The Brass Door is moving their Brass Door Bingo games with Diamond Dave to Wednesday night, starting tomorrow. There will be six games of bingo starting at 7 PM, and then at 9 it will be Open Mic Night downstairs in the Cavern. I like the new night. Friends have told me bingo is a lot of fun, but with Pint Nite at the Saucer/poker at the Goose it was hard for me to ever get there on Monday. Wednesday will work much better. Also, with the move to Wednesdays, bingo players will get to enjoy the Wine Down Wednesday specials at the Brass Door – $3 house wines, wells, and drafts.
The Brass Door has also announced their music lineup for the weekend – Deering and Down Friday night, The Candy Company Saturday night. Both shows start 9 PM in the Cavern.
