No major problems, but the small problems are plentiful:…read more (1) The cashier (where you buy your cards) is in the smoking section. (2) There's no menu at the cashier for card prices. (3) The website lists prices for the computer tablets (which hold 66 cards), but not for paper cards. (When I went, it was $2 for of paper, which had 12 cards for each of the five games in the session.) (4) If you win, they deduct 5% for taxes. That would be fine, except it's not explained anywhere, not on the website, not on the instruction sheets at the tables, not on signage anywhere. (5) There is no vibe. It's certainly not a festive atmosphere, It's pretty dead.

I reluctantly came here to play bingo with my mom and am glad I did.. won a $250 jackpot! Sweet…read more Might have to come here more often now heh ;) Typical bingo hall without the fancy extras like touch-screens and all that jazz, so bring your bingo daubers with you or buy some here. All games are played in English-style which means just the numbers are called and not the letters "B-I-N-G-O." Also, each number is called moderately fast in succession so if you're a beginner, you could get easily lost (and lose money if you have a potential winner). There is a lit-up board displayed next to the caller so you can double check if you have a missing number. You can buy a bingo pack which enables you to play for a full session. If you need extra cards, there are floor workers who periodically come around. Just raise your hand holding money and they'll come to you. I've noticed that the bingo crowd here can be a bit ornery and rude. I've heard them yelling at the floor workers because they're too impatient to wait their turn. Been to many bingo halls in my day and this behavior is also typical unfortunately. Usually, it's the bitter elderly ladies who are the culprit. Important tip: if you do have a winner, yell bingo LOUDLY. I can't stress this enough because the caller is a bit hard-of-hearing. For instance, one lady was very soft-spoken and lost because he already called the next number not noticing. Good luck!! * No smoking * $10/pack * $1 per extra card (excluding jackpot) * Jackpot card pack for an additional $10, or 6 cards for $5, or 1 card for $1 * Jackpots are split 60/40 (60% of money goes to the winner and 40% to KoC)

My boyfriend and I will go to Bike Farm next door for bike service. We've have a few beers at Little Longhorn etc, but this one time (4:30 pm on a Wednesday) we went in recently. NO ONE was in there and I set my bag on a barstool, of maaaaaany open barstools. An older man walks up and says' "I MADE THIS BAR WITH HOOKS so you can put your purse underneath. It wasn't what he said, it was how he said it with a condescending attitude and tone. I was apparently a menace or "youngin" being rude. I removed my purse from the stool and put it on the way too tiny hook for anyone's bag and then LITERALLY NO ONE sat there the next 40 minutes until we left. I'm always thoughtful, that if it's a crowded place, that I wouldn't take up a stool with my bag . Him, his comment and attitude were unnecessary. Whether he "built" the bar or not. You're running customers off by having a shit attitude. See you never LLS and crappy attitude old man "who built the bar"

Only complaint I have is the NON smoking section still smells like the smoking section and if yiou have to use the bathroom you have to walk across the smoking section to get to the bathrooms.

I'm new to Bingo and decided to check out a couple of bingo halls in Austin. Capitol Bingo really…read morestands out for a few reasons: 1) Friendly and fun - the staff here is super friendly, can't wait to help out a new person and everyone here is smiling and having a good time. Some of the bingo halls are operated by a staff of grumpy people and it makes the clients grumpy too. North Austin Bingo (see my review) is a joyless pit while this place was a fun time! 2) Affordable. This place has it figured out. Want to play bingo on paper with ink? Only $1 for a card!!! You want a computer, it's only $5 for the session. You want to be a total degen and surround yourself with computers, well at least you wont break the bank. Two computers and one paper were $11 here. Cost me $36 at North Star Bingo and it was horrible. 3) They actually call Bingo here. When the actual Bingo session begins, they treat it like a real game of Bingo. They call the numbers, they give you time to mark them off. Sounds simple, but if you've played at a hall where they just rip the numbers off super fast you know that all the fun is sucked out of the game. They respect that some people want to be entertained, not just gamble. 4) Pull tabs are kept in control. All these places rely on pull tabs to make ends meet, and the customers certainly eat them up. They are not my thing at all, but this place neatly compartmentalizes the games so if you want to play Bingo, you play Bingo during the sessions. Other halls had so many pull tabs and horse race games mixed it it was distracting. 5) It's clean! This can't be said for some of the dingy halls in Austin 6) Just an ok place to hang out. The sound is good. they have a full snack bar with food. The chairs are comfortable. They seem to care to make the experience a good one. If you read my reviews of some other bingo halls, you will see not many care at all. This place cares.

However, I gave Capitol Bingo a try this time around and they exceeded my expectations. The staff were extremely nice, they answered all my questions so that I wouldn't be confused. They also kept coming around to check on me to make sure that I was playing the correct games at the correct time. Even though I don't like pull tabs, I actually got in on the action since the staff explained how to play them and the differences between them. I also loved that this place was completely smoke-free so I could enjoy playing Bingo without having an allergic reaction to the smoking. This was an awesome experience and I highly suggest that you check out Capitol Bingo if you're in the Austin area.
