I think I love a new hobby - which could be dangerous…read more I took my mom along with me and we had a great time. Everyone was so helpful - I thought everyone would be so in toned into the game and wouldn't want to engage with newbies but I was totally wrong. The game runs from 6pm to 10pm - an estimate of $14 will get you enough bingo cards. Please note - entrance is on the side and not the front but there's also a sign on the front door. Food is available but no alcohol beverage. If this is your first time - I highly suggest getting there at 5pm so you can ask questions and get settled in. 5:30pm is when you're able to purchase the bingo cards. Totally had a great time and I will be back. Happy playing!!!

Great staff! When newbies come in, everyone is willing to help them play well. The hall is clean…read more The technology is older, bit works well. Love the Tuesday night session the most.

Confession: I really love Bingo…read more Now, maybe that makes you think I'm a bit of an old lady but you just don't understand! It's a serious rush! Hearing those numbers called, putting your dauber to the paper, feeling the adrenaline course through your veins as you find yourself 5 away from filling your card. 4....3...2... "BINGO" someone yells from the other side of the room. "WHAT THE F@*#?" You whisper scream while staring angrily at your card then angrily at the elderly woman holding up her hand in excitement. It can get intense. And more likely than not, you're going to lose. But it can be profitable. Seriously, I had 2 friends each win a grand. So that's what keeps me coming back for more. Even if I've only ever gotten one Bingo for $25. It's the promise of a cool 1K that gets me all excited. Paradise Bingo takes care of me when I'm here. It's a clean facility with super nice cashiers who take the time to explain to newbies what you need and when each card you buy is going to be called. I had two buddies who were new to the game join us last night and when they asked me what they needed to buy I just said "have them tell you," because the gals behind the counter can do a much better job that I ever will. The concession stand has some snacks and pop should you need a refreshment. The sessions go well into the night which means you're going to need fuel so go ahead and buy that bag of M&Ms, that package of Reeses Cups. You deserve it. They also sell daubers at the counter if you're not lucky enough to have a friend with a bingo bag full of roughly 10 of them to share like I am. The staff will walk around selling additional cards should you decide last minute that you wish to try your luck just a little more. They take both American and Canadian monies here and if you buy with American you win American back. Sameies with the Canadian. They also have electronic machines so you can play that way. I've never tried it because I like the traditional style but if you're tech savvy and curious you can get your touch screen on. I didn't win anything last night. Nor did anyone in my party. But that won't stop me. No. I shall not be deterred. I will get you some day, Roving L. I will make you happen sometime, full card. Yes. It will happen.

Wonderful food, service and atmosphere! Great place for a date night or to celebrate something…read morespecial.

Blue Llama is a nice club, quite upscale and seems to have a lot of different music options from…read morenight to night. On a recent visit, the music wasn't my favorite, the musicians were definitely talented but a bit too much self-indulgent horn playing that wasn't always pleasing to my ear. But of course your music experience will vary from night-to-night. Drinks & wine list were nice and service was good initially but disappeared when the first set was getting close and I went at least 20-30 minutes with an empty drink glass plus it was about 45 minutes between our first and second courses being served. Only as we were getting close to the end of the first set did servers again reappear to quickly get us our last 2 prix fixe courses and be able to turn our table before the next set. I had heard good things about the food and was looking forward to eating here in addition to the music. Unfortunately the food was a disappointment for me and just about every dish was under-seasoned. The one hit was my wife's branzino, while the one big miss was the red beans & rice add-on to the prix fixe menu - I mean, nobody in NOLA would pay $28 for red beans but if we did I would surely expect more than a few tiny pieces of sausage and to not have undercooked rice and undercooked beans plus need more salt and acid. Brussels were fine but again missing salt and ideally a bit of acid while the pork chop was somewhat fatty but cooked well however other flavors & textures on the plate just weren't very exciting. I would consider coming back to Blue Llama for the right show and the ambience is great, but would probably choose to eat elsewhere. Maybe it was just a bad night in the kitchen, who knows but I'm not inclined to return for dinner again.
