austin san antonio Game Breakdown and Top Venues
Live Trivia | Classic Questions, Bigger Thinking
Four themed rounds followed by a high‑stakes finale test knowledge from Texas sports legends to Marvel movie quotes. Answers are written, so phones stay pocketed and spoilers stay silent. Score sheets update after every round to keep tension high.
- Monday choices include Lazy Daze Coffeeshop on Saint Marys Strip at 6:30 PM and Wilson’s Ice House in Kerrville at 7:00 PM
- Tuesday favorites include Flying Saucer Draught Emporium at Huebner Oaks at 7:00 PM and The Food Hall in the Pearl District at 7:00 PM
- Wednesday regulars head to Kennedy’s Irish Bar on Blanco Road at 7:00 PM
Tip – build a roster with mixed strengths. One history buff plus one music guru plus one sports fanatic often outplays four specialists in the same topic.
Singo | Bingo Meets the Billboard Charts
Replace numbers with song titles. Hear a track, mark it on your card, and shout “Singo” when five line up. Playlists hop from seventies rock to current Top 40, so every generation stays engaged.
- Tuesday hot‑spots include Pinkerton’s Barbecue on Houston Street at 6:00 PM and Cheba Hut Alamo Ranch at 7:00 PM
- Friday night vibes take over Cheba Hut on Loop 1604 at 7:00 PM
Singo is perfect for date night because you can chat between songs yet still join the competition.
Music Match | Speed Round for Song Savants
The host drops a lyric or guitar riff, and teams race to write both song title and artist before time expires. Bonus questions cover album art, Grammy wins, or chart trivia. Quick recall equals big points.
- Catch Music Match Wednesday at Black Laboratory Brewing on East Houston Street at 7:00 PM
- The Bang Bang Bar on El Mio Drive hosts at 7:30 PM for a later start
Bring the friend who can name a tune in two seconds and watch your score soar.
Ballistic Bingo | Luck, Skill, and Coffee‑House Chill
Traditional bingo gets a turbo boost with rapid number calls, shifting patterns, and trivia squares for instant bonuses. Even solo players score wins because luck levels the field.
- Thursday gatherings at Seguin Brewing Company begin at 7:00 PM
- Marathon fans can double up Monday at Stout House on Culebra at 8:00 PM
Ballistic Bingo wraps in under an hour, so it pairs well with happy hour or a post‑work run to the patio.
Pub Poll | Survey Answers Spark Laughs
Instead of right‑or‑wrong facts, teams predict what most survey responders said. A prompt like “Name something Texans grill on game day” ignites brisket versus sausage debates that fill the room with good‑natured banter.
- Saturday afternoons at The Hangar on Broadway feature rotating Pub Poll and Music Match sets starting at 2:00 PM
Pub Poll shines for big groups because intuition often beats textbook knowledge.

With SINGO Music Bingo, instead of listening for numbers to be called, you’re listening to your favorite music and matching the tunes to your SINGO game card. Go ahead and sing along! SINGO is fun for everyone, and if you can’t remember the song title, just ask your neighbor.
With Pub Poll, you’re rewarded for knowing what the most popular answer is, not necessarily what the correct answer is! Every week, players from around the country are surveyed and their answers are compiled for a six-round game. Go ahead and cheat all you like. Use your phone, consult Google, call your mom … Pub Poll isn’t about what you know, it’s about what you think others know.
Grab your Bingo cards and hold on to your hat; you’re in for a wild ride. Ballistic Bingo pairs traditional Bingo with spontaneous activities featuring anything from bar limbo and trash-can basketball to picture drawing, dart throwing, scavenger hunting, the newlywed/friend game or anything else your host can think of!
Music Match is a one of a kind trivia game that combines elements of all your favorite musical genres. Our Jockeys will get the crowd going as they play music that everyone will love...but there's a catch! Each song will only be played for a moment as your guests do their best to remember the details about those hits. This team based game will have guests working together and jamming out at the same time.
