Live Music Monday Evening

We're staying at Mammoth Green and have just missed the Reggae Festival as we arrived late last night. Are there any live music bars or venues here that might have music on a Monday or Tuesday night please?

Mammoth Lakes has a lively local music scene, even outside of festival weekends. While live music on Monday or Tuesday nights is more limited than on weekends, there are still options to enjoy local bands or small venue performances. Here’s a detailed guide:

Bars and Venues with Live Music:

  • Burgers & Beers at Mammoth Brewing Company: This is one of the main spots in town for live music, especially during summer. They sometimes have smaller bands or solo performers on weeknights. It's casual and easy to check online for current schedule.
  • Sammy’s Place: Known for occasional live performances and karaoke nights. Best to call ahead to see if they have a show on Monday or Tuesday.
  • Convict Lake Resort Bar: A scenic spot about 15 minutes from town. Sometimes hosts acoustic music or small live bands, especially during summer evenings.

Other options:

  • Local Hotels and Lodges: Some larger hotels in Mammoth Lakes host small acoustic or jazz performances in their bars or lounges. Check places like the Mammoth Mountain Inn or Westin Monache Lodge for weekly schedules.
  • Live Music Listings: Websites like “Live in Mammoth” or local Facebook groups often post last-minute performances, open mic nights, or small venue shows.
  • Restaurants with occasional live music: Certain restaurants, such as Roberto’s or Gomez’s, sometimes feature solo musicians or guitarists on weeknights. Calling ahead is recommended.

Tips for planning your evening:

  • Check online or call the venue directly, as schedules for Monday/Tuesday nights can change.
  • Consider arriving early, as smaller shows can fill up quickly in summer.
  • Even if a formal live show isn’t happening, many bars play curated local music playlists or host impromptu acoustic performances.

In summary, while Mammoth Lakes is quieter on Monday/Tuesday evenings for live music, Mammoth Brewing Company and a few local bars or hotel lounges are your best bets for catching a performance. Planning ahead and checking schedules is key.
