Bawdy Bingo

This is a FREE event and walk-ins are welcome — just bring your sass and your squad.

It’s bingo night, but not your grandma’s version — unless she’s into raunchy jokes, loud laughs, and the occasional O69 shout.

We’ve teamed up with Bingo Betches, the queens of uncensored, unfiltered, unapologetically wild bingo. With theater roots and razor-sharp wit, this rotating cast of hosts brings the heat, the humor, and a whole lot of personality.

Expect five rounds of mayhem: bold banter, hilarious nicknames, cheeky prizes, and maybe a few double entendres you can’t un-hear. Whether you’re a bingo virgin or a dauber pro, you're in for a night of belly laughs and balls-to-the-wall fun.

Warning: explicit language, adult content, and occasional dirty looks (all in good fun).

Puff, Pour & Pass the Plate: A Marz Brewing Pairing Dinner

Puff, Pour & Pass the Plate: A Marz Brewing Pairing Dinner

Join us at Bar Sotto & Sotto for Puff, Pour & Pass the Plate, a one-night-only pairing dinner with Marz Brewing. Inspired by 4/20 and rooted in comfort-food nostalgia, this chef-driven experience features elevated twists on classic munchies paired with creative cocktails crafted with Marz’s CBD and THC-infused beverages.

The menu leans indulgent and unexpected — from Hot Cheetos–crusted arancini to a playful pizza with prosciutto, guanciale, caramelized banana, and hot honey. A riff on the iconic walking taco gets the Sotto treatment with short rib ragù and pecorino, while dessert delivers chocolate sponge cake, peanut butter dulce de leche, candied bacon, and fluff.

Each course is paired to complement the flavors and elevate the experience. This dinner is all about sharing plates, high spirits, and responsible indulgence in a relaxed, neighborhood setting.
