If you’re looking for one of the most talked-about nights in our neighborhood calendar, look no further than the beloved and infamous Bingo Karaoke. This isn’t your Granny’s bingo hall, the Senior Center transforms into a rollicking party featuring a blend of classic bingo, high-spirited karaoke, cash prizes, drinks, snacks, and fun costumes all in support of the senior programs run by the Phinney Neighborhood Association.
A long standing PhinneyWood tradition, Bingo Karaoke is such a beloved Friday-night ritual, across generations, tickets are famously fleeting, selling out in as little as 6 minutes. And for good reason, once you’re in the room, the energy is contagious. Folks decked out in themed attire cheer each other on as bingo numbers are called, and when it’s your turn at the mic, you might just find yourself belting out a favorite song between rounds.
In response to popular demand, the PNA added two more bingos to the 2026 calendar and are kicking off the year with the theme, Nowhere to Wear It. If you have something outrageous in your closet that is begging to be worn, you’re in luck as tickets are currently still available for the next Bingo Karaoke on Friday, January 30th. In honor of dry January, this month’s Bingo also features a partnership with local small business and Seattle’s only Non-Alcoholic bottle shop, Cheeky & Dry! They will be pouring some of their delicious NA options in addition to the regular bar menu. If you ever wanted to try nature’s other social lubricant kava, this is a perfect opportunity!
In addition to Bingo & karaoke, the event also features a bar with beer, wine, and other drink options, food from the Café, and range of snacks such as popcorn and cookies. Parking can be limited, but there is ample street parking nearby. Every event is themed and attendees often dress up to add to the fun and for the costume contest. Please leave the kiddos at home as this is a 21+ event.
If you missed tickets this time, don’t worry — there are more themes and dates on the calendar throughout the year. Tickets generally go on sale at 5 pm about a month before each event, but set a reminder: when they go on sale, you’ll want to be ready. Whether you’re there to win a prize, sing your heart out, or just soak up the fun, it’s one of those nights that captures the spirit of community and generosity that makes PhinneyWood special and one of those experiences that is hard to describe. You just have to see for yourself.
