The Night
The Clarendon is a well-loved pub on Chapel Ash, a short walk from Wolverhampton city centre, and its Wednesday open mic is held in the upstairs room — visitors describe the open-mic crowd as genuinely friendly and welcoming to newcomers. The pub runs meal and drinks promotions through the week, so it's an easy, low-pressure night to bring a guitar and try a few songs.
