Weekly open mic night in Old Town Cornelius
Head to Old Town Public House for Monday open mic—covers, originals, full bands, and local talent. A fun, low-pressure Lake Norman night.
Event details
Old Town Public House in Cornelius opens its stage every Monday night for musicians, poets, and anyone willing to share their talent with a supportive crowd. OTPH Open Mic runs 8:00 PM–midnight and welcomes acoustic soloists, full bands, original songs, cover artists, and occasional comedy sets that keep each week unpredictable. Sign-up starts at 7:30 PM and slots fill quickly, so arrive early if you plan to perform.
No cover charge for listeners, and the venue serves elevated pub fare like gourmet burgers and craft flatbreads for $12–16 alongside a deep beer and cocktail menu. The crowd ranges from college students to retirees, with performers spanning garage bands to polished singer-songwriters testing new material. Seating is first-come, first-served, so grab a table by 7:45 PM or stand near the bar where you can still hear every note. Free parking in the Old Town Cornelius lot puts you steps from the venue entrance.
Make open mic night part of your Lake Norman routine by booking a waterfront rental through Lake.com. Spend Monday on the lake, rent a kayak or stand-up paddleboard, then trade water for live music as the evening unfolds. Cornelius rentals give you walking access to Old Town’s music venues while keeping you right on the shoreline for morning coffee and sunrise fishing sessions that prove the best lake trips balance outdoor calm with local cultural scenes.
