For those of you that like the idea of games at the bar, but hate the idea of thinking too much, come hang out and drink with your friends while Stephanie hosts Music Bingo – and win prizes!
Music Bingo is very similar to traditional bingo, except we will be playing clips of songs rather than reading off letters & numbers. The music ranges from the 1950's all the way to today's top hits, including fun themed rounds (80's rock, 90's hits, One Hit Wonders, and more).
The first person to mark five in a row wins! This isn't "music trivia", so feel free to ask your friends or Shazam to help you with the song titles if needed.
Cellar Door will be taking care of you as well with 10 delicious draft beers, delicious rotating wines by the glass, plus hundreds of bottles of beer and wine to choose from.
Music Bingo is free to play, but pays out real prizes every single game, and every person that attends gets their own set of bingo cards, so the more friends/family you bring, the higher the chance someone will win at your table!
