As a Bingo fanatic, I was absolutely so so so excited to see how Bingo was at Hamburger Mary's! I had never been, and it seemed to be something that would be right up my alley... Yet the experience was nothing more than displeasing... The Bingo event itself was a 10 game 3 card set, and it cost $20 for charity, awesome! But, little did we know that playing Bingo here would come with ridicule, hostility, and a vibe of just "getting this over with". The even was slated to start at 7:00 so we arrived at 6:30 to eat, but they didn't start till 7:30 without even telling anyone waiting, which began to annoy many customers. The intermission was also supposed to be 15 minutes but when from 8:05 to 8:40... As the game went on, they would call the balls so rapidly that it was very difficult to process and keep up. In addition, they don't display them. When they were asked to slow down, he gave a stern "No.", which honestly came off as a racially charged response to the woman just trying to keep up. They just do this for your money, it most likely doesn't go to charity, and they don't have a sense of actually just having a good time playing bingo. Hamburger Mary's needs to reassess this event and their continuation of the "Bingo Boy" ...who is essentially just that. Acting like a child, trying to get what he wants. Which is just money. read more

Having fun while supporting a good cause (charity of the night) = 5 stars! Doing it with Drag Queens who will spank you if you ask nicely- even better! I don't think I have played Bingo for at least a decade, and before last night, I had never played the version in which you have to mark your card in the shape of a rim job (the boxes directly around the free spot). Or a stripper pole ("Pole Dancer"). Why else is Legendary Bingo so much cooler than regular ol' Bingo? ~Well for starters, you have a great Drag Queen (Belle Aire) calling the Bingo numbers. ~All the creative things that go along with calling the Bingo numbers (O-68- I'll owe you one) ~If you call out Bingo and you don't have it, you get spanked. Yes we witnessed this; you know who you are. ;) ~When you do win, you have to run around so everyone can throw their crumpled up loser Bingo cards at you ~The prizes are interesting to say the least. My wife and I won several man on man porn DVDs in a bag full of condoms and lube. Even if we have absolutely no use for any of this, it was still hilarious to win it! It was especially hilarious when another girl won and our Bingo announcer made a joke about how all the lesbians are winning the porn...umm, yeah....she wasn't a lesbian! Oh, we laughed so hard! So now we have a buttload of condoms and lube (bun pun intended) and know a cool place to spend Wednesday nights! We were lucky enough to find street parking on a rainy night, and the rain was nice enough to stop for us when it was time to leave. Bingo is $20 (wifey and I shared). Alcohol and food are available and the servers keep coming around, even amid the Bingo card throwing. If you are drinking a lot, you might want to have a friend play with you so you don't miss an important box on your stripper pole or rim job! I just feel sorry for whoever has to clean this place up when the night is over. The floor is *covered* in crumpled up Bingo cards and anything else people could think of throwing! read more

I went to Hamburger Mary's at the invitation of a friend who worked for Human Rights Campaign and informed me that there was a fund raiser for Project Ten which is an organization associated with the Los Angeles School District that is an advocate of students rights for LGBTQ. Project Ten was founded by V. Uribe at Fairfax High School when she created a safe place for LGBTQ students. The fund raiser was in the guise of DRAG bingo where a drag queen with big hair & even bigger makeup would call out the numbers & put in her two cents in terms of adding colorful, sometimes louche repartee to enliven the atmosphere for those playing drag bingo. The players also must be participatory by being LOUD and shouting back cued responses when a certain number is called. For instance, "G-54", you yell "The Disco G" for the long gone Studio 54 in New York which for one was the gathering place for artist Andy Warhol & his gang. "I-22", you shout "Quack, Quack" since the 22 looks like ducks swimming if you get that drunk out of your mind. Well, you get the idea. The winner who calls out "BINGO" has to run a gauntlet & be pelted by the balled up bingo sheets thrown by the rest of us who lost. Then the winner is allowed to claim the prize. In case of simultaneous shouts of Bingo by the various players, they get to pick a hidden bingo ball and the one with the largest number wins. The rest of the losers get a booby prize which they get by fishing into a bag & pick up a "crap" prize. I ordered an Ostrich Burger & fries. Why Ostrich? It's because Ostrich has the texture of beef & beefy verisimilitude of flavour but has the lightness of chicken for easier digestion. I got it medium rare under the suggestion of our fun, slightly dizzy waiter. I opted for the Queen Mary which was melted cheddar cheese, grilled onions, bacon strips, 1000 Island dressing, lettuce & tomato slice. Not bad. The fries were sprinkled with a mildly spicy hot chile powder sort of like powdered Pico de Gallo found at Mexican markets. Interesting touch for Mary's since they seem to be cuisine conventional. However, I must say that Drag Bingo is the main draw at Hamburger Mary's. The food is ok, but the entertainment value of Drag Bingo is wonderful. Go with a bunch of friends & you'll enjoy about two hours of kitchy, drag, bitchy, witty entertainment as well as being able to win some prizes. Way more fun than going to Church Bingo with some stern nuns presiding. Come to think of it, maybe the Sister of Perpetual Indulgence should be doing their version of Nun Bingo at Mary's. To top the cake with some frosting, as we were leaving the 7pm Bingo session, there was a group waiting for the 9pm which included two members of the West Hollywood High Cheerleaders with their big hair & big faux BOOBS. Another fantastic addition to the already riotous Drag Bingo. They let me take a picture of them in front of Mary's. Great end to a great evening of fun with friends. You gotta go. read more

Not your grandma's bingo for sure! This is fast-paced, randy, boozy drag queen bingo~ They aren't kidding when they say they'll spank you with a paddle for calling a false bingo. Crowd and host(ess) are equally LOUD and rowdy, so I would come back with some earplugs. Witnessed a chick at a neighboring table fall from her stool because she was piss drunk...and she had to be carried out~ Yes, it really is THAT nuts! I actually thought I smelled vomit but it turned out to be asiago from someone's spinach dip. Food is typical bar fare. I stuck to finger foods (half orders of fried mac and cheese balls & fried pickles were approx $5 each) that would not get in the way of my game. $20 bingo is available Wednesdays and Sundays. Giant drinks...don't order a double. Just don't! A double (more like, quadruple) goose and soda cost $15. The valet charged me $4 to self park in the side lot. read more

My friend, who is typically out of town on work, was finally in town for the week so he wanted to try Drag Bingo. At first, I was kind of meh about it because I'm not super into drag and, well, when I imagine bingo players, it's probably retired folks. However, Drag Bingo was a blast! There's a $20 cover fee (cash) that is donated to a chosen charity. It's basically just normal bingo with flair and whoever our hosts were did a great job at keeping everyone entertained and laughing. When you're seated at a table, there will be a yellow cheat sheet telling you what the winning patterns are and what the callbacks are for certain letter-number combinations. It does get rowdy and hard to hear sometimes though so pay attention! Depending on who is calling the numbers, it can also seem like numbers are being called super quickly. I wasn't lucky enough to win anything but if you win anything, you easily made your cover fee back and then some. I was super jealous of some of the prizes. Also, depending on how your round is going, if you ever need to pee or use the restroom, just skip a round or make your friend mark your board for you while you're gone. If you wait until the end, the line will be LONG, especially since everyone has probably been knocking back drinks for the 2 hour duration without going. read more

WHAT A DRAG!!! i say i say why does that have a bad connotation? I'm gonna start using that to make it mean something good. Cause this place rocks with some of the best cocks. (or taped down lack there of) because these drag queens were a hoot and a half. First off, lets get this out of the way so we can both concentrate on the review. That bartender was effing sexy...that's all I could think about all night. My lady bits were a tingling. If I had a vadge, I'd definitely need a wet nap. That's all I gotta say. As for the bingo? I was so close, I wanted to win so bad! Not because I wanted anything they were giving away..but because I'm a competitive person. Everyone was in high spirits and in great moods, probably because the drinks were strong and huge. I'm sorry I was like this all night :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GWPOPSXGYI&feature=related this place is awesome fun...go out and show me some aureola! read more

Never fails to not entertain me. This is the 3rd no 4th no 5th? 7th? AH well point taken, I've been here many times and truly enjoy bringing new people to experience this AWESOME place. Jefferey is an incredible host here. He brings out the best of bingo as well his guests do. The servers at Mary's are such sweethearts! Makes me feel like family almost. I do have to say I'm a bit bitter for never ever winning, but don't you worry I got my little mischievous plans for next time ;) Newcomers: Like I've said before ; Don't expect this to be a boring ole bingo, get ready to get your panties wet, throw some trash, and get your yelling on b-e-c-a-u-s-e... ITS ON! _B___I___N___G__O_ | 7 | | 3 | | | |___ |___ |___ |___ |___| Its not after but "B-4!" | | 5 | | 2 | | |___ |___ |___.|___.|___| GDisco-54 " Ouu Ouu!" | 1 | | 4 | 5 | 8 | |___ |___ |___ |___.|___.| B-18 thats what HE said! | Y | E | L | P |`10 | |___ |___ |___.|___.|___.| read more

Who thought Bingo was only for your grandmas & grandpas??? Come to Hamburger Mary's and you'd be surprised that Bingo is so damn fun for everyone, well, not all ages are permitted, as long as you're 21, you're good to enter!!! First and foremost, thank you Katrina M for arranging this UYE and made a deal with Hamburger Mary's just for us, crazy Yelpers, we totally had a fun night and it wouldn't be as great without your help in making reservation and such!!! Now onto the real review! =) For $20 donation, you got to enjoy BINGO and having fun with your friends. Food was definitely a let-down, but last night we weren't here for that. About 25 of us were there for hell-of-a-fun night of BINGO and how do we play it??? LOUDLY!!! One person from our group won the big prize that included Ray-Ban sunglasses, $100 Apple Gift Cert, one bottle of Grey Goose Vodka and many more stuff inside the basket. It's so good to pelt people when they won each game, while they were running around the restaurant!!! I definitely can't wait to come back and do this once in awhile, it's so much fun and brings up old memories when I was playing Bingo at home with friends!!! In this place, once you do DRAG, you could NEVER go back!!! read more

Legendary Bingo - our YeLp group @ Bingo! - Bingo Halls Near Me - West Hollywood, California

Always a great time! Well run, entertaining and a great way to support local organizations!

Oh man, Wednesday nights at Hamburger Mary's is a MUST! Where else can will you find hot drag queens spanking people's bottoms with a bingo paddle, the opportunity to pelt someone with losing bingo cards, an actor from The L Word teaching you the sign for "rim job" and "lesbian", sexy prize baskets, and delicious food? I can't think of ANYWHERE else! It was such a fun experience and best of all my friends and I had to best seats in the house! We were lucky enough to not have to wait in line, got free appetizers (calamari, wings, etc.), and extra bingo cards b/c one of my friends had won their "FREE BINGO NIGHT" package from another Bingo night (it also came with tons of sex toys, lubes, etc). I heard that it usually costs $20 for about 6-8 rounds, but if you give them your email addie, then it will only cost you $10. I didn't have to pay for my Bingo sheets since my friend had an extra set. YAY!!!!!! I suggest you get there early because my friends said there was a lonnnng line when they got there. I arrived just after they let everyone in AND snagged an awesome parking spot right outside HM so I completely missed the line and wait. YAY! Too bad I wasn't as lucky with my Bingo gaming. I was almost always 1 spot away from BINGO and then someone else would win! Just FYI, if you and another person calls BINGO at the same time, there will be a tie breaker. The drag queen will grab a bunch of balls and you and your competition will have to choose one from his/her hand and whomever gets the bigger # is the winner. The loser then chooses a random prize from their American Idol Bag of Crap. It usually consists of stickers or markers from the 99 cent store or something to that effect. It was such a great night. I want to go again!! read more

So much fun. Amazing MC. He/she is gorgeous, with a knock out figure I would kill for. My only real gripe is that she calls those numbers too damn fast. Kinda sucks, too if more than one person Bingos, they only give one cool prize, and the other people who also Bingo from the same round (they draw for the highest number ball) get to pick a 'prize' out of the "Bag_O_Crap". Would be funnier if they gave a "Booby prize", and it was some kind of boobies (even a pink ribbon for breast cancer awareness would be more thoughtful than a plastic measuring cup)...just sayin. But, it was a fun night, drinks were strong, and tasty. Waiter was very raunchy, but funny (Esteban). We loved him. read more

It's on! It's on! Damn, it was on all night, but I never got a bingo!!! bitches... Had an awesome time at HM bingo! For 20 bucks you get to: -support a great charity -compete to win prizes or a pick from the 'bag of crap' -be entertained by one of the fierce queens and Jeffrey -holla back during bingo -have an awesome time pelting the winners with your wadded up losing bingo cards, and be a lil bitter about not winning! All in all, an awesome event; one I hope to repeat in the near future. I will say, however, that while the drink selection is vast, the strength of the drinks could be better. Next time I'm flasking it, and, as Erin V. recommends, tailgating prior to coming in! What's the game? BINGO! How do we play it? LOUDLY! read more

Geez. Where the hell do I start. I've been invited to this bingo event before by various friends. I've always turned it down. Hand it to some yelpers who finally got me to go to this friggin' place. Coming from a strictly heterosexual male, I can honestly say this about Legendary Bingo @ Hamburger Mary's: FAB - YOO - LUSS Considering the price, time and money you can spend elsewhere... HM seems like a bargain compared to the entertainment you receive there. For a suggested donation of $20 bucks you get a set of bingo cards that will last you a couple of hours. Add to that some $5 margarita and martini specials? Can't knock that. Even if the drinks are more mixer than alcohol. Just pound em and get tipsy on the volume of liquid. (They will upsell you to a double shot for $2 more) The food prices are expected and nothing you haven't seen before. The food is standard bar food. Greasy and hot. But you're not coming to Hamburger Mary's for food. Bitch please. You're not coming to HM for a hamburger. You're coming here for Marys. Drag Queens galore. They make an old folks game into something fun. You can't help but have fun. You can resist but soon you'll find yourself screaming and cheering for the next number. Cheering LOUDLY!!! In a short while you'll either want to get pelted... or get bent over for a spank. I came in a little hesitant. That resistance went away quickly once you feel the energy of the room. Jefferey, Bingo Boy, is a fantastic Master of Ceremony. He keeps the pace going with interesting twists on the games, some cheeky remarks and enough cheeseballs jokes. He makes it quick and easy for newcomers. He's quite gentle on the virgins. Its made and easier and fun process because of all the lube available. The gift bags they offer as prizes are worth winning. Lots of cool schwag. The movies alone are worth winning. All first run movies, most in Blu Ray... not crap DVD from the Target bin. I'd venture to say, if I were culminating one of those 'must do in LA' lists, I would put Legendary Bingo @ Hamburger Mary's on that list! p.s. if you stay for bingo... you gotta stay for the burlesque show afterwards. http://www.yelp.com/biz/follies-burgere-hamburger-marys-west-hollywood#hrid:YmWEyqUnUgnIIxQ6YAtEvw Props to Katrina M. and her booty for organizing the UYE that popped my drag queen - bingo cherry. read more

My Name is Jessica and I'm addicted to Legendary Bingo... Hi Jess... After last week's UYE from the lovely Jessica A, I had to come back again, so I met up with my former yelper friend Carol C here last night for Wednesday Night's Legendary Bingo for the 7pm game. I was a little early so I decided to buy our sets of bingo and set myself up with a drink before carol showed up, in a matter of seconds some guy , hot but rude came up to me and asked if I was seated here? and I was no.., with his diva attitude he was honey we have a hostess, I was okay! whom? He pointed out the same lady that saw me walk in, walk pass her and sit myself down..just for her to move me two sections to the side..silly yes, but whatever. I was curious to how different it would be from the 9pm game and which celebrity would be there this time.. some actress from the show Flash forward- never seen it and she wasn't too perky.. even Ms. Madison sort of put her in her place a few times... anyways there is no difference from attending the 7pm game or 9pm game, It was a packed house.. great giveaways.. we had the "Hamburger Handbag appetizer', a few of those double shots cocktails for $2.00 extra and started the evening. This time around we had hostess Bridget of Madison County and she was freaken funny.. carol and I could not stop laughing, Since I'm still new to lingo and carol being a drag queen bingo virgin no more she caught on quickly and was yelling right along and pelting the winners..Once again I didn't get a chance to yell BINGO.. I was close to winning with the rim job and blackout..( It's On! ), but I did however win the raffle prize to go see a musical play at the Reprise Theater Company which I look forward to attending next Friday.... We will be returning with her husband and my bf very soon.. Like I said before it's too much fun not to come weekly. read more

Legendary Bingo - Just for $2.00 extra.. - Bingo Halls Near Me - West Hollywood, California

The only thing that would've made this MORE fun is if me or one of my friend's would've won some $$ but that aside, I have to say this was a flipping blast!! I also LOVE that the money goes to charity.. how can you not play?! The night I was there it was going to the local animal shelter which was awesome! I also love that the prizes come from the charities and have a theme. They had some GREAT prizes too! The vibe is a blast, the food is yummy and the drag queens are everyone's BFF for the night! What more can you ask for? ;-) PS Parking attached for a fee or the meters on SaMo Blvd are free after 6 -- we had no problem finding one about a block down. Neighborhood is all permit though so don't even bother looking there. read more

Meh, is my underwhelmed reaction, my host wasn't so great and no special guests of note. Really expensive, I'd prefer cheaper and more rounds, reduced prizes or a student option. Alternatively, a better explanation of the charity involved would help justify the expense. Had a rude waiter and generally didn't enjoy my time here for the money. read more

Something else I've always, always wanted to do but have been kept away by fate! Thank goodness for awesome, fun-loving yelpers for putting together a UYE on Sunday evening so that I finally had a chance to experience this drag bingo madness. The first thing that you notice when you walk in the door is that everyone is in a great mood and ready to have some raunchy fun. From the hosts to the ladies collecting money for charity for AIDS project LA, to the servers to the hosts, everyone is hilarious and sweet. I love the idea of playing bingo while drinking because it's something to do as a group and everyone really gets into it! I love the little traditions they have, like pelting the bingo winners - I actually really loved that one because I started getting pretty bitter that I wasn't winning and a little violence against the lucky ones really helped me blow some steam off. Also, what's not to love about $5 martinis? My extra dirty was perfectly filthy and lasted me a looong time. I later ordered a round of shots that were humongous but a bit watered down, but hey, they still did the trick. The only thing that could have made the situation more indulgent was some fried mac and cheese balls and yes, we went there. Dipped in ranch and perfectly crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside, I felt very dirty in a good way eating them. One thing I would definitely recommend is that you bring plenty of cash if you are in a big group. They ended up giving us our tab by table, but it was still a lot of people and they weren't able to split tabs. They do have an ATM there, but I managed to take the last $20 out of it and I still needed more. So bring the bills and remember what you ordered so you don't cheat your buddies!! read more

Before Tupac was a gangsta, livin all "thug life" it was rumored that he dabbled in the "drag life" and played Bingo at Hamburger Marys, but I can't blame a brotha because, as well all know, there simply "Ain't nuthin' like a drag queen party" So God Bless Tupac and God Bless Hamburger Marys because Bingo has never been so much fun. Hell, while I'm at it I also want to give one more God Bless to the (wo)man who thought, "Oh my god, we should totally do a drag queen bingo on Wednesday nights! You know like a charity type of game, where we give away some really cool prizes, pass out a few sex kits filled with condoms and lube, and show everyone how much fun it is to play Bingo Weho style." So to Mary or whoever you are that thought of this "legendary" idea, I hold my glass up high and say "Bingo at Hamburger Mary's is quite a unique experience. You're energy and excitement is infectious and makes a straight man want to take a few zig zags! Bingo will never be the same again!" So if you've never experienced Bingo at Hamburger Mary's I would highly recommend that you get you ass there next Wednesday. Its raunchy, its fun, and the shwag that this place hands out for prizes are insane! For $20 you get 10 games of bingo and the chance to win weekend getaways, hotel stays, dinner packages, dolls, porn, lube, and all sorts of naughty tidbits Honestly, the price packages alone are worth it and will have you itching to scream BINGO, and even if you don't win one of the amazing vacation packages, you can sleep well at night knowing that you did your part in supporting a good cause. So next time you're sitting at home on a Wednesday night grab a few friends, and head over to Hamburger Marys for a night full of unexpected laugh out loud fun! read more

BINGO!!!! Actually, I didn't get to say bingo but i was so close! I came here on a Sunday with fellow yelpers and had a blast! I thought this would be a simple game of bingo but i was wrong, this is a wild game of bingo lol. Everyone is amped to play, the announcers (drag queen) make things interesting and fun. I dare you to call out bingo even if you don't have it hehehe. I think everyone is eager to play because they all want to win the magnificent prizes that are offered! Its not one prize but a package of prizes that can include DVDs, restaurant gift certificates, itunes gift card, signed posters etc... It costs $20. Actually i think its a recommended donation but still, and your given about 6 bingo cards (i can't recall). Best of all this place is ALL AGES! It's not recommended for young children and prude people but if your cool with it then come on down and be ready to have a great time!! oh! oh! oh!! and the winner has to run around the whole place and everyone gets to crumple up their bingo cards and throw it at the winner as he/she runs around! Doesn't that sound like fun! and with that be sure to give this place a try! Wednesday and Sundays 7PM!!! read more

I was hoping to win something. I did not. I was almost tempted to yell out a false bingo just so that sexy she'man could spank me. I got shy. I wish I had just overcome that feeling and had him bend me over and put that paddle to use. Its been so long since I had been spanked properly. Bingo was fun. Under the table, I enjoyed rubbing my knee against Jin's knee. I don't think he paid it any mind but I was totally getting fresh with him. He's over 6' and I'm not far from it so it was meant to be. Oh well, l just sneaked a few sips from his beverage when he checked out the trannies. Judging from his facial expression - Jin was totally getting moist. hahaaha Sucka. I ordered a margarita. I was told they were $5. The receipt said $15. To hell with it - take my money - no worries, I stay hood rich. There was a sample platter with all sorts of chit. I tried the calamari and some kind of shrimp fried goodness. Besides it being more salty than I would have liked, it was whatever, its alcohol food. Our waiter/server was nice. He made sure we were taken care of. Came to us several times to make sure we were all ok. He gets a 10. This event was so fun. Thanks, Katrina. read more

Nowadays it takes a lot for me to be inspired to write a review, but after coming to Legendary Bingo at Hamburger Mary's, inspiration came in many forms. I mean where else can you pelt people with paper, talk about rim jobs, look at fake boobs (and I'm not talking about silicone), pay $20 that all goes to charity and have a chance to win some sweet prizes. Drink specials are flowing, food tasted great and service was fast and friendly. I came on a Sunday night so it wasn't too crowded even with coming with a large group ... it was definitely, wait for it ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o63cxb-5DH0 Bingo and Drag Queens was yeah, you guessed it. Legendary. read more

I cannot remember the last time I've had so much fun for an evening! I came here with 6 of my girlfriends last night for Drag Bingo (I won!) followed by the Tranny Burlesque show. Here is what you need to know: - Bingo is Wednesday (7pm and 9pm) and Sunday (7pm followed by Tranny Burlesque show), costs $20 for about 8 games (benefits a charity), winners get prizes (think brunch certificates, champagne baskets, etc.), and audience participation is a must (winners run through the restaurant, false bingo callers get a spanked with a paddle, and jovial cheers/word puns are numerous). - DEFINITELY come on Sunday - because the Burlesque show was utterly fantastic and the best part of the evening. These gals are fabulous entertainers and their costumes are amazing. - Service is slow. Get a big fat drink because you aren't going to see your waiter around for a while once he delivers the first round. Expect this, relax and enjoy Bing-O. It is crazy entertaining without libations. - It gets crowded. Make a reservation and show up ON TIME. We arrived 10 minutes late and they had given away our table! Luckily, we were able to squeeze into a vacant one near the stage. - The bathroom has a disco ball. Yes. A DISCO ball. Party while you pee! - They serve deep fried macaroni and cheese balls. What else can you possibly ask for during a girls night out? - And finally (it's silly to even have to mention this, but...) for goodness sake come with an open mind! Yes there will raunchy humor, of course it's going to be loud, obviously the patrons are going to be riled up...honestly if any of this bothers you why the heck did you agree to go to Drag Bing-o in the first place? read more

God bless Drag Queens. They should automatically get a pass on all egregious sins they may have committed and earn their wings for the joy they bring those of us with less ambition in the world. Belle Aire, you're a dirty filthy b***h, but dear god girl I love you! And there would be no Legendary Bingo ($20) without her and Jefferey. Their chants of "pelt her, pelt her" each round I lost - and some other cock-eyed hooker won - was just the cheap therapy I needed to move on. Shout out to Jenna at the front for being the consummate hostess and putting up with the rowdy Yelp crew. And trust me kiddies... you want to win. The shwag bags for the victors were legit. Sure, none of the lesbians at our table will ever use the man porn, but those dinner reservations and follow up sex kit were totally awesome. Snacks and cocktails are a requirement anywhere I go, and I could have used just a weenie bit more from Hamburger Mary's on this one, but I will not dock Legendary Bingo for any issues I have with the restaurant. My $15 Strawberry Burst, while utterly delicious, was deplorably weak for a double. I know this is West Hollywood, but would a splash more vodka hurt you boys? My half order of fried mac & cheese balls was every bit of stupid decadence one should expect from taking the fat bomb known as mac & cheese and deciding to fry it. Freakin' brilliant. Price: $7 plus an additional hour on the elliptical tomorrow. Lots of lube, Lots of rude, raunchy humor. Lots of fun. Now go and be gay, all of you! read more

Why didn't I do this sooner? Here's a rundown of how this goes. -Pay suggested donation of $20 at door, find out what the charity of the day is and pick up your bingo cards and blotters (unless you're a bingo nerd like me and brought your own blotters) -Host will find your party seating -Bingo will start (Note: The Game is played loudly) and is usually hosted by a drag queen -Games are announced (each round is something different), Balls are called with some having callbacks for you to shout out like "Not after, but B-4 or Not malignant, but B-9! -When someone wins, they go up and get their card verified. If they are a winner they get a prize then have to run around the restaurant while all the losers pelt him/her with balled up loser bingo cards. FUNNEST PART -Between games they auction stuff off for charity so buy something! -In the case of a tie, the tiebreaker is drawing bingo balls and highest # puller wins. The loser gets to grab something from the "bag of crap". -At the end of the bingo if you were there for the first seating and you're not staying for the second seating you should get the F out so the people there for the next seating can get in. read more

You may have played BINGO in the past, but you've never played it like this. That is to say playing it loudly. Hamburger Mary's has some seriously exciting and interesting times waiting for you if you dare come in for their legendary BINGO nights. You don't have to live an alternative lifestyle to enjoy some absurdity that is drag queens. Let alone drag queens running what has to be the best bingo game around. Drinks will be flowing, the crowds will be getting rowdy and truth be told, I think it's probably a whole lot better that you don't win at this game. Since in the end, the losers end up having far more fun. Oh yeah, and their bathroom is probably the most disturbing and spectacular thing that has ever been constructed. I won't ruin it for you but it's pretty surreal. The whole concept is drag queens doing bingo to the extreme. Simple as that, but a night you will probably never forget. Unless you've been drinking a whole lot... yeah, that could happen easily here. read more

BINGO! How do we play it? LOUDLY!!! That is the reigning shout of Legendary Bingo Night at Hamburger Mary's. Situated in WeHo Hamburger Mary's hosts raucous bingo nights that anyone with an open mind and eagerness to have fun will surely enjoy. What I like about this place is that no one pressures you to play bingo or even buy drinks. But I do both anyway, because the bingo supports a different charity every night they run it, with all donated prizes and raffles that also go to the night's chosen charity to support groups around the area. If you join their mailing list, every week they send out coupons for 2 for 1 cards. So it's like half off if you select to split the cards with someone else, but I always like the challenge of managing two cards at once. And it requires focus, because each card has 3 bingo boxes... so essentially you have to focus to track 6 boxes for each number they call. And they go quickly! And given the locale and patrons, this ain't no plain jane bingo, this is Drag Queen bingo! False bingo calls? You are getting spanked! Even if you win you have to run around the place while everyone screams PELT HER! PELT HER! or PELT HIM! PELT HIM! as everyone throws their useless bingo cards at them as they collect an amazing prize. And each prize is worth a lot, probably the cost of a couple bingo cards so even if you don't often, I bet once you do win it would be worth it. You also get grand prize bingo cards, which you have to fill up completely. The room usually hushes amid all the hype because the grand prize is usually worth several hundred dollars and sometimes are even exclusive. Weekend getaways, $100 Apple giftcards, complete seasons of DVDs, high class dinners, concert tickets, etc. Now enough about the prizes, the whole experience is a blast in itself. The bingo callers are very fun and to mix it up certain letter-numbers have a "call" associated to them. So if they call something like 69, of course everyone is gonna get loud and cheer. Sometimes there are even celebrity guests. But what I love the most? The joyous atmosphere and cheerful mood. Supporting charity, awesome entertainment, fun environment, so even if you are thinking about attending, you should definitely head on out~! read more

One thing to keep in mind...this is a review about LEGENDARY BINGO...not Hamburger Marys! Reviewers should leave their opinions about the food on the HM Yelp page...cuz I'm sure the hosts are not in the kitchen, cookin' up the meals, before they go back stage to apply their make up, throw on their wigs, slip into their spanks, tuck their junk and host a show! This is about the game, formerly for seniors, called LEGENDARY BINGO! If you are looking for a fun, hilarious and slightly competitive good time with your friends (or people you call friends who you say "i love you, gurl" to all the damn time) and family, then this a great Sunday FUNDAY! We had our 16 year old nephew and my 75 year old mother-in-law with us, and we had a BLAST; plain and simple. My advice....go there with an open mind, a sense of humor, and a recuperated liver (the OMG size drinks are UH-MAZING!) and you are sure to have a good time! Yes it's loud....Yes it can be obnoxious....and YES...there is a good chance you will be read! Hheeeellllllooooo.....IT'S DRAG QUEEN BINGO....if you want quiet, go to a library. If you want FUN....go to LEGENDARY BINGO! And remember...the proceeds go to good causes....so give back while you have blast! What's the name of the game?....BINGO! How do we play it?....LOUDLY! read more

UHHHHHHHH-MAZING! Went for the Wednesday night Bingo with a group of 5 friends...didn't have a reservation but went at around 6:30pm for the 7pm Bingo and they were able to find us a booth without a problem (though reservations are definitely preferred...and likely required for the 9pm Bingo because the line was down the block!) I would not suggest getting food (it wasn't that spectacular for the price) save your $$ for the $20 donation (to Bingo for a charity) and then just order a drink or two...I'll tell you the drinks look expensive at first but they are large and heavy-handed! You definitely won't be disappointed! It was hilarious! You must experience it at least once! read more

It's not Bingo until you get smacked on your ass by a gorgeous drag queen named Belle Aire! Well at least that's how it worked for me when I thought I had won the current round of Bingo and was in fact very, very mistaken. Legendary Bingo at Hamburger Mary's has got to be one of the BEST ways to do a good deed. You pay 20 dollars to play the funnest 10 rounds of bingo you have EVER played and all the money goes to the group or charity that they are sponsoring that night. But Beware! There are some very competitive people that come to this event (aka: our table) and if you win, you will run around the restaurant all while being "pelted" by the losers with their crushed up (losing) Bingo cards. The pelting however, is totally worth it! You get awesome gifts! I can attest to this as I actually did end up winning last night and went home with a bag full of beauty products, soaps, t-shirts, condoms and a In-Home Makeover! Sadly though, there was no porn in my bag (many of the other prizes included porn)... Other perks include the celebrity announcers that sometimes show up. Last night Louis from Dancing with the Stars was there. And man is he ever so yummy! I am definitely looking forward to going back to Bingo soon! Did someone say G-54? "Ooo! Oooo! " read more

um, this is PEE-YOUR-PANTS-FUN. just go. there's no describing the experience. do not yell BINGO unless you are effin sure you actually have bingo, or you will regret it. or maybe you won't, depending on what you're into. which is spanking. seriously. went with 8 other friends and it really was just a great night of wholesome drag-queen spanking bingo fun. it's only $20 for 8, 9, 10 rounds? i can't remember how many but the rounds are all different from one another. (i almost won the "frank and beans" round.) there are GREAT gifts if you do win. typical greasy bar food - don't expect anything fancy. service can be slow b/c bingo nights are packed and busy. drinks are LA-priced so pre-game somewhere else. besides, you're there for the bingo - everything else is a distraction. read more

Eager to try something different and fun, I was super excited to try bingo at Hamburger Mary's and dragged (ha! No pun intended) my friend out to try it with me. I must say it wasn't as much fun as was promised in these yelp reviews! I think most of the problems stemmed from where we were sitting. Originally, the host sat us at the bar but adamant on sitting at a table, we opted for a two top on the patio. We were told that we'd be able to play along perfectly fine from there but that was not the case. We could barely hear the announcer and they made NO effort to make sure we could hear them. I mean, not once did they even turn their heads in our direction and say a number. Quickly we realized that we were the only table on the patio playing bingo which made listening to the numbers even harder since we had to strain to hear over everyone else's conversation. Not only could we not hear the numbers, but we couldn't hear what game we were playing which made it even harder to follow. If i ever go again, ill be sure to get there at least 30 mins before game time and snag a table inside. This wouldn't have been such a big deal if I hadn't paid $20 to get in the door. It's cool that it goes to charity, but hell, I'm pretty close to a charity case myself these days and need to be very discerning about where my money goes. read more

I love me my lesbian friends and it's because they take me to the neatest events! And places, and scenes... It all started when my sister came out of the closet and took me to all the hotspots in WeHo. Especially the infamous "Truckstop" @ Here (and the rest I forget but they were ALL super fun! Crap, I just unfurled my secret life of a closet lesbian. I blame it on legs and boobs, mostly legs) Especially when you need a change of pace from the meatlockers of the straight scene. "Hey guy, easy there... She came to me. But she'll come on me later if you wanna videotape." (taking off testosterone hat and putting my review hat on...) If there are two words that need to be said about the last event, it's "Delilah DeMilo" . http://farm1.static.flickr.com/104/306767705_b88af1d441.jpg Now that you've seen it, click on the link again... Isn't it better the second time around? Sure, make it your desktop screensaver. Beth R. and I carpooled to this event and damn rt I was gonna make her go because Erin V. said she was reaching for her flake card. "We don't honor that here young lady... Especially after since all the talk of breaking you in at a HMary's" plbl. Oh look, the "review food button" (press)... We tried the buffalo chicken wrap and mac&cheeseburger. It was good. Pretty darn good. Washed it down with my "recent frequent" Stella. Met some cool new Yelpers and saw some recent friends :) "Where we gonna go after this? Karaoke?" I said, "I don't sing..." FAMOUS LAST WORDS.... (PS: PLBL is the fob alter-ego of LMFAO = Putangina Laffing Berry Lowd! Catch da aksent?) read more

This review is just for the bingo portion! We had Bingo Girl Roxy come to a private party to do a few rounds of Bingo. A friend told me how it was at Hamburger Mary 's. She knew all the crowd replies. For example, B2 is supposed to sound like achoo to which you say bless you! We weren't paying attention so apparently they change up what card wins (only vertical, only horizontal, only corners, or regular bingo where you can also get diagonals). So my friend got a diagonal and turns to me and says, "isn't this bingo? Doesn't this count as a win?" To which I reply, yes ! So she yells bingo and runs up excitedly and is horrified when Roxy says that she has falsely called bingo!!! She's about to get spanked with a paddle in front of everyone.... And I feel so bad for her and partially responsible!!!! Luckily for her, another friend took the spanking for her and it sounded pretty loud and pretty painful! So if you are playing, make sure you pay attention to what constitutes an actual win! read more

Bingo = effing amazing. Restaurant/service = piss poor. Like many others have written, come here for the charity bingo, led by amazingly fabulous drag queens. Worth the $20 for sure. However, prepare yourself for rude waiters, slow (ok, nonexistent at times) service, and a check that usually has one or two mistakes on it. That being said ... pre-game and you'll have a marvelous time! read more

Clearly we do bingo a little differently in the South. It's the same game, but played (and paid) differently. Maybe I take it a little too seriously, but I thought there were cash prizes. We might not be able to buy packaged liquor on Sunday, but bingo pays cash... and it's legal. Honestly, I don't know why I didn't have a better time. My friend Chad introduced me to Willam Belli, the mistress of ceremonies. Willam is very entertaining and this was my first time seeing her in action aside of "The Vagina Song." Seeing Chad was great. My new Aussie friend Josh came too. I think maybe the lack of others was part of what pissed me off (*ahem* Bianca W.) and I can't really blame that on bingo, but I digress... Anyway... There are two games and we went to the first one that started at 7:00 PM. It's $20 and the game seems to last forever. I ended up giving away some of my cards because I was ready to leave before it was over. I don't think there was any conspiracy, but I thought it was weird that all women were winning. Yes, during gay bingo! Oh well, they probably have more use for a basket full of dildos than I do. #Yelp365 - 39/365 read more

Sunday night bingo for my birthday with 8 friends was so much fun. We made a reservation, which i highly reccommend for a large group. It was packed! $20 to play like 8 rounds - I lost count. So much fun and so competitve! so of course i had a false bingo and I got spanked...then on the next call I WON! Drinks were not that great and they gave us HOT glasses for out cold beer...but whatever! I will def be back. read more

My friend took me here as a surprise. Seriously, one of the best times I've ever had in my life. I accidentally called a fake bingo and got paddled, sweet! The trannies are loud and proud and totally over it, I love them. The fact that local weatherman Dallas Raines was there the night I was there was freaking awesome. read more

This is the best thing ever! I will recommend this to EVERYONE. The prizes are legit, $20 to play like 8 cards and it all goes to charity. The drinks were good and large. I came for my birthday and called a month in advance to make sure they could accommodate my party of 20. A group ended up stealing a table since my friends were running late but it all worked out. We stayed for Mary-Aoke which is also AWESOME. $50 prize winner hosted by the soul sisters. Only con is that is is a long wait to get drinks and food but who cares win your pelting winners. read more

I came to check out this "legendary bingo", which was incredibly fun! Besides, the proceeds are helping fund local schools. The celebrity guest was the actress Annabelle Gish (sp?), I'm not familiar with her acting career, but she was sweet. The drinks and food were pretty good for a gay bar (sorry homos!), and the host, Porsha Hayy, was a riot! I was sitting alone but I still had a blast, and I felt for a minute like I was part of the community. I hope I get to come back someday! read more
