    If you're a newbie like me (to a bingo hall, not bingo itself), I recommend going at least 25-30 minutes early to learn how things work and determine if you want to add extra options, like flash games, etc. (more opportunities to win big). We arrived about 15 minutes before start time, but with parking being difficult (the lot was quite full) and having to wait in a short line for buy in, we didn't sit down till a few minutes before start time. And being given a large stack of bingo sheets/cards, didn't know what to do. Luckily the guy next to us was a regular and helped us out. Once they start, they go fast, and if you miss something or don't call out bingo quickly enough, you're out of luck. We got the minimum package on a Sunday evening ($80 per person, for two of us). Each sheet had 5 bingo sets on it (numbers only, no letters), and you play several sheets at a time, so yeah, you gotta pay attention and be quick to mark your cards. Luckily there are large clear screens where you can see the numbers called during each game until it's reset for the next game, but still you gotta be quick so I wouldn't rely on that to play catch up. To win, you need to get a bingo (3 in a row) for all 5 sets on one sheet before calling out "bingo", unless there are different instructions for a specific game. When we went, there were about 10-12 games throughout the night (more if you purchased extra), hence the stack of cards in the beginning, and it lasted about 3 hours including an 8 minute intermission. We didn't win, but it was fun (once we got the hang of it). The place had a casual atmosphere, older crowd (we were probably the youngest people there), everyone seemed to be friendly enough, mainly just minding their own business, and lots of hardcore bingo-ers! There were restrooms, coffee, and vending machines on site. The service was efficient, we didn't encounter any problems with staff, and there were plenty of workers/volunteers walking around during the games selling extra cards. If you want a chance to win some extra cash, this is a fun way to do it, and if you don't win, at least you know your money is going to charity. Also, gotta love the colorful themed bingo cards (ie. Betty Boop, and Popeye the Sailor).

    Dat Flash Bonus tho lol

    Issa Vibe, especially when you win! Even tho there's more losses than wins we still have fun, you just gotta know when to take a break and regroup! Just have fun and don't chase like me! Haha

    Strip night on Sunday

    The seats here are the most comfy out of all the bingo halls. Check back daily and buy in in the app as they have lots of specials. They tons of flash and strips. Good luck

    Bring snacks and water is provided if needed

    Came here tonight to play Bingo in the car but it turns out they opened up for indoor as well so we played inside! Each buy in costs $80 for games 1-15 with fun names like Wonder Woman and Raz Ma Taz! You can also buy separate pregames that run ahead of the standard bingo games. Also pull tags can be in a pack of 20 for $20 or inside for $1 per pull tabs. Covid guidelines followed with everyone masked and staying 6 feet apart. If it's your first time, try to sit nearby those who are regulars. Most people were very helpful to us being newbies. Cash prizes range from $100 to almost $2400. But get here early so some cards do not sell out. Oh and donations go to the Milpitas Rotary Club :)

    This place was so much fun! I will be back again. Make sure if your new..to let the staff know when you buy in ...they can let you know about the extra games. Like the warm ups and flash paper. I didn't know when I came today....and I had a hard time buying these specials after I came In so early at 3pm. I was told at 5pm I would have to stand back in a very long line. Luckily I was able to buy on the floor at the last minute. They play plenty of flash and today we played strips for 2500$. I won and instant on a flash game tonight and this was my first time playing there. Most people were very friendly around me and helpful. But of course there is always that one person with a bad attitude. Ignore it and keep positive. Your suppose to have fun at bingo and I definitely had fun here. The volunteers are so friendly and nice. That's what made this bingo hall so much fun. And Yes I could hear the caller perfectly.....unlike my other fav place Aquamaids

Game play is just as intense and exciting as the charity bingo hall around the corner, fast paced, strict policies (better be quick to yell out bingo if you win!), lots of opportunities for cash prizes, friendly helpful people all around, and about 3-4 hours of bingo fun! Though the payouts are lower at St. John's ($100 payouts for early bird games, $200 payouts for regular games, plus $50 increase per game on the last Monday of the month), the buy-in is lower as well. As of July 2024, buy-in is $25, then $5 per game set after that. Each set (one pack) has 15 bingo sheets consisting of 5 early bird games and 10 regular games. Each sheet in the set has 6 bingo boards. The bingo games have quite a range of patterns throughout the evening in order to win, like "small crazy kite" or "postage stamps", and who knew that hitting all four corners on the board counts as a bingo!?! Thank goodness they also provide an easy-to-follow instruction sheet, so you know what you're playing and you don't miss anything, since the game goes quickly. Workers/volunteers also walk around selling flash, strip, cherry bell, and other special games. We got a few flash cards (kinda like scratchers, but cheaper with lower winnings)... won a buck total from 10 cards, lol. A food truck on site allows participants to enjoy some dinner or snacks while playing. We grabbed a couple tacos from the mexican food truck outside during one of the breaks, and it was pretty good. The event is open to ages 18 and over, though the crowd looks like mainly 50 and older. Even being some of the youngest players there, we fit in just fine and had a pleasant time at bingo night... will be back to win more than a dollar next time.

    Dialogue excerpt: Me: I'm so excited to play Bingo tonight!…read moreManuel M.: You're just excited to play bingo, because of the prospect a bunch of old men being at the same place. Me: Touché, my friend. But maybe true. +2 points for you. But beyond that candor, bingo has a special place in my heart. My mother and I don't do anything together much anymore, and when I was 15 - she introduced me to bingo. This was the first place we went. And today, after a horrendous day in the office, coupled with a horrendous current outlook on life - I decided, bingo was needed. And thank god, it was Monday - because every Monday, the Italian Men's Club does bingo. So first of all, they have some really good Italian food here. And it's cheap. I'm down for spaghetti, almost all the time... especially, if it's good. The facilities are not great, but the experience is great. I wouldn't recommend doing 4 regular bingo cards at a time, because I got tired. Buy-in is $15 minimum, usually the night starts at 6pm with early bird, dinner is served starting at 5, and the regular games start at 6:45. The people that go here are odd at worse, and usually nice at best. So after a day of wanting to stab myself in the ear with a pencil at the office, I tried doing numbers with a cute pink dabber instead. Judge me, that's fine. Was that last number, O69, people?

    I am not an experienced Bingo player at all. Mostly because I've never won. I mean, how…read moreexperienced can I be, if I've never used my "BINGO!" yell? That's besides the point. Bingo here is great. It's a $15 minimum buy in--that gets you two booklets (about 10-15 games), and a $1.25 for your own stamper. I mean, dabber. I mean, those things that you mark your sheet with as they announce B-5. Note--if you're confused at all during any of the games--feel free to ask one of the 'regulars.' You can tell who they are by all their bingo paraphernalia. Just don't ask them when a game is in play.

I went to the Canada vs. South Africa game on a Sunday, so the vibes and crowds were very chill and not too crowded at all. There was plenty of room on the street, and I also liked how there were so many other areas and screens inside the market and also in their patio, so you're not just limited to the street outside. Really cool that you can get drinks to go and enjoy them outside. The flow can be a bit confusing though, there's certain sidewalks and ramps you need to take to get to certain restaurants and buildings. You also can't take outside food into the Market itself (including drinks). Will definitely try to go back for more games before this ends for good!

    2026 WORLD CUP WATCH PARTY "TAKE ME HOME, COUNTRY ROADS"…read more Whenever there was a World Cup I would go to pubs to drink, eat, and watch. Since the USA was co-hosting the 2026 World Cup along with Mexico and Canada I wanted to see if there was a World Cup watch party worth going to. San Jose is the perfect city in the Bay Area to watch the World Cup as the Earthquakes play there. After searching on the web, San Jose Earthquakes were hosting World Cup watch parties at San Pedro Square Market. The first game I attend for the World Cup watch party was USA-Paraguay. I have a stake on this game. I bought three games at Levi's Stadium for the World Cup including the Round of 32 with the first-place winner of Group D, which USA is in. I waited in anticipation for this 6:00 PM game. I was amazed to witness USA ahead 3-0 at halftime. The second half I was concerned when Paraguay scored, but at the end USA won 4-1. With this result I was 50% sure the USA would finish first in Group D. People celebrated and danced after USA won. I knew I had to come back to San Pedro Square Market. The second USA game I watched here was against Australia on Juneteenth. The day after USA beat Paraguay, Australia shockingly beat Turkey 2-0. The stage was set. USA would move to the Round of 32 if they beat Australia. At halftime USA was ahead 2-0. The game ended with that final score. I was 90% sure USA would finish first in their group. (Later that night Turkey lost to Paraguay that resulted USA finishing first in Group D.) The scenes at San Pedro Square Market were great after the USA's wins with the DJ playing hip hop songs the crowd danced to. However I want to make a request to the DJ. At Seattle after USA beat Australia John Denver's song "Take Me Home, Country Roads" was played inside the stadium with the fans singing. Please DJ to get the crowd hype for the next USA games play "Take Me Home, Country Roads". I guarantee the attendees at San Pedro Square Market will make the atmosphere the loudest World Cup watch party in the Bay Area.

    Phenomenal Asian Fusion food stall in the San Pedro Square Market.   Chicken Katsu is one of the best! Just under $20 is a bit high though.
