2024 Festive Drink Bingo
Drink Bingo is one of our favorite annual holiday traditions, and this year’s roster is the most exciting one yet! Prepare to earn stamps at two dozen downtown bars and restaurants, which are pulling out all the stops to ensure you have the most jolly of times. Think house-made ‘nog, mulled wines, creative cocktails, and more.
But, don’t take it from us. Comb through this list and start strategizing your route.
Get your game on, holiday style
Here’s how the game works: Head to any participating location, order a drink, and request a bingo card. You’ll get a stamp for every hot or cold beverage you buy (to-go counts, too!). Rack up the bingos (and pre-arrange a DD if you’re planning to indulge in extra alcohol). Also note: there are non-alcoholic alternatives for every boozy beverage, so everyone will have a great time playing this game.
Once you’ve gotten all your bingos—or run out of time—turn in your card at Santa Fe Mexican Grill & Cantina any time before January 15th to pick up a limited edition sticker and you’ll be entered into a raffle for a chance to win a gift card to your favorite bingo spot!
Bingo runs from November 29th -December 31 this year. Game on, Edmonds.
