WorcesterAbout the night
The Oil Basin Brewhouse is a small beer-and-whisky bar just off Worcester's High Street, with a constantly rotating range of local real ales and craft beers and wood-fired vegetarian and vegan pizza. It runs a bi-weekly open mic on Sunday evenings - the Worcester Music Festival programme (September 2026) has the bar "finishing up the festival with their bi-weekly open mic", so it is very much still going. The published start time is not confirmed by the venue. Check their Facebook page before turning up.
