About The Burlam Bear

The Burlam Bear books Open mic, Acoustic acts. Both original music and covers are welcome. This listing is part of the Middlesbrough venue directory.

The ‌‌‍Burlam Bear is a small independent bistro at Roseberry Court on Burlam Road in Linthorpe, Middlesbrough, with a seasonal menu and a bar stocking locally brewed beers and spirits. It doubles as a low-key grassroots room: TicketSource lists WYW Tees open mic nights here, it has hosted spoken-word open mic evenings, and the owners are keen champions of the local live music scene with acoustic nights promoting home-grown singers. A friendly neighbourhood spot for intimate, unplugged performance.
