St Aldate's Tavern is a traditional Young's pub in the heart of Oxford city centre, moments from the High Street, and it runs a well-established open mic every Thursday in its Blue Room, hosted by Lee Bo, from 7:30pm. The night is genuinely all-comers: the venue welcomes numerous genres including acoustic, rock, blues, folk, jazz, comedy and more, and provides a top in-house PA plus a house guitar, so you can show up and plug in. It's a free, sign-up-on-the-night format that suits solo and duo acts especially well. Around the music the tavern serves a proper pub menu, classic Sunday roasts and a popular weekly quiz, making it an easy central spot to perform or just watch. The Instagram (@staldatestavern) posts the open mic each week; call 01865 241185 to confirm.
