The Utah is a bit of a legend in the bay area. It was closed in 2005 for a couple of months and during the pandemic, but other than that it's been going strong for decades. Spoken-word is welcome here, and they'll even letcha play their piano if you ask nicely. One of the great things about this open mic is how fast it goes - with sometimes one song per person it zips along. There is always a "feature," as they call it - one pre-ordained performer each monday who plays a 30 minute set at 9pm. Not to worry, the longer set is always excellent and makes for a nice break. Sit upstairs if you can, it'll put you close to the performer and a better distance from the sometimes overpowering speakers.

For some reason, the Utah's Monday open mic does not appear on their site's event calendar. You're better off going straight to the Hotel Utah Monday Open Mic Facebook Page or their instagram.
