The Night
The Market Tavern is a cosy real-ale pub tucked into Salisbury's historic market square at 18 Butcher Row (SP1 1EP), and locals do mention live music nights. We can't currently confirm a recurring open mic here, though — the open-mic listing previously attached to this venue actually belonged to a different Market Tavern in Croydon. If you run or know of an open mic at the Salisbury pub, let us know and we'll verify and list it properly.
