| - I am not going talk about the bar itself in this review; instead I am going to review Tuesday Wingo Nights at Broken City.
If I were to pick a single word from the entirety of the English language to describe this night it would be "tubular".
Wingo night is Wednesday wing night (pretty yawn) mixed with crazy punk music BINGO!
I must say, when I think of Bingo, I think of those old smoky Bingo halls full of ancient ladies scratching numbers out on a dust old piece of paper surrounded by troll dolls and broken dreams...but Wingo night at Broken City is anything but that! (well, maybe minus the broken dreams, but I can't speak for the other guests).
You pay $5 to participate, and if you didn't bring one they will give you a Bingo dabber to use, and instead of playing for money, you play for silly prizes! (I won a hard plastic lion head puppet which is pretty excellent actually).
Prizes range widely. Expect a mix of explicit porno clocks, dolls with stitches painted on them, oil paintings of Welsh Corgis, vintage GI Joes and Barbie Dolls, comic books, old movies and everything in between all available by winning a game called by an exocentric Bingo caller who will paddle you if you try and trick him.
I highly recommend Wingo night at Broken City! Its fun and super loud and you'll get a chance to win some pretty neat prizes. Oh, and the wings aren't half bad either for $4/pound.
See you Tuesday!
