Boozy Bingo Night 2026 at a Glance

Barrel 33’s official calendar confirms the August 13 and August 27 sessions and now lists September 10 and September 24 as additional 2026 Boozy Bingo Night dates. Each published session runs from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM and uses the same $20 entry offer.

What Is Boozy Bingo Night?

Boozy Bingo Night is a social evening event built around traditional bingo-style competition in Barrel 33’s Big Bear Lake setting. Rather than a large festival or all-day attraction, it is a compact two-hour activity that can fit easily into a longer Big Bear itinerary.

The venue describes the evening simply: guests come for bingo, drinks, and prizes, with a $20 entry that includes the first beverage.

That straightforward format makes the event useful for couples looking for an evening activity, friends traveling together, or visitors who want something social to do after spending the afternoon exploring Big Bear.

Barrel 33 regularly hosts other entertainment and community events, including live music, acoustic performances, workshops, and seasonal gatherings, so Boozy Bingo fits into a broader calendar of activities at the venue.

The event listing does not publish the number of bingo rounds, individual prize descriptions, exact game rules, or a detailed food-and-beverage package. Do not assume those details from previous sessions; follow the instructions provided at the event.

When Is Boozy Bingo Night in Big Bear in 2026?

The original published summer dates were:

• Thursday, August 13, 2026
• Thursday, August 27, 2026

Barrel 33’s official calendar subsequently added:

• Thursday, September 10, 2026
• Thursday, September 24, 2026

All four published events run from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM.

This update matters if you found an older listing that only mentioned August 13 and August 27. Those dates were valid, but they no longer represent the complete published 2026 schedule.

As of September 10, 2026, Visit Big Bear’s current calendar shows Boozy Bingo Night continuing through September 24, matching Barrel 33’s official event calendar.

No additional Boozy Bingo Night dates beyond September 24 are currently confirmed in the official sources reviewed for this guide. If you’re planning a later fall trip, check Barrel 33’s live calendar before assuming another session will be added.

Where Is Boozy Bingo Night?

Boozy Bingo Night takes place at:

Barrel 33
40754 Village Dr.
Big Bear Lake, CA 92315

The location places the event in Big Bear Lake’s Village area, making it convenient to combine with an afternoon or evening spent exploring nearby shops and the central visitor district.

The published event information lists Village public parking lots as the parking option. Because The Village can be busy during weekends and popular travel periods, give yourself enough time to park and walk to the venue before the 5:00 PM start.

How Much Does Boozy Bingo Night Cost?

The currently published entry price is $20 per person, and Barrel 33 states that the price includes the guest’s first beverage.

The event page does not publish a separate prize fee, detailed beverage restrictions, food package, or universal additional-spend requirement. Any food or extra drinks ordered beyond what is explicitly included should be treated separately unless the venue says otherwise.

Because event pricing can change, confirm the live listing before attending, especially if you’re planning a future session rather than one of the currently announced 2026 dates.

Do You Need Tickets or Reservations?

The official event listing confirms the $20 admission but does not publish a detailed advance-reservation policy in the information currently available. Visitors should check Barrel 33’s live event page or contact the venue at 909-878-0838 before making a special trip if guaranteed admission is important.

This is particularly sensible for groups. A two-hour indoor event can have a practical capacity limit even when a specific maximum is not posted publicly.

Do not assume that arriving at 5:00 PM guarantees entry if the venue reaches capacity, and do not assume advance reservations are mandatory unless Barrel 33 explicitly says so for your chosen date.

What Can Visitors Expect at Boozy Bingo Night?

The evening is designed around casual competition rather than a complicated event program. The official description highlights:

• Bingo games
• Fun prizes
• A $20 entry
• A first beverage included with admission
• A 5:00 PM-7:00 PM event window

Barrel 33’s wider calendar shows that the venue frequently hosts live music, food-and-drink events, and other social programming, but those separate events should not be assumed to be part of Boozy Bingo Night unless specifically advertised for your date.

No detailed bingo schedule is currently published. That means there is no verified information about the number of games, prize values, special rounds, or exact timing of each game.

The event also does not publish a specific age requirement in the listings reviewed for this article. Since Barrel 33 serves beer and wine and the event is promoted around beverages, families or younger guests should contact the venue before attending rather than assuming that all ages can participate.

Parking and Transportation

Where Do You Park for Boozy Bingo Night?

The event information directs visitors to the Village public parking lots. Since Barrel 33 is on Village Drive, visitors can park in an appropriate public lot and walk to the venue.

Parking availability can vary with other Big Bear events, weekend traffic, and general Village activity. Arriving somewhat before 5:00 PM gives you time to find parking without missing the beginning of bingo.

Should You Drive After the Event?

If you plan to drink alcohol, arrange transportation that does not depend on you driving afterward. Travelers staying in Big Bear should plan this part of the evening before arriving rather than making transportation decisions after the event.

Visitors who are not drinking should still consider mountain conditions if they intend to leave Big Bear after 7:00 PM. Weather, road work, traffic, and darkness can all make the return trip different from the drive into town.

What Should You Bring?

Boozy Bingo Night requires less preparation than an outdoor Big Bear event, but a few items can help:

• Your payment method: admission is currently listed at $20, and you may want food or additional beverages.
• Identification: bring valid ID if you intend to order an alcoholic beverage.
• A warm layer: even if the event is indoors, evenings in Big Bear can be cool when walking back through The Village.
• Your event details: confirm the date and 5:00 PM start before leaving.
• A transportation plan: arrange a safe ride if alcohol will be part of your evening.

You do not need specialized equipment or outdoor gear for the bingo event itself.

How to Make a Weekend of Boozy Bingo Night

Arrival Day: Check In and Explore The Village

If you’re coming from outside the Big Bear Valley, arrive earlier in the day and check into your cabin before heading to Barrel 33.

Use the afternoon for a relaxed visit around The Village rather than trying to squeeze in an activity that ends immediately before bingo. This gives you enough time to park, walk to the venue, and arrive for the 5:00 PM start.

Evening: Boozy Bingo at Barrel 33

Plan to be at Barrel 33 shortly before 5:00 PM. The event runs until 7:00 PM, giving you a compact evening activity without taking over the entire night.

After bingo, you can continue your evening in The Village or head back to your cabin. If you’ve been drinking, use your prearranged transportation rather than driving.

An overnight cabin is especially convenient for groups because nobody has to immediately start a long mountain trip after the event.

Check A Chalet cabin availability for your Boozy Bingo dates.

Next Morning: Enjoy More of Big Bear

The following morning can be kept flexible. Have breakfast at your cabin, spend time around Big Bear Lake, explore more of The Village, or choose another seasonal activity before heading home.

Building one extra morning into the trip can turn a two-hour evening event into a more relaxed Big Bear visit without requiring an overloaded itinerary.

Where to Stay for Boozy Bingo Night

Because the event takes place in Big Bear Lake, visitors should prioritize Big Bear Lake or nearby Big Bear City lodging rather than Lake Arrowhead for a trip centered on Barrel 33.

A Chalet currently offers cabins across Big Bear Lake and Big Bear City, ranging from smaller properties to larger multi-bedroom vacation rentals. Its current collection includes two-bedroom properties such as Heavenly Bay Retreat, Jaybird Cabin, and Maverick’s Cabin, as well as larger options such as three-bedroom Conklin Canopy and four-bedroom Boulder Landing, Rustic Ridge, and Elevated Escape.

For two people attending Boozy Bingo Night, a smaller cabin may be all you need. A group of friends can compare larger rentals that provide multiple bedrooms and shared space for relaxing before and after the event.

If you want to prepare breakfast or meals at your rental, confirm that your chosen property currently lists a kitchen. Likewise, verify parking, pet rules, hot tubs, laundry facilities, and any other amenity directly on the property’s current listing.

Do not choose accommodation solely because it appears close on a general map. Consider your full itinerary, group size, transportation plan, and current property details.

Tips for Booking an Event Weekend Cabin

Confirm the bingo date before booking. The schedule expanded beyond the original August dates, and September 24 is currently the last announced 2026 session.

Choose Big Bear-area lodging. Barrel 33 is in Big Bear Lake, so Big Bear Lake or Big Bear City is more practical than adding a separate Lake Arrowhead drive.

Plan transportation in advance. If anyone in your group plans to drink alcohol, decide how everyone will return to the cabin safely before the event begins.

Select enough bedrooms for your group. Friends traveling together may value separate sleeping spaces even for a short weekend.

Verify current amenities. A Chalet properties vary, so check the live listing for kitchen facilities, parking, pet policies, hot tubs, and other features.

Consider staying the night after bingo. Since the event finishes at 7:00 PM, staying in Big Bear lets you enjoy the evening without immediately driving down the mountain.
