Open Mic Night At The Dog Run
At The Dog Run Bar & Grill, we’re bringing magic to life with our electrifying open mic nights. And this time, we’re raising the stakes with prizes that could launch your music career to the next level.
Where Talent Meets Opportunity
Whether you’re a seasoned musician looking for a new stage or a first-timer finally ready to share your songs with the world, The Dog Run Bar & Grill provides the perfect venue to showcase your talent. Our welcoming atmosphere combines the energy of a live music venue with the comfort of your neighborhood hangout spot, creating an environment where performers feel supported and audiences are genuinely engaged.
Our open mic nights have become legendary in the local music scene, drawing everyone from acoustic singer-songwriters and rock bands to poets, comedians, and spoken word artists. The diverse lineup keeps every night fresh and exciting, and you never know when you might witness the next breakout star taking their first steps toward greatness.
Life-Changing Prizes Await
This isn’t your typical open mic night where the only reward is applause and a free drink. We’re thrilled to announce three incredible top prizes that will be awarded to the best performances of the evening. These aren’t just trophies to put on your shelf—they’re real opportunities that can transform your musical journey.
Third place will take home a $500 cash prize, giving you the funds to upgrade your equipment, book studio time, or invest in your music career however you see fit. Second place winners will receive a brand new Breedlove Guitar, a premium instrument known for its exceptional tone and craftsmanship. Musicians worldwide trust Breedlove for both stage and studio work, and this guitar could become your signature sound for years to come.
But the grand prize is truly extraordinary: an eight-hour recording session at a professional local recording studio. This is your chance to capture your best material with expert engineers, high-quality equipment, and the time to really perfect your sound. For many artists, professional studio time is prohibitively expensive, making this prize an invaluable opportunity to create recordings that could open doors to bigger stages, radio play, or streaming success.
More Than Just a Competition
While the prizes are incredible, what makes open mic night at The Dog Run Bar & Grill truly special is the community we’ve built. You’ll find supportive fellow musicians, enthusiastic music lovers, and an atmosphere that celebrates artistic expression in all its forms. Whether you win a prize or not, you’ll gain experience performing in front of a live audience, make connections with other artists, and become part of our vibrant musical family.
Our sound system is professional-grade, our stage lighting creates the perfect ambiance, and our staff treats every performer like a headliner. Plus, our full menu and extensive drink selection means your friends and fans can settle in for a great evening of food, drinks, and outstanding live entertainment.

The Dog Run Bar & Grill’s open mic night is your invitation to share your gift with the world—and potentially win prizes that could change everything. Grab your instrument, warm up those vocal cords, and come show us what you’ve got. We can’t wait to hear you play.
