Drag Queen Bingo

Sunday Funday, Drag Queen Bingo style! While most everyone else in town was down at the Century Link attending the NCAA March Madness Tournament, we were having ourselves a grand ‘ole time at Flixx for their monthly event!

On the fourth Sunday of every month a line starts to form outside the cabaret bar on South 10th street, which can only mean it is drag queen bingo day. The doors open at 1pm, but if you want any chance at grabbing a seat you best be in line by 12:30. The event draws a mixed, but always enthusiastic, crowd – bachelorette parties, Sunday Funday goers, fellow drag queens, girls trying to find ways to entertain their boyfriends out of town mom…the usual 😉

So I say the event starts at 1pm, but really the game playing doesn’t kick in until about an hour later. Time flies by while people grab drinks, listen to the sassy Queens go over the rules, and get their bingo cards from the Speedo sporting Jeffrey. The event is free to attend and includes one bingo card for every round – what a deal! You can purchase extra cards for $1 each if you’re feeling aggressive…which we were.

It is never your typical bingo game – none of this cover all or make a line of 5 type stuff. If you want any chance at winning the hot dog bun toaster you better hope the numbers called form the shape of a martini glass (or other unmentionables) on your card.

When/if you do win you get the honor of picking out what the next prize will be off the table and showcasing it via a victory lap around the bar. Or, if you are unfortunate enough to call a false Bingo, you will be shamed and booed and also forced to make a lap around the bar. Both are equally entertaining for spectators!

I was skeptical about sharing this post because I wanted to keep this event my little secret, but it is just too much fun and the people need to know!

Hope to see you there next month!
