On Tuesday 22nd July all the positive forces of the universe gathered, as well as the planets, to give me the best day ever ! 1 star for the BADGE : Yes I know it has nothing to do, but it does actually have to do indirectly. On Tuesday I received a confirmation email that I was joining the Yelp ELITE SQUAD :D OMG OMG OMG I was jumping everywhere and my colleague (I was supposed to be at work... working :) she asked me what was happening. And then she had me promise to take her as my +1 when possible. That was the best start of the day one can have on a Tuesday !!!!! 1 star for the HOSTESS : I arrived at 4 Dame Lane with my buddy and I saw her. Emily, the one, the only ! Wearing a gold disco ball like dress and flowers in her hair... A vision ! And on top of that she is the sweetest... What can you do, some people have it, some don't... and she does :) 1 star for the SHOWMAN : He was reading the numbers like no one, warming up the room like a fire in a boys scout camp and generously distributing gifts - even for those who were lost in the game ;) - like Santa on Xmas day ! 1 star for the FOOD : To be brutally honest with you, I am not a big fan of chicken wings because they are usually very spicy. There I said it, now throw me the first fluffy pillow I don't care ! What happened is I was super hungry, like starving, and I had a chicken wing... And I loved it ! It was not too spicy and it was actually really tasty with the white sauce dip. So I approve and will probably go back because - why not ? :D 1 star for the OVERALL EXPERIENCE : From start to finish the evening was just amazing ! Oh and I had a line at some point in the game and shouted LIIINE !! I think everybody heard me. I don't mind losing but I really wanted some bling here :) In France usually only seniors play Bingo on a Sunday afternoon... But if French people started to go to 4 Dame Lane, eat awesome chicken wings, drink the best mojitos, and play BLINGO with a great crowd - I bet more people would join the game ! Cannot wait for the next Yelp event :D read more

Probably my favourite Yelp event to date! I convinced a bunch of girls from work to sign up and get bingo-ing and it was a fantastic night. I have never been to 4 Dame Lane before, so I was really keen to give it a whirl. A great location with inviting flame sconces outside, how could one not like it. Inside is laid out really well, with fantastic floor spaces and the bar is easily accessible from all areas. Bingo is awesome. Wings are awesome. Put them together and you have a recipe for success, no matter the age group. Add in some bling and you've got me hook line and sinker. The night was thrilling, three numbers, two numbers.. ONE NUMBER TO GO! Unfortunately for me, I never got to shout blingo, but I very much enjoyed the experience. If I was to give some criticism it would be the following: 1. We found it very difficult to hear the numbers being called out. We sat right down the back as there were no other seats. I know there was a light up sign with the numbers, but I would highly recommend this be put up higher for all to see. 2. No non-alcoholic beers?! I don't really drink, so i would usually grab a non-alcoholic beer. I figured there wouldn't be an issue seeing as I had two tickets and would happily trade both for one. However as they weren't part of the deal, I opted for a soft drink which wasn't exactly ideal. 3. The wings could be a wee bit better. Maybe I'm spoiled from spending so much time at Blue Bar, but the wings were just okay to me. From speaking with my table, we all agreed. These minor issues aside, yes I would probably attend another blingo night at 4 dame lane, price depending. read more

As a complete newbie to bingo, a chicken wing pro, and having a complicated relationship with bling, I was quite curious to see what the night would bring. The venue was great, the bingo was a lot of fun (awesome number-calling and general entertainment by the Blingo King!), and the chicken wings were greeeeat... mmmmm.... chicken wings.... mmmmm. I was a bit confused about the rationale behind some of the decisions on the token-to-drink exchange, as apparently a token was good for a glass of Heineken... but not Carlsberg... and other such small weird decisions. None of this tarnished the glitter (see what I did there?) of a lovely evening though, would go again. Clickity Click (I'm winking and doing a shooty fingers motion)! read more

A great time was had last night. Good atmosphere and everyone was in fantastic spirits. I went there by myself, but wasn't alone for long. Met some great people. The bingo playing brought back some great memories of my uni days in Toronto. Not as fast paced here, but good to be there. Wings were delicious. There could have been a few more per group, but alas, you can't have everything and the mojitos were tasty. 2 tickets were plenty for a school night. Thanks Emily. Another great event. read more

Thank you Emily, great idea you and the team had there, also fab Bling on ye :) Wings - awesome, didn't know 4damelane sell wings that good, so crunchy, yum! Bingo - haven't played it since I was a child, loved it, great idea! Mojitos/beer - thanks for the promo, you never disappoint. Host/entertainment - my only improving factor - it was quite difficult to get into the mood where I was sitting, sometimes we couldn't hear the moderator also.i think it would have been cooler to have him at the DJ set or in the middle of the room or people sitting so that everyone can see. read more

Blingo Wings! - A personal bling? That's easy, go colourful :) - Yelp Events Near Me - Dublin, D

Can I just say... HOW AWESOME WAS THIS EVENT?! I really wish this was a weekly, or even a monthly event. I would totally be there! As soon as my husband and I arrived, we were given our bingo cards, drink tickets, and were told we could chose anywhere to sit. Luckily for us, we found a nice little two top where we could see the action, but weren't centre stage. The drinks were fab, as were the wings. I can't believe these were free... what!? The MC of the evening was quite funny, and kept the ball rolling on things. Unfortunately, I did not win anything... maybe next time, right? But all in all, it was such great fun. It was a great way to break up the week and do something different besides just sitting in a pub drinking. The only downside was that I had to leave a little early because I had to be up early the next morning. BUT... if this event is ever held again, I'm totally in! read more

Had a good time playing Bingo! The venue was great and the Bingo host was cool. Didn't manage to lay our hands on chicken wings though (we had seats at the busy bar location which got few wings and people around us were too many :) but the event was fun and well organised! Say hello to my flashy new watch! Bling Bingo! read more

This was a fantastic Night. Really fun really casual. The gorgeous Yelp Elite Emily and Geraldine greeted you on the door with warm smiles and cold beer/cocktails [token ;) ]. I hadn't quite read the description of what the night entailed. But surprisingly it included BINGO, CHICKEN WINGS and you guessed it...BLING. Plenty of Bling in fact, we're talking gold chains, watches and diamond encrusted phone covers. All authentic of course accompanying the hefty entrance fee of €0. Thoroughly enjoyed the night and the fabulous prizes which I'm ever so grateful to the amazing team at Yelp, 4 Dame lane and sponsors. Thanks again! YELP know how to PARDY! read more

Five Stars all the way ! Great event by Emily one of the best I've been to. The bingo was super fun and the number caller had us in stitches all night. As I was sitting at the front I'm sure I heard more of his jokes then those further back - but suffices to say I had pains in my stomach from laughing. Sadly I didn't win any Bling but the shot glasses were enough to keep me happy. More importantly the WINGS !! all I can say is wow - they were awesome. I may have a new favourite chicken wing place. Will absolutely be back for more of these. read more

Blingo Wings! - Bling Wings make me happy. - Yelp Events Near Me - Dublin, D

Brilliant night! It was my first Yelp event and I have to say I was really impressed with how well it was organized and run. There was a great atmosphere and a really inclusive spirit. 4 Dame Lane was a great venue for the event because of its handy location and great space. The staff were friendly and accommodating also. My only criticism was that the free drink tokens couldn't be used for non-alcoholic drinks. A night later in the week would have allowed us to stay out longer, but it was just the right length for a school night. Thanks to all involved! I left with new friends, new bling and a belly full of tasty wings! read more

I had a brilliant time at the blingo wings event. I was hesitent in going originally because it was a school night and I'd never played bingo before but I'm so glad I did go. The staff were very friendly and accommodating (both Yelp and 4 Dame Lane staff). I went with a small group of people and we grew to a bigger group by the end of the night. I was surprised to see so many attendees whilch made the atmosphere great. It was very well organised and the social media aspect was very well thought out and encouraged everyone to get involved which hopefully will get even more interest for future events. read more

Blingo Wings! - Yelp for life!! - Yelp Events Near Me - Dublin, D

Blingo Wings! - Spin the wheel - Yelp Events Near Me - Dublin, D

Ain't no thing like a chicken wing... and bingo... and bling... What a night! It was brilliant from start to finish. I had not been to any other events quite like it. Our hosts were, as always, very welcoming and friendly. The atmosphere was fantastic and it was great chatting to new and old Yelpers alike. I'd never been to 4 Dame Lane before but the decor was very unique and worked well. The staff were friendly and I would definitely visit the venue again (especially with the free chicken wing offer on Twitter! How can I say no?). I just liked the vibe there. I never thought I'd be so competitive over bingo but hey, when there's a gold Egyptian dog statue at stake things get REAL. Our table tweaked their marking strategies several times but it was not to be. The statue was gone almost as soon as blingo began. The games (spinning the wheel, dressing up, selfies and puns) were great fun and our table mate Sarah was absolutely on FIRE with the chicken related puns. Huge shout out to James John B (our new friend from the night) for his Yelp badge bling! Loved the creativity. read more

And here I was thinking that Bingo was something that only old people or British expats in Algarve did. But I didn't let prejudice get in the way and I had a great time that night! Shane, aka Bling King, is an excellent entertainer and led us through a night of clickity clicks and legs elevens with hints of sarcasm here and there. The prizes were just hilario... I mean fabulous: those real gold coins and the Egyptian dog statue fuelled our competitive spirit. Everybody looked suddenly very focused when the numbers were being called. When the chicken wings arrived we were all pleasantly surprised as they were plenty and tasty. No complaints over here! As for the venue itself, it was finally my chance to visit 4DL (I seemed to always postpone going there even though the entrance alone looked very tempting). I liked the service and the ambiance, the big tables and couches are great for groups, so I need to stop postponing and go back there soon. I didn't win a single prize, but that didn't matter, at least I found out bingo can be great fun, especially with fellow yelpers :) read more

So I finally got to play bingo. It took me a while to realise that all the 0's, 1's, 2's and so on are in the same colum - D'Oh. I blame not having dinner beforehand and going straight for Mojito instead (they were good though)! But once the penny dropped it was easier to check the numbers for sure - Sometimes they were called a bit too fast but always in a fun way. And finally our table got to taste the wings. They were worth the wait! Spicy, tasty and with a dip to balance the spice. I didn't win any bling - the numbers were not on my side and the questiions in between were basically impossible to understand at the end of the room. But still well worth giving 4 stars to a fun event of a different kind. It's been years that I've been in 4 Dame Lane. It was good to be back and I hope it's not again years before I'm here again. read more

Blingo Wings! - Algerian vs. German Notekeeping! - Yelp Events Near Me - Dublin, D

Went along tonight to play bingo, eat some wings and get to know some other yelpers (as I'm only a newbie) The bingo host was charming and funny. The organisers were very friendly and engaging and made me and my friends feel very welcome. The 4 Dame lane staff were also very approachable and the other attendees (especially the French gang) were very fun, chatting with us outside and introducing themselves. The wings came out gradually but when they did there was more than enough for us. I didn't win anything but that's the luck of the draw. Had a great time and look forward to more of these events :) read more
