Arlington, VA - Buzzy Spelling Bee @ Punch Bowl Social

🍂🐝 THE BUZZY BEE: BUZZGIVING 🐝🍂

A Drunken Spelling Bee

This November, we’re serving cocktails, comedy, and a full FEAST of words!

Welcome to BUZZGIVING, the November edition of The Buzzy Bee, where the drinks are flowing, the competition is cooking, and suddenly everybody forgets how to spell the moment they step up to the mic.

You may know your way around the Thanksgiving table… but can you handle a plate full of letters under pressure?

Join us for a festive edition of The Buzzy Bee, where fall vibes meet hilarious spelling fails, playful competition, and all the unpredictable chaos you’ve come to expect from the hive.

Come ready to SPELL.
Come ready to SIP.
Come hungry for the WIN.
And whatever you do… don’t get STUNG! 🐝🍂
