Goodnight Raleigh - a look at the art, architecture, history, and people of the city at night

Open Mic Night @ The Berkeley Cafe




One of the greatest treasures of Raleigh’s night life is Open Mic Night at the Berkeley Cafe. I’ve covered the Berkeley before back in September but open mic night is something truly special. Just as you may imagine, it’s a night in which musicians of all varieties can perform for a rather large audience simply by signing up. It is usually an eclectic mix of music of several stripes, not music limited to one specific genre.
If you ever find yourself bored on a Wednesday night, I highly recommend checking it out. You won’t be disappointed.
