About this Event

Tequila. Spelling. Comedy. Chaos.

Welcome to Tequila & the Bee, NYC’s OG Drunk Spelling Bee party. Where comedy, competition, and nightlife collide in the heart of Bushwick.

Hosted at Starr Bar, this is a high-energy interactive experience featuring comedians, audience participation, spelling challenges, tequila-fueled penalties, cash prizes, and a live DJ takeover to close the night.

This is not a passive show. If you're here, you're hive.


🐝 What to expect
  • A fully interactive drunk spelling bee competition
  • Tequila-fueled spelling rounds with escalating difficulty
  • Cash prizes + crown awarded to the Queen Bee
  • Stand-up comedy moments woven throughout the game
  • High-energy crowd participation in an intimate Brooklyn venue
  • DJ-led afterparty to close out the night

🍯 Why people come back
