The Old Pint Pot sits on Adelphi Street in Salford, on the banks of the River Irwell beside the University of Salford — a lively riverside student pub with a dedicated second-floor music venue. It hosts live music and open mic nights, live comedy evenings and gigs, plus weekly karaoke, quizzes and student offers, with a beer garden out front for riverside drinking. There's a house PA for performers and the room takes both originals and covers, mostly acoustic, indie and rock. (Note: although filed under Manchester, the pub is physically in Salford, M3 6EN.)

The Night
The Old Pint Pot is a riverside pub on Adelphi Street with a dedicated second-floor music venue, and a firm favourite with Salford's student and creative crowd. Open Mic Night runs every Tuesday on the upstairs stage, where local singer-songwriters and comedians take their turn — there's even a dedicated 'Open Mic Tuesdays' community group keeping it going. Relaxed, friendly and well worth a slot if you're starting out.
