365 Things To Do In Austin: BYOB B-I-N-G-O

By
Real Estate Agent with Moreland Properties

This might be the most fun you can have on a Tuesday night for $5.00. BYOB, Bingo, and a chance to win some cold, hard cash.. .what more could one ask for on a Tuesday night or any night except Mondays.  Needless to say, B12 Bingo is well worth the price of admission.

 

$5.00 will get you 18 Bingo cards plus a free bingo dobber. There are two "rounds" 7:15 and 8:50. Each "round" consists of 5 Bingo Games. On Saturday nights there have a third round that starts at 10:30.

 The prizes for those lucky enough to get a B-I-N-G-O are between $300-$700. If that is not enough to get you out the door than I do not know what to tell you.  

 They also have a full service snack bar so it has all the makings to make a night out of it. It is BYOB but you cannot bring in coolers, they are in the BINGO business, not the bar business so just be smart.

 There is a non-smoking section - if you want to take advantage of those seats I'd advise you arrive well in advance because those seats go fast.

 They are owned and operated by non-profit organizations that distribute a large percentage of the money they make playing bingo back into the community.

 Location:
2101 W Ben White Blvd
Austin, TX 78704
(next to Randall's between Manchaca and Lamar)

 *since this does involve gambling you must be 18 or older.

 Get your good luck charm and head out for some fun. . .

Kristy, I used to go to Bingo at a church that sold cheap pitchers of beer with a rather rowdy group of guys and as the evening wore on all of the crowd (including most of the parishioners would get a bit rowdy. A favorite trick was to cover a number not called when the person was not looking sometimes causing them to shout BINGO! only to learn that they did not have the correct numbers. At the end of the evening this was always met by a load groan and hoots from the crowd. Try it with friends next time but wait for the byob to take effect first!
