Music Bingo

Music Bingo is coming to the Clayton Park Bar & Grill on Friday, August 21, from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm. If you've never played, the premise is straightforward: it's bingo, but instead of numbers being called out, you'll hear clips of songs. If the track is on your card, you mark it off. The first person to complete a line or a full house wins.

It's a social way to spend a Friday night, and since it's a bar setting, it works as well with a group of friends as it does if you just want to drop in and join a table. The music is the whole point, so it's the kind of thing that keeps you listening closely to every clip, trying to place a melody or a voice before someone else beats you to it.

On the practical side, there's no cover charge to get in, so you can walk through the door without paying a ticket price. The only requirement is a C$15 minimum purchase, which you can put toward drinks or food throughout the evening. The session runs for two hours, from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm, at the Clayton Park Bar & Grill, 278 Lacewood Drive, Halifax, NS B3M 3N8.
