Lucky Lady Bingo

Crazy cheap fun. You can also buy a Corono for $ 4 and have a drink while you bingo. Made for a pretty unique experience.
(I do feel like I should at least point out what will be obvious if you go there. It is not a nice-​looking place, outside or in. If you are open to that, you’ll do fine.)

Well they have a new machine hope this work need to do a little more work and oh yea new games added for 6 computers the snack bar is still slow

Of course we’d like this place more if we ever won anything but we never do. This place is cheap entertainment and a great place to kill a couple of hours. At $ 3 per bingo card you can’t go wrong, especially when you can turn that into a few hundred bucks. There’s nothing glamorous about this place both inside and out, don’t expect the Bellagio on the strip. The people here however are all very friendly and helpful. There’s all these side games going on other than the regular bingo so it gets really confusing as to what’s going on for first timers and non-​regular bingo players. Drinks at the snack bar are pretty cheap and you can order food next door from the Mexican restaurant to eat while playing. There’s really nothing to not like about this place, other than losing.

its fun we have been twice have not won anything but will continue to go till i do win something also very cheap if you are on a budget

What is not to like? Seriously?
If you like to smoke (in case you didn’t know) most bingo halls, including this one, have their own completely closed off, separate smoking area. Smokers smoke, non smokers don’t have to deal with it. Perfect.
For four bucks you get your typical four bingo pages that include maybe twelve games on each paper and you can buy additional pages for a dollar each. (If this isn’t news to you, ok cool. But a lot of people know nothing about Bingo halls at all so this may be more for them.) For ten bucks you can use a bingo computer that runs some sixty games at a time and all you have to do is push a button when a letter/​number is called. Either way, your likely to have a good time. Have a margarita or a beer while you play and hope to win anywhere from 250 to 750 for a $ 4 – 10 investment.
Yes please.

Event planning? YES! Austinites, Lucky Lady Bingo is a hidden gem glaring hot pink right in front of us! It’s a nice big space, it’s operated by Mexitas restaurant next door so the catering is easy, and it gets better ~ their profits support local non-​profit organizations such as Resistencia Bookstore
. Plus the location is next to I-​35 downtown with parking. What a great place to book a meeting, conference, or celebration!
After the phony «community space» Space12 rejected the
training session, finding another location for 8 hours on a weekend was tough. Mexitas/​Lucky Lady Bingo was able to secure a date, and provide great rates on morning catering breakfast tacos and full lunches for 200 people. They also appreciated the mission of the requesting organization, and have been involved in supporting neighborhood community building for decades.
If you’re reading this for insider bingo tips, I’ve never been, but I can say scoring an all day Saturday reservation here makes this lucky lady feel like a winner!

Even though I never win it’s still a good time… there are two games per night (call on Saturdays because sometimes the have live music instead) and it’s pretty cheap to play. We play two cards each and add optionals for the first game but can still get out for under $ 20. The downside, the have a liquor license now so its no longer BYOB. Drinks aren’t all that $$$ but you might wanna stick with beer if you’re picky… wait, if you’re picky don’t go!
The people watching is great, all walks of life, and they have a separate smoking room so now worries about that issue. Kids are allowed but if they aren’t old enough to play I think they would be too bored.

I LOVE LUCKY LADY!
I’d been meaning to go to the «pink gorilla» bingo place for years but it’s… well, really far north… so I just hadn’t gotten around to it… (it would really require «making a night of it»…i.e. pre-​dinner at kim phung and post-​appointment at «sexy scissors», ha!)
…so i was stoked when Lucky Lady popped up in our hood! :) You can’t miss the place– it’s a cotton candy colored building on I-​35 and 11^th Street…
I’ve been there twice now and it’s a ton of fun. as mentioned in the other reviews it’s only $ 4 to play 4 games. $ 20 if you want a computer. though they start to hawk the computers for $ 10 at the end of the night. I’m a fan of the good ol’ fashioned paper charts myself. and the meditative «dot! dot! dot!’ of the daubers ($ 1).
The owner is super nice and talked to us on both of our visits. They’re about to open a full service restaurant and he warned me to enjoy my bottle of wine while I can… apparently they’re getting a liquor license in 3 weeks. DO YOU HEAR THAT, PEOPLE!!!
It’s okay though, I’ll still love them. And I bet they’ll serve really delicious margaritas.
He also told me on our first visit that they plan to start «cosmic bingo,» adding a third session at 10:00pm with lights, music, and dancing!!! I forgot to ask if I can rent the place out for my birthday… :)

been a long time since i played bingo in texas, 1^st time in austin.
went on a monday night like 2 minutes before start time thinking i would not find a parking space or place to sit. found both no problem. there are 2 sessions, 7 days a week. 7−8pm, and 8:30 — 9:30pm. as other review reported 4 bux gets u one book which 4 cards good for one session. each card for a different game. each card has 9 bingos games on it, so each game u have 9 chances. they sell an optional game at the beginning (game 1) for an extra buck. that one pays $ 250. the book games payouts are game 2, $ 400, 3^rd, $ 500, 4^th pays $ 600, 5^th pays $ 750. the non smoking room was a nice size. everyone around was friendly. i forgot that you can take minors to bingo and they can play if you have an adult with them. alot of kids around, but all of them behaved. byob was awesome. brought a flask of rum, and got a sprite w/​free refills for only $ 1.30. they even had a free enchilada dinner between the 1^st and 2^nd session. thats right. free food on mondays and fridays. and great specials the rest of the week. currently its:
free food monday.
$ 1 burger & fries tuesday.
$ 1 taco plate wed.
$ 1.25 enchilada plate thurs.
free food friday.
$ 1 chicken fried steak sat w/​2 sides i think.
75 cent hotdog sundays
that is insane.

You know that big pink building off I-​35 and 12^th where Perez Hilton had his SXSW party a couple years ago? Well, it’s been converted into a bingo hall. I’ve bingo-​ed all over Texas and Lucky Lady is the cheapest I’ve come across. Each session is $ 4. Yes, only $ 4 for a chance to win up to $ 750 and an hour of top-​notch people watching.
The basic info:
Two sessions a night, seven nights a week. First session at 7:00. Second session at 8:30. $ 4 per session. Computers (plays 66 cards) are $ 20. Optional games are $ 1. CASH ONLY.
The smoking section here is a separate room. Non-​smoking and smoking sections are about equal size. They have a snack bar, although I didn’t try anything. I saw people with tacos, burgers, hot dogs… the usual items you’d expect. BYOB people. They have an ATM available if you forget cash, but it was not working the night we went. I walked next door to CVS and used their Chase ATM.
If you’re looking to get out of the house for a little while, but don’t want to spend much money, consider playing a session or two of bingo. Good luck!
