The 6 Best Bingo Brunches in London

London's best bingo brunches, from drag hosted bingo nights to purpose built bingo halls with a bottomless brunch bolted on.

In short: our top picks are Throwback Bottomless Bingo Brunch at Tequila Mockingbird, Covent Garden, The Big Drag Bingo Brunch at Phoenix Arts Club, Soho and Buff Bingo Bottomless Drag Brunch at Fire and The Garden, Vauxhall. 6 places in total, chosen on merit, with the full reasoning below.

Bingo brunch is drag brunch’s more competitive cousin. You still get a host working the room and bottomless drinks, but now there is a dabber in your hand and a genuine reason to look up from your phone between courses, because someone at your table might actually win something. The format varies more than you would expect. Some venues lean hard into drag performance with bingo as a side game, others build the whole afternoon around a proper bingo caller and digital scorecards. Read the description before booking if you care which version you are getting.

Before you book

Expect to pay from around £30 for a food and bingo ticket up to £55 for a full bottomless sitting with prizes included. Saturday afternoons book out three to four weeks ahead, particularly for hen parties, so a Sunday sitting is often the better chance of a late booking.
