The ROW Spelling Bee

Next Sat at 7pm · Austin

Austin’s first adult spelling bee is back — and this time, we’re taking over Eberly. 🤠 Think you can spell under pressure? Come prove it. You can compete for the title or grab a spectator ticket and watch a room full of adults discover that spelling a word you absolutely know gets significantly harder when there’s a microphone in your hand and a crowd waiting for your answer. We’re doing this old-school: one mic, one word at a time. Stay standing and keep spelling until we crown our champion. But getting out doesn’t mean you’re done. Throughout the night, we’ll break for bonus rounds where everyone can jump back in — competitors, eliminated spellers, and spectators included — to win prizes. Eberly will also have an exclusive discounted food + drink menu for us all night, so come hungry and settle in. SATURDAY, AUGUST 29 · 7–10PM 📍 Eberly 🐝 EARLY BEE PRICING $8 spectator $12 competitor Prices increase August 26. You do not have to compete to come. Grab a spectator ticket, pick your favorite speller, play along from your seat, and maybe jump in when a prize is on the line.
