Thames Side Brewery and Tap Room is an independent craft brewery and taproom on Hale Street in Staines-upon-Thames, a short stroll from the River Thames. The taproom pours the brewery's own beers alongside guest lines, and it has built a steady reputation as a small, friendly space for live acoustic music.
The open mic runs monthly on a Sunday afternoon from 4pm to 7pm and is free to join. Stu and Steve of the Midnight Tokers lead the session - bring an instrument and come and join in, with walk-up sign-up on the day and a mix of regulars and first-timers taking turns.
The venue also hosts the Surrey Poetry Open Mic, known as the Laureate's Lounge, on the second Tuesday of the month from 6pm, making it one of the few spots in the area with a stage for both songwriters and spoken word.
