Readings and Open Mics

The Ink Spot offers a warm and welcoming spot for readings to both large (up to 85) and small audiences and we also hold readings at other venues—at the Poetry Bench in Balboa Park, on the stage at Lestat’s Coffeehouse at The Grove in South Park, the Ruby Room in Hillcrest, and you don't want to miss Poetic Brew Open Mic Poetry at Rebecca's Coffee House. We hope to see you at our readings soon and often.
