The Night
The Komodo's Riff Open Mic runs every Tuesday from 7pm, free entry, in Lincoln's self-styled 'stealth live music bar' tucked into Butchery Court off the High Street. Finding the hidden entrance is half the fun, and you say 'KOMODO' at the door to get in. It's a small, friendly room with an approachable owner and a crowd that actually listens, so it suits first-timers as much as regulars. Turn up on the night to get a slot.
The rest of the week
Live Friday brings a weekly bill of up-and-coming bands. Aux Off on Saturdays from 10pm lets punters pick the tunes (free entry), and there's a shelf of board games plus the Vinyl Destination corner where you can play your own records.
Getting there
