HartlepoolAbout the night
Juniper Lounge on Church Street in central Hartlepool runs a free open mic every Thursday from 7:30pm, confirmed on the bar's own news page: "come down EVERY Thursday at 7:30pm to enjoy the friendly atmosphere, great music and of course fabulous drinks!!!". The bar describes the night as featuring a variety of incredible artists across different genres, so it is not a single-style room. Juniper is a gin and cocktail bar opened in 2018, styled old-school industrial - a small, warm room rather than a stage-and-barrier venue, which suits solo performers. No end time or sign-up process is published; turn up and ask.
