Music Bingo

Music Bingo is a weekly thing at Punch Bowl Social in Denver, and it's run by the Colorado Trivia League—the same crew that handles the venue's trivia night. If you've spent any time at Punch Bowl, you know the drill: it's a big, open space that leans into what they call 'eat-ertainment,' pairing a diner-inspired scratch kitchen and craft beverages with classic parlour-style games. Music Bingo fits right into that mix, swapping the numbers for songs and the markers for your own knowledge of the tracks.

It's a low-stakes way to spend a Tuesday night. You get a bingo card, listen to clips of songs, and mark them off as you recognize them. If you've ever spent a whole car ride arguing with friends about which song is playing on the radio, this is basically that, just with a card in front of you and a room full of other people doing the same thing. It's as much about the music as it is about the game, so it works whether you're there to compete or just to hang out and hear some familiar tracks.

Since it's a weekly event, it's an easy one to drop into without much planning. You can bring a group or just show up and find your way into a game. The night also comes with drink specials, including $8 Aperol Spritzes and Old Fashioneds, which are a good companion for a few rounds of bingo. Between the scratch kitchen and the drinks, there's plenty to keep you going if you decide to stick around for more than one game.

Music Bingo runs every Tuesday at 7 PM at Punch Bowl Social, 65 S. Broadway, Denver. It's free with RSVP.
