In my area, the majority of Open mikes are in pubs with all of that entails (ie lousy place to play most forms of music - except pub/drunk music as I call it).
Fortunately a number of “listening room” type OMs have popped up where the performer is actually the only source of “noise” allowed and expected. A few, even have a no-cover policy (as in both the admission price and the songs played). Excellent concept.
