Head down to the Bistro every Monday for the open mic.
One of the few oasis of live music in the east bay landscape, the Hayward Bistro, tucked down on the corner of B Street in Hayward, hosts an open mic every monday night. A cozy little bar with paper tablecloths you can draw on with crayons, a great place to hang out on a monday.
