Every Second Monday, drop by HOT•BED for POEMS NIGHT for your dose of poetry. We showcase up-and-coming spoken word talent first followed by a lottery-style open mic.

On top of the cult following it built, POEMS NIGHT is also known for being arguably the most forgiving open mic of its kind, lending itself to experimental performances in front of a captive and supportive audience. If you’re looking for a low-brow and low-key poetry experience, especially amidst cozy plants, to sit back and enjoy or recite your latest work, you found the right place.

Refreshments are available for a suggested donation of $1-5.

7–9:30pm
