The Ansty (also known locally as the Ansty Club / Ansty Social Club) sits on Grove Road on the banks of the North Oxford Canal at Ansty, just outside Coventry (CV7 9JD). It is open seven days a week and runs a regular live-music programme: live jazz on the first and third Sundays of each month plus a weekly open-mic night every Monday from 8pm. The open mic is walk-in friendly with a PA and vocal mic provided, best suited to solo and acoustic performers. A canal-side pub with garden, it's a relaxed, community-focused venue rather than a dedicated gig room.
