Irreverent, silly, and totally worthwhile...  how often can you have this much fun, while knowing that you are truly helping others?

New location, right across from City Hall...   perfect for visitors and friends who have never been.  As with any licensed Bingo event, kids are not allowed.  Food and beverages are conveniently served nearby (and there is even a bar that helps raise money for local veterans!).

The Sisters have been entertaining, educating, fund-raising and fighting for human rights in this City for over 30 years. I think Sister bingo has lasted nearly this long and it is now better than ever. It is amazing how this "San Francisco Original" has now spread around the United States AND the globe from Australia to Uruguay. The Sisters don't discriminate; they promulgate universal joy and expiate stigmatic guilt to anyone in need. Good work Sisters!

Bingo is back! Started back up over the summer, and they've raised $17,000 for various charities since. This is a quintessentially San Francisco experience: it's traditional bingo with a Sisters twist -- that means costumes, porn door prizes, verbal abuse, witty banter, singing, bare-chested men, dauber attacks, spanking, flawless makeup, and oh-so-much more.  You *must* do this before you die.

I never stop laughing when i come here! One night I won twice and so did gal pal Sharon. I won $100 and gave some of it back to the charity for the night...I also won the door prize which consisted of some hair clips and a vibrator, oh and hello kitty note pad. I heart bingo, when will it return?

p.s. turn your cell phone off, lest the entire parish call out "beat him" and you are forced to the front for a paddling.

Bring it back!  Bring it back!
I miss Revival Bingo so damn much.  The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence put on the best damn bingo game in the world.  Even if you don't win a cent, you will hear awesome dirty jokes and scream out for gay porn until your throat is hoarse.  
This is one of the best ways to entertain yourself in the city, and, it benefits a different community cause every month.
I miss them so.....

Porn in Church? Sisters with a beard? Free stuff? Prizes for being a virgin? Cash? COUNT ME IN!
Last night I attended the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence's Revival Bingo. I have not had so much fun in a long time! The sisters put on a monthly bingo game, yes, just like your grandparents play, but with cash, porn, dramatics, rollerskates, costumes, and free stuff, all to support a worthwhile cause.
Held the first Thursday of the month, for $15 you get a game card good for 8 games of fanatical fun, and for an extra $5 you can get an extra game board. Each month has a theme, last night was Holler Roller Bingo, next month is XXXmas Bingo...
A very mixed and eclectic crowd, just there to have a kick ass time!

you say bingo is boring, and i say you're wrong!

came here with nikki h. back in the day, and a blast we did have!

it happens once a month, and while it is $15 a head, they (the sisters of perpetual indulgence, that is) have awesome prizes and their money goes to charity.

truly a must if you are in the bay!

Too fun for words...I had the pleasure of hitting Broadway Bingo. Lively...sexy..and oh so fun. Just sorry that I wasn't able to win any of those gay porn prizes.
