Airdrie is growing fast, but finding something to do on a Tuesday night can still feel like a challenge. You don't have to drive into Calgary for a night out. Here's the weekly line-up at 1861 Local Bar & Grill on Meadowbrook Drive.

Tuesday: Open Mic Night

Open mic starts at 7 p.m. Bring a guitar, a poem or a few jokes. It's relaxed and welcoming whether you're performing for the first time or the hundredth. Tuesday specials include half-price wings, a $14 taco trio and $5 tequila.

Wednesday: Wing Wednesday

Mid-week calls for wings: 69¢ a wing with any drink purchase, with 16 sauces and 7 dry rubs to choose from. Dry ribs are half price too. Our wing guide has the full list.

Thursday: Name That Tune & Karaoke

Test your music knowledge, then grab the mic. All burgers are $2 off and wings are half price. We're open until 1 a.m. Thursday through Saturday, so there's plenty of time to work up the nerve for your big song.

Friday: Live Music

Start the weekend with live music. Friday specials include Fish Friday (one piece $15, two pieces $19), a bucket of four domestic beers for $22½ and $4½ Fireball shots.

Saturday: Music Bingo

Bingo, but every square is a song. Grab a card, bring friends and play along, with $2 off all flatbreads, $3 off personal nachos and $5 glasses of house wine. It's one of the best low-key things to do in Airdrie on a Saturday.

Every night: Late-night menu

The late-night menu runs from 10 p.m. to close: $12½ wings, $10 personal nachos, a $14 cheeseburger and fries, poutine, onion rings and mini donuts. It makes 1861 an easy stop for late-night food in Airdrie. Happy hour also runs 2–5 p.m. and 9–11 p.m. every day.

Plus football all season
