Spelling Bee: If you’re a good sober speller, test your skills tonight with a few drinks in you. Head to Bob and Barbara’s for a few rounds of their drunken spelling bee contest. For only a $5 entry fee, have a free beer and enjoy $3 Jim Beam shots with a PBR. Sign up is at 10 p.m.—just enough time to have a few drinks before you get started at 10:30 p.m. With each round there is a break for some more drinking and dancing. Winner walks home with $50.  Test your knowledge as you have a few drinks and hopefully a win. Bob and Barbara’s, 1509 South Street, Philadelphia, Pa. 19146, +21, $5, 10:30 p.m.

Jeff Dye: Come see the charming and hilarious comedian Jeff Dye at Helium Comedy Club tonight. Dye was one of the finalists on the sixth season of NBC’s Last Comic Standing. He’s also known for his edgy and creative humor and lack of profanity. If you’re looking for a few laughs tonight on a budget see Dye for only $10. The show begins right after many happy hours end so head out with your friends for a good time. Helium Comedy Club, 2031 Sansom Street, Philadelphia, Pa. 19103, +21, $10, 8 p.m.

Two Dollar Tuesday: We all know it’s rough to still go out for happy hour when everyone is broke, but Rum Bar’s doing something special for us all. It’s "$2 Tuesday" from 4 p.m. to 2 a.m.--that’s $2 for all rum and cokes, Miller Lites, burgers and chicken fingers. They’ve got cheap drinks and food for more than just the two-hour typical happy hour times—sounds like an amazing deal to us. If you can’t make it tonight, Rum Bar offers this amazing deal every Tuesday so bring your friends or co-workers and head to Rittenhouse Square for some good eats, drinks and a walk around the park. Rum Bar, 2005 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, Pa. 19103, Free, 4 p.m.
