The ‌‌‍Boldmere Tap is a traditional, dog-friendly community pub at 363 Boldmere Road, Boldmere, in The Royal Town of Sutton Coldfield (B73 5HE, West Midlands) — real ales, craft beer and a strong local following. Its signature performer night is the #Boldmix acoustic open mic every Wednesday, 8:30pm–10:30pm — a friendly, supportive acoustic session that's a fixture on the Sutton Coldfield / north-Birmingham open-mic circuit. A PA and vocal mic are provided; it's an acoustic/singer-songwriter room, so solo acts and duos suit it best (full bands should check with the host first). Sign up on the night or contact the organiser in advance. Confirmed open and running the weekly mic into 2026 (FireMics, Open Mic Finder, venue Facebook).
