At Mike’s Bistro & Taproom, great food and great music go hand in hand. Alongside our fully gluten-free dining experience, Mike’s has become a popular local destination for live music and bar entertainment in New Plymouth, bringing together locals, musicians, and visitors in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.
Our live music sessions and open mic nights take place later in the evening, typically after 8 pm, allowing guests to still enjoy a comfortable and relaxed dinner service earlier in the night. The environment is welcoming and appropriate if you wanted to bring younger family members along for the music.
Open Mic Nights at Mike’s
Our long-running open mic night has become a much-loved part of the local music community. Welcoming both experienced performers and first-time musicians, these evenings create a supportive, energetic atmosphere where local talent can perform in front of a live audience.
Over the years, Mike’s has helped showcase emerging artists, local bands, and school-age musicians, helping create a genuine community hub within the New Plymouth CBD.
Local Bands & Community Atmosphere
Alongside open mic nights, Mike’s regularly hosts live local bands and acoustic performances on selected evenings. From upbeat local acts to relaxed late-night sessions, our venue offers a lively social atmosphere without losing the intimate and welcoming feel Mike’s is known for.
With craft beer on tap, wines, cocktails, alcohol-free options, and a fully gluten-free menu available, Mike’s offers a unique blend of dining, drinks, and entertainment all in one space.
More Than Just a Restaurant
Whether you’re stopping by for dinner before the music starts, meeting friends for drinks, or discovering new local talent, Mike’s Bistro & Taproom offers one of the most welcoming live music and bar experiences in New Plymouth.
Check back regularly for updates, upcoming performances, and community events.
