B-I-N-G-O!
Looking for something new and different to do this week? No longer a game for your grandparents in a VFW Hall, Bingo has arrived in Boston in an entirely different style.
Round up your friends and bring your Bingo game to District Restaurant & Lounge for Not Your Granddaddy’s Bingo on Wednesday nights.
Doors open at 5:00pm and the balls start rolling at 6:30pm. It’s free to play and the games are continuous so you can get in on the action whenever you arrive. There are plenty of great prizes to be won.
District is located at 180 Lincoln Street in Boston’s Leather District (not far from South Station)

Wine Riot!, is an expo-style tasting event in Boston’s South End featuring over 250 wines. The Riot! will give drinkers ranging from curious new customers to enthusiastic collectors the unique opportunity to sample, mix and mingle with wine experts from around the globe. Wine Riot! will expand attendees’ wine knowledge through a printed wine guide, mobile technology, free mini-seminars, and forty fantastic exhibitors.
More wine knowledge will be dropped during free Crash Courses Seminars hosted by sponsors throughout the Riot! sessions, dishing in-depth explanations of specific grapes, regions, and growing trends. Rioters can stop in for complimentary guided tastings and head back to the main floor equipped with stellar tips and know-how to help them face any wine list, party or store.
Tickets are now on sale and will soon be available in wines stores around Boston.
Pirate Scavenger Hunt
This Saturday, there’s a pirate themed scavenger hunt around Boston called Midnight Madness. The event raises money for Best Buddies MA, which helps people with intellectual disabilities make friends and find jobs all over MA.
Each team gets a scavenger hunt list and then walks around the city, solving riddles and completing tasks to win points. The items on the list are really fun, like “duct tape your teammate to a wall,” or “stage a kung fu fight in a chinese food restaurant.”
The team with the most points wins the grand prize. At the end of the night, all the teams meet up at Tommy Doyle’s for drinks.
If you and your friends, old roommates, running buddies, coworkers, camp friends, kickball teammates, etc. are interested in signing up a team, check out www.themidnightmadness.com
I think it’s a $15 to register which includes your entrance into Tommy Doyle’s.
