More Freddy's Fun: Tourist-Friendly Spelling Bees

May 17, 2007 at 3:00 PM | 0 Comments

We've already covered Freddy's diorama nights here, but the popular Brooklyn dive bar's got us thinking again. There's no real reason to be intimidated about visiting a neighborhood place anywhere, but if you suffer from the occasional out-of-towner jitters, you can leave them at the door at Freddy's Bar & Backroom. We recently participated in one of their famous Monday night spelling bees (yeah, yeah) and were impressed by just how welcoming the competition was--perfect for out-of-towners, too, as the host will force you to awkwardly introduce yourself on your first turn. Spelling bees are $1 to enter, and the winner takes the pot home or, more likely, recycles it at the excellent bar. Check the bar's calendar for listings and consider dropping by next time you're in town.
