Artisan Tap is a grassroots live-music venue and craft-beer bar at 552 Hartshill Road, Hartshill, Stoke-on-Trent (ST4 6AF), with a capacity of around 110. It punches above its size for a small bar: a superb in-house sound system and a house sound engineer mean touring and local bands get a proper set-up, and it runs a regular programme of gigs across genres. It is also a host venue for EMOM (Electronic Music Open Mic) nights — sessions run 6:30pm–10:30pm, electronic music only, no selection process: ask to play and if there's space you're on. Four changing cask ales, ciders and craft keg are on the bar, and dogs are welcome.
