SalisburyAbout the night
The Market Tavern is a cosy real-ale pub tucked into Salisbury's historic market square at 16 Butcher Row (SP1 1EP), serving food every day from 12pm to 9pm and open until 11pm most nights (midnight on Fridays and Saturdays). Locals do mention live music nights, but we can't currently confirm a recurring open mic here: the pub's own What's On page lists no events, and 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.
