For Bongos Bingo and our other seated events, we operate a cashless table ordering system via QR code for food and drinks.

No food or drink is allowed to be brought into the venue — our security team will undertake searches at the door.

For standing gigs the bar will be open and accepts cash or card.

We have disabled access through a double fire door. If needed, please ask one of the security team at the main entrance and they will arrange for the door to be opened.

The disabled toilet is on the ground floor.

Some events will be standing only. For seated events we provide benches and tables in a Bier Keller style setup.

Seats are unreserved — if attending with a group we advise arriving early. We do not guarantee that you will be able to sit together, but there will be enough seats for everyone with a ticket.

We operate a Challenge 25 policy — if you are lucky enough to look under 25 we will need proof of age documentation.

Bongos Bingo events are strictly 18+ only. Other events will be clearly stated if under 18s are allowed.

We have a zero tolerance policy on drugs. Our security team will perform checks at the door — if found, any drugs will be confiscated and the person will be refused entry.

We do not have a specific dress code — the type of event you are attending will usually dictate what is appropriate.

Do be aware that other local establishments do have dress codes, so if you plan on heading somewhere else after leaving us you may want to consider this.

We no longer take table reservations. We do make exceptions for customers with special requirements — if you have access or physical needs please contact us at least 7 days before the event.

Tables are claimed on a first-come, first-served basis. If you are coming as a large group or want to sit near the front, we suggest arriving before doors open.

No dancing on the furniture!

Tickets cannot be purchased on the door — all tickets must be bought in advance via BongosBingo.co.uk

Dress code: we do not have a strict dress code — wear something you can dance in! Be aware that some local venues have strict dress codes if you plan to head out after.
