Acoustic Open Mic Wednesdays @Shrunken Head
251 W 5th Ave, Columbus
When you hear “open mic night,” you may picture your drunk college roommate singing Destiny’s Child. But at Shrunken Head’s open mic night, they bring in only the best local musicians to wow you with their acoustic skills. It’s like a free music variety show with reasonably-priced drinks.

Everybody’s a Comedian Wednesdays @Little Rock Bar
944 N 4th St, Columbus
It’s a pretty simple premise: instead of actual questions and answers, you’ll provide the funny/smart a** answers to vague questions, with free beer and bragging rights going to the winner. Hosted by former (614) Magazine Editor-in-Chief Travis Hoewischer. It’s like that time you wrote something sarcastic at pub trivia because you didn’t know the answer—except in this case, you do that all night. -Everybody’s a Comedian Facebook
Free Pizza Mondays @High Beck Tavern
564 S High St, Columbus
Now, you actually have to purchase a drink to qualify for free pizza on Mondays at High Beck, but it’s well worth it. Unlimited pizza, tons of topping options, great atmosphere. There’s really only one place to be on a Monday evening and that’s High Beck.
Sad Boyz @Skully’s Music-Diner
1151 N High St, Columbus
On the last Wednesday of each month, all the emo kids and 80s and 90s babies turn out to Skully’s for a little something they like to call Sad Boyz. This emo, pop punk, screamo, and alternative dance party is powered by PBR deals and angsty tears. Always free before 10pm
