BITTERSWEET COFFEEHOUSE BREWS UP TALENT AT OPEN MIC NIGHT

The open mic nights are open to any singers, comedians and poets.

A local Huntington coffee shop, Bittersweet Coffee House, has an open mic night every other Tuesday.

The open mic nights are open to any singers, comedians and poets.

Bittersweet employee Bridgette Kidd said she is proud to be a part of it the biweekly event.

“We’ve had a really good turn out so far,” Kidd said.  “We have poetry, spoken word and comedy. Many places don’t give that chance to those types of acts, so we’re proud to give those artists a chance.”

Longtime guitarist and Marshall University medical student Mats Lemberger performed Tuesday.

“A friend of mine told me about it,” Lemberger said. “It’s a great environment. Bittersweet is very relaxed. You can get a cup of coffee and listen to some good music and be around some great people.”

Bittersweet offers shopping with a range of furniture, clothing, shoes and other items.

The next open mic night is scheduled for April 21.

Bittersweet is very relaxed. You can get a cup of coffee and listen, some good music and be around some great people.
