How music bingo works

It is bingo, except nobody calls numbers. A song plays, and if you know it, you find it on your card and mark it off. Fill the pattern, shout it out, win the round. No music degree required, just a lifetime of car radio.

It works because everyone at the table can play. Your friend who knows every 80s deep cut, your friend who only knows choruses, and whoever got dragged along all have a shot.

Make a night of it

Cards go out and the first song plays at 7pm. Come earlier and catch the end of happy hour, which runs until 6, then settle in with a pie for the game. Wednesday is the night the week turns around.

Music bingo in Wayne, NJ, every Wednesday

The room fills from about half six. Teams grab the best tables first, so if you want one, come before seven rather than at seven. There is no sign up sheet and no entry fee, and nobody is going to make you stand up in front of anyone.

Rounds run through the evening with breaks between them, which is when the kitchen gets busy. Knots and wings travel best across a table of people holding pens. The full menu is open the whole time and the bar does not slow down for the game.

Then the pizza goes half price

The last round wraps at nine, which is the minute half price pizza starts and runs to eleven. Plenty of tables that came for the bingo stay for the pie, which was always the plan. Details on that and everything else are on the specials page.

Bringing a group

Tables of four to six work best. Any bigger and you end up spread across two tables shouting song titles at each other, which is fun for you and less fun for the table between you. For ten or more on a Wednesday, book it properly through the parties page and we will keep the space together.

Wednesdays are walk in otherwise. No cover, no cards to buy, nothing to sign up for in advance.

Getting here

Music bingo runs at 611 Ratzer Road in Wayne, NJ, with parking in our own lot. Doors are open from 11:30am every day, so you can come early, eat properly, and still have your table when the first song plays at seven.
