The Night
The Blarney Barrel is a keg Irish bar in Bramhall village, on Bramhall Lane South a short walk from the shops. Its open mic runs on the second Sunday of each month — a monthly slot rather than a weekly one — so it's worth a glance at the pub's own listings before you set off. The start time isn't published anywhere, so ring ahead or get there early if you want a slot.
