As our reviewers make the rounds these ratings are based on the nights we visit the open mic, and so therefore the ratings can and will change from month to month. However, nothing has changed at the very top of our top 13 weekly open mics list. For the second month in a row (out of 2)...
congratulations to Moonshiner's Pub and Grub- Camp Road in Hamburg, the winner of Buffalo's Best Open Mic Reviews again for December 2013.
This open mic consistently boasts a wide- range and age group of high-quality musicians waiting in line to perform, with a very capable host. They have the best sound system that allows you to hear every note no matter where you are sitting- it makes a remarkable difference. The audience is made up of a diverse group of music lovers of all types and ages. Last but not least, their ownership is devoted to their business and to the success of this open mic.
According to our rating system (See Open Mic Reviews for...), they rate a 9.0/10. Close behind are 3 facilities with an 8.95 rating: Oneill's on Southwestern Blvd., Ellicott Manor in Depew, and the Anchor Inn in Cheektowaga/Sloan, NY. O'Neill's Bar & Grill has a younger crowd but has 2 very amiable and cordial hosts and a very enthusiastic audience that spontaneously dance to open mic music that they like. Ellicot Manor has mostly an older audience but brings in good size crowds. They have a full band that hosts that really rocks the house and someimes backs up the other performers. The Anchor Inn has in my opinion the most enthusiastic audience I have ever seen (who tend to be a bit older) and a very talented and entertaining host that has you laughing and singing the night away.
