from 9pm in the cosy downstairs bar with host Weston — everyone and everything welcome, from singer-songwriters to the occasional comedian, with a complimentary drink for all performers. Exposed brick, ambient lighting and a genuinely open-door, anything-goes vibe.
About Voodoo
Voodoo is Belfast's best independent live-music venue, at 9-11 Fountain Street in the city centre and trading since 2011. It spans two floors — a cosy exposed-brick bottom bar and an upstairs club space whose stage hosts everything from hard rock and punk to hip-hop, drum and bass and even twangy bluegrass sessions. The 150-capacity room runs a packed calendar of weekly open-mic nights, band showcases, DJ sets and comedy, open midday to 1am Monday to Saturday and to midnight on Sundays. A genuine grassroots cornerstone of the city's underground scene.
