If someone was talking to you about bingo, you would probably assume they were elderly. However, what if you found out this game of bingo was at a hip speakeasy-type bar with music and prizes, all in a happening neighborhood in Chicago? That is exactly what “live bingo” is, and it is too good not to miss.

Every second Monday of the month, the gorgeous bar The California Clipper hosts what they called “Clipper Bingo”, which is a combination of everything you could want to start the week off right. The entrance is free, and upon arrival, everyone is handed a bingo board. Each table has a glass of puzzle pieces used to mark the squares, and a swing band plays in the background as the lead singer calls out the numbers. Each round even has a different unique prize!

What is best about the bingo is not only is it fun, but in between games the band will play amazing music of all genres, but mostly jazz and swing. You are also sipping on delicious cocktails all the while, so there is really nothing to hate about it. So if you are in Chicago, check it out!
