    January 12, 2026  6:00 PM - 9:00 PM
    Grain Theory, 202 Pine St # 201, Abilene, TX 79601

    Music Bingo is back for 2026 and we’re kicking things off with Best of 2025 — a free, family-friendly Monday night where dinner plans come with a soundtrack and a competitive edge. Join us Monday, January 12 from 6–9 PM as we play the top 75 songs of 2025, including the hits you loved, the ones you “didn’t like” but somehow know every word to, and the songs that lived on your playlists all year long. When you arrive, just ask the DJ for a bingo card, grab some food or a drink, and listen for songs on your card — five in a row wins prizes (yes, free beer is involved, and yes, there are kid-friendly prizes too). This is a come-and-go event, no reservations required, and a very solid excuse to make Monday night slightly more enjoyable than usual. Because if January has to exist, it might as well include music, bingo cards, and beer.
