How to Play Bar Bingo

Last Updated: August 10, 2021

Bar Bingo is a great adult game that takes place in bars or pubs. You don't even need to drink anything to complete this game, only to use your observation skills, a phone with a camera, and social skills.

Steps

1
Create your bingo cards. Instead of having "BINGO" at the top of the cards, substitute it with "DRINK" or "BOOZE". Make it creative. Position the "FREE" space in the center of the board, two rows down from the third letter.
2
Think of keywords that are related to bars or pubs. You might think of things about the environment, drinks, events that happen, items found in a bar, etc. Make it unique and fun as possible.
- Margarita on a table
- Drink coaster
- Bartender
- Karaoke machine
- Sports on TV
- Pitcher of beer
- Bar stools
- Umbrella drink garnish

3
Write the keywords around the cards. It's up to you to use the same keywords on every card or have different cards say other terms. This is useful when lots of terms are built up or allow people to have the opportunity to find different things from others.
4
Distribute the cards out before everyone leaves. Make sure that everyone has enough time so that they know what they're looking for beforehand.
5
Have each person eliminate a keyword on their card when they see it. Make sure to tell them that in order to claim a keyword, they need to take a picture of it on their phone in the bar. Without a valid picture, the item on the board does not count.
6
Set a time limit. You can have everyone go out for an hour or two, just enough to speculate and enjoy themselves or bar hop. Call or text another party when cards are completed before the time limit is up.
7
Declare a winner. Once a person's card is completely blacked out first, then a winner can be declared. Depending on the complexity of the keywords, people can complete a standard Bingo row or column (up, down, or diagonal).

Warnings

Never have anyone drive during this game. Either walk or take public transportation, whether it's a cab or subway.
