"My husband and I went for our first bingo experience. Must be 18+ to attend- kiddos aren’t even permitted in the building during play. Staff were super helpful and nice. Let me say this- bingo is not for the faint of heart. I was mentally exhausted after 21 rounds of bingo over 4 hours. I have absolutely no idea how some of the ladies were making side bets and conversations while I was struggling to keep up with the number calls. This is serious bingo play. I will return one day but I couldn’t handle that weekly. Up to $30ish to play, depending on the packs you get. There is a yummy snack bar- with treats available. I was permitted to bring my own water cup- which I appreciated."

"I spent a nice evening with family. The burgers are good but the karaoke was a bit too loud for me. It was tough to hear conversations around me."
