MIDWOOD — The owner of a longtime bingo hall with a graying customer base has been operating an illegal gambling ring worth millions of dollars and plans to abscond to Costa Rica in the near. Bingo World is located in what can only be described as gutted ice rink filled with cheap slot machines (2/6 of the room) and long tables at which approximately 50 people were sitting with bingo supplies (3/6). There are two 'restaurants' (1/6) that seem to serve the exact same fare. Each menu item boasted a 33% increased risk of developing CAD.
Ahh, bar bingo. It’s not just your granny’s game anymore. These days, bingo is just a great way to gamble, drink beer, and swear a lot when the person next to you screams out their win as if an alien is erupting from their chest cavity.
Bar bingo took Brooklyn by storm around ’08, but has sadly died down with new fads like bar trivia and the never-ending comeback of karaoke. And while many local spots like Union Hall and Bell House do host bingo-related events once in awhile, demonic websites like Yelp and other internet info sources are usually out of date.

641 Classon Ave, Crown Heights Mondays 8-10pm
Nerdy Bingo is where you can find themed drinks like the C3P-Old Fashioned and Battlestar Galactaritas, but also get rewarded for quick answers to nerdy trivia questions. I spent a birthday here during Soul Night and a drag queen gave a surprise performance, so there’s really no telling what can happen at Bingo.
It’s Bayou Bingo at this Cajun comfort food joint! There’s a Mystery Grab Bag, Booze Ball shots, and the Nico Ball. What more could you want? “Dancing Queen” by ABBA usually makes an appearance as well. (Shameless plug: I waitress this bingo, when not serving brunch here. )
Jalopy Tavern 317 Columbia St, Red Hook Sundays, 4:30-6:30pm
Sunday night is Date Night at Jalopy, where you can play some bingo and catch dinner and a show right next door at the Jalopy Theater. If you live in the neighborhood or have the energy to get out to Red Hook, this is a surefire way to avoid bingo bros.

The best type of support a girl could ever need, Boobie Trap is the home to boobs, board games and drag queen bingo. Can I get a gay-men? (Also, can I please get a new card because this one must be cursed and the person across from me keeps winning)
Ginger’s Bar 363 5th Ave, Park Slope Sundays at 7:30pm
It’s drag, darling: Bingo with Luscious Lola serves up fun, Blue (bingo) Ball shots and wacky prizes galore.

Happy tamping! Remember to tip your servers/bartenders, because no one likes someone who comes and sits for hours for free bingo and doesn’t order anything. Don’t be a B6 (bag of dicks, okay, I tried).
