Neck of the Woods Open Mic Wednesdays

Neck of the Woods, a bar at 406 Clement Street in San Francisco, hosts a weekly open mic night. Performers sign up at the bar when they arrive, and the evening's lineup depends on who puts their name down.

The room keeps things simple: a stage, a bar, and the audience close by. Each week brings a different mix of musicians and performers trying out material. Anyone can take the stage by signing up at the bar.
