Lynn's Longbranch Saloon Acoustic Open Mic

Every Monday night at Lynn's Longbranch Saloon you will find an excellent open mic hosted by Mark Zeus. Lynn's is a very nice little neighborhood establishment that serves beer, wine and setups. The layout is great for music with a slightly elevated, good sized stage and a nice dance floor.  There are a few TVs but none that compete with performances.  Lynn's also has 4 well kept pool  tables, but they are in a separate room so again, there is no interference with the music.  Step out the back door at Lynn's and you'll find a huge patio and back yard area with a stage, several cafe tables and picnic tables, barbecue pits, and horseshoes. It's perfect for small to medium outdoor events.  Parking is adequate although dimly lit at night.  They do have several security cameras however that are constantly  monitored at the bar.

Mark Zeus is a very experienced open mic host that makes all players feel welcome.  Having run open mics for good while, Mark has developed a strong following of talented musicians but always welcomes new players to his stage as well. The PA is plenty powerful for the room and the performance area includes a stage monitor, two microphones and instrument cables.  This open mic is a 3 song / 15 minute format and sign-up is in person on a first come first served basis.  It is an acoustic music open mic.  No full bands, large amplifiers, drum kits or comedians please.

Lynn's Longbranch Saloon is easy to find and located conveniently for folks in the 290/610 area.  Just a couple of blocks east of Antione on Pinemont, you'll find Lynn's Longbranch Saloon an inviting spot to stop in on a Monday night for some great live music.
