Find us in the alley behind Ohana Yoga, just off Tennyson on 44th.

The Adult Spelling Bee at Alley Brews is hosted by Shut Up and Drink Events and brings classic spelling-bee energy with a grown-up twist. Contestants spell a rotating mix of words—some familiar, some unexpected—while the crowd watches, reacts, and keeps things lively.

You can enjoy the event two ways:

🔤 Compete: Put your name in to spell on stage and see how far you make it
👀 Watch: Grab a drink and enjoy the chaos from the crowd

🏆 Prizes for top spellers
👥 Participation and spectating both welcome

It’s equal parts competition and entertainment, and no one’s judging your confidence—only your spelling.
