My friends and I LOVE a bit of unofficial bingo. By unofficial I mean travel bingo on the plane…read morewhen we go on holiday or bingo at the end of a pub quiz where the prize is a tenner. However we thought we would have a go at hardcore bingo and as such ended up at Mecca Bingo at the Springfield Quay. First of all we all had to become members by registering through the website, and then it was a torturous wait until our welcome letters and membership cards were delivered! It was the longest 5 to 7 days of my life! On our first night there we parked in our "members only" parking spaces and entered the hug foyer and sort of hung about wondering what we were supposed to do next. Eventually we tagged along behind a group of blue rinse wonders and copied what they did. they asked for bingo sheets with elaborate names in what sounded like another language and we just said, "Umm same as them please." When we got into the bingo hall itself it was massive with tables which sat groups of four dotted around the bingo caller who was on a huge podium in the centre of the room. It was remarkably high tech with big screens flasging up the numbers as they were called. There was also a bar (thank God) and you can buy pub type snacks like crisps and peanuts. We stood out like sore thumbs and had "newcomers" written all over us. We didin't have a clue what sheet we were supposed to be on and whether we were playing for a line or a house or whatever the other options are! We kept on getting shushed for talking; these ladies take their bingo very seriously! I can understand why though as there was usually hundreds or even thousands of pounds up for grabs during most games, or is it rounds, who knows? It was an interesting experience but out membership has long since been cancelled and we have stuck to the unofficial bingo ever since. We were mega disappointed that no one actually shouted bingo just "HERE!" or "ARRGG!" and the caller didn't do any of the cheesy chat that is the best part of bingo. You know like, "Two little ducks, 22, quack quack." and all that stuff.

Never thought I would see the day I was writing a review on the Mecca Bingo at the Quay...but here…read morewe are, haha! I'm not ashamed to admit it (or maybe a little) but I don't mind the odd bingo night with my friends! Long gone are the days of the blue rinse brigade calling the shots in these clubs;it's definitely appealing to a younger audience and I think this club reflects that. Could I go constantly? Nope, I'd be bored to death. But once a month catching up with friends, I have no problem with. I'll let you know if we ever win anything decent..haha! This hall is large and holds a lot of people. The Q Bar is upstairs which is a nice area to sit, have a drink (they don't have the best cocktail menu but all the alcoholic drinks are well priced) and just chat whilst you play. You can also order food in the hall (again, reasonably priced) and I can confirm that it's not half bad...not the best meal you'll ever have but on par with Wetherspoons. So yeah...you play bingo (shock horror!). Actually, the games don't run on that long and there are a lot of intervals which gives my friend and I time to catch up. We go for the social aspect and it works well for a mid week catch up. There are plenty of toilets and everything is clean/tidy. The staff are pretty nice too and happy to help where they can. They try telling the odd joke...and fail miserably. Overall, it's a nice evening out and we always have a giggle!

I've always been a little apprehensive about entering the doors of the Opry as I used to work round the corner from it and I know exactly what the other bars are like round there. Well The Old Toll Bar's alright during the day/early evening/during the week. Anyhoo I had seen the posters for line dancing outside and I do love trying new dance styles, bollywood my favourite at the moment, but line dancing. Hmmm?! I think you know it's gonna be for the older person as it's let say a more gentle kind of dance and you're stuck in a line. Well you may ask how on earth did I end up here with my angst of line dancing? My mate had invited me to see a band called the Bad Bad Men and bad in the slightest they were not I'll have you know. As soon as I walked into the Opry I thought I had walked into a Texas social club airport. It's such a strange layout of seats that remind me of an airport but with other seating that reminds me of a local social club. Well there was plenty of rootin tootin guys and gals dressed to impress with the whole country and western thing happening but you don't get the feeling of "darn I should have made the effort and slipped on my spurs and holster before I left the house". Although with the gun slinging classes that were advertised along with line dancing and bands made it tempting to get the old holster out, that's if I had one of course, well I do but it's pink and plastic. That count?! It was a great night out with great friends and bands, one from Canada called Silver Creek and a lassie from out that way too called Sarah McClurg. I had a super night and I wasn't even drinking as I had the car. Drinks were very very reasonable priced, guess who's leaving the car next time?! I'm definitely up for a proper night out here as they even have a bit upstairs that sells food. Oh yeah!!!!! Sold!

Ok so i really want to start this review with some terrible cowboy/western style comments......and…read moreso i will!! Yeeeeeeeee Haaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!! Grab your rootin tootin ten gallon hat, yur bestest gal, saddle up your finest steed and mosey on down to the finest waterin' hole this side of the Mc Graw's Gulch!!! Confused, you will be. This place is an institution. A place where those of the cowboy shirt/boot/hat/holster(yes you heard, holster) wearing minority of Glasgow can frequent and square dance the night away with there dearly beloved, latest squeeze or even their posse of mean hombres. An institution in Glasgow running for over 30 years, the Opry offers the afore mentioned cowboys and cowgirls the chance to dance their chaps off in a welcoming, if slightly community/bingo hall esque setting. Along side the obligatory line dancing sessions, there trots a wild west "shoot out" competition with regular gun slingers shooting it out for the weekly kudos. Add to this a healthy shot of live music, mixed crowds, eclectic outfits ('coon skin hats, floral shirts, chaps, holsters, ten gallon hats, horses...actually no), roomy dance floor to strut your stuff and a bar with stupidly reasonable prices and you have yourself the mixin for a wild, wild night. Ok, so the area around the place isn't the most welcoming. When arriving it feels a bit like stepping into the Alamo, which kind of adds to the feel of the place to be honest, but once you get in and get into it, its a fine, fine night.

For many moons my friends and I have lusted after the bingo dream... Oh, to feel the buzz of those…read morenumbers being called out in monotone barely giving you time to find them in your card. Oh, to have the opportunity to use those circle bingo pens sportingly... My friend finally lived the dream one birthday, and coaxed us all down to this Bingo Hall. The place is MASSIVE. It feels like an airy warehouse more than a gambling establishment. We got heavy funny looks from the regulars, and many comments about our age and appearence being shouted out from nearby four seater booths. However, this treatment stopped after I asked for help for me, a bingo virgin, from a lady sharing our table, and we were immediately welcomed into the fold. Even being celebrated when I then won on my first card! Oh, the excitement! The community feel of the place is strong, with the number callers talking often directly to folk in the audience, and it even has an in house bar and take-away, in case you fancy a gin and tonic and chips. Okay, so it lacks class... but if you're looking to see some real Glasgow in the West End, or looking for cheap thrills, you'll find them both here. Def worth a visit.

When my boyfriend and I stopped off at Vegas on our backpacking trip round America, we had no idea how to gamble and didn't have much money to do it. Thankfully our hotel had a bingo hall (that's Vegas for you) so we spent most of our time in there. My friends and I visited this Bingo in Partick on a night out. It was exactly what we expected; the average age of the clientele was around 75, the decor hadn't changed in around 30 years and the cafe only sold burger and chips. But why can't people over a certain age have a social life? This particular Carlton branch is an important part of the Partick community; when it was under threat from property developers, customers staged an uprising, stating there was no way they were willing to give this bingo up. The property suits were forced to build their yuppie flats around the bingo where it remains, surrounded by the yuppie property as locals wander outside for a fag.
