Bongo's Bingo at London Bridge Review

Bongo’s Bingo is one of the most thrilling games of bingo you can play in this day and age! For those who don’t know what the insane world of Bongo’s Bingo is, it is a mixture of the traditional bingo game with rave intervals, audience participation and some of the craziest moments you’ll experience! 

Bongo’s Bingo is no amateur in the scene, with it taking over globally and have operated in almost 50 locations around the world. Sometimes performing 130 shows a month, this experience has taken the world by storm. They started as a small show in Liverpool around 7 years ago before expanding to what they are today. 

If you don’t understand already, it is not your average bingo night. Whilst you can win some amazing cash prizes, the other prizes may be a little… unique! From giant fluffy unicorns to henry hoovers, you don’t really know what your walking into in this bingo world. 

Bongo’s Bingo is inclusive and incredible. Everyone from 18 to 92 can play and party together. There is no barrier or limits when it comes to a Bongo’s Bingo experience. Labelled as “the definitive bingo experience”, it really takes a turn from your average bingo hall and serious game and throws a thrilling twist to what is known as a boring and old persons game. 

Our experience was on a sold out Saturday night at London Bridge. Hosted at the steel yard venue, the experience was certainly a night to remember. The cost of the experience depends on the time of the booking, we got tickets for £18 on final release so really, it was great value for an event in London. Upon arriving, you will have your ID checked by security and your tickets scanned by event staff. From here, you get given your bingo book and a pen which we recommend keeping safe 

Arrival to the venue started from 6pm with last entry around 6:45pm and the event kicking off from 7:15pm. They have a main stage area with an Oktoberfest style seating arrangement but arriving early is key to get the best seats at the front. Whilst we waited, they had some music on in the background and we were able to get some drinks, although at a central London venue like this, they did come at a price. They had what most clubs would sell, from beer to rum jugs to spirits. They had some special deals on however, they were not cheap and the cost was more what you expect on a late night out in a club type venue. Either way, as long as you are prepared to spend a little bit of money then all is good for a great night out!

When the event gets started, be prepared for it to get wild. You can’t be sitting down all the time as you’ll be expected to get up on your seats and dance the night away, many, many times. The seating arrangement is a little tight so just note they are fitting as many people as they can into the main bingo area, so it’ll be cosy for sure.

Our night consisted of 3 main performers. We had the DJ & MC of the night being Matty Powers, playing some amazing cheesy hits alongside perfect karaoke songs & rave tracks. They also had 2 other stage performers who were essentially buff guys dressed as females. Whilst not our particular cup of tea for ourselves, they did so well in entertaining the overall crowd and offering such an alternative night. They were wild, crazy and damn right insane from start to finish. Don’t expect them to keep their clothes on and they really don’t have any limits! 

We enjoyed all the comedy aspects of the night alongside some of the brutal gameplay. All we will say here is don’t call Bingo if you haven’t got Bingo…

Our night was just full of a range of entertainment, from dancing after 2 numbers called to having random numbers being set to songs. 58 linking to 5, 6, 7, 8 obviously! 

Overall, we really had one hell of a night at Bongo’s Bingo at the steel yard and it really is the perfect event for anybody after something more on a night out. It starts early enough to enjoy and does not finish too late, whilst equally being a great warm up experience if you wish to continue afterwards. Just maybe don’t win a giant cut out of Gordon Ramsey as that may be a little difficult to walk around with! 

A huge shout out to the team and event that night, who secured us a great table near the front in return for this review. We look forward to seeing other Bongo’s Bingo events and already looking to book our next!
