Where Can You Find An Open Mic Or Jam Session In Barcelona?

This is a question we get asked all the time. And with nearly 30 music teachers from our school, a Music Co-working space and the no 1 Instrument Rental Shop in Barcelona you have come to the right place to find the answer.

The good news is that they do happen and they usually happen on a weekly or monthly basis. The venues, bars or café call them open mic nights (micros abiertos) or live jam sessions. However they are not heavily advertised because the venues are usually intimate and have limited capacity.

Do note that the events are sometimes not just for music. Quite often there are for the “open mics” to be open to all types of performances like comedy, spoken word and more.

This is the definitive list of venues that offer open mic and jam sessions. But wait! Before you dive into the list id like to shamelessly promote our space The Music Room which is a place to play music and practice. Check out the website.
