SHIRLEY ON PADDY'S DAY

BINGO: 17 FEBRUARY 2013


Love is a many splendour'd thing. Or so they say. I don't know what exactly a "splendoured" thing is. My guess:  Something that's low in actual sugar but high in Xylitol or Aspertame or some sugar replacement. That's all good if you have Type Read more

Bingo ScreenYou probably learned how to play bingo when you were a kid. But don’t worry if you still get a huge thrill from being the first one to yell “Bingo!”. It doesn’t mean you’re a total simpleton. The fact is, Bingo is one of the world’s most favourite pastimes. And with me as your host, you’ll soon see why. Read more

Can I Book A Table?

posted on by Shirley Temple Bar in Bingo in The George | 2 Comments

The venue is a pub so all seating (apart from selected reserved areas) is on a First Come, First Served basis. It’s often standing room only from very early in the evening, so don’t dilly-dally over your outfit. If you can’t see me, then the odds are I can’t see you so all that worry over your fashion choices will have been for nothing.

Of course, some of the best seating in the house can be reserved. If you would like to book a table (for a small number of friends), get in touch using the form below and we will do our best to facilitate. If it is a special occasion, be sure to mention it so we can do our best to make a fuss/ignore it/ruin it.

Wherever you sit (or stand), there are screens situated around the premises so you can follow along with the Bingo or watch performances in diet-inducing “widescreen”. Read more

The George, DublinTickets? You want to book tickets? Well, you can’t. That’s because there are no tickets. Unbelieveably, this amazing show is absolutely free. Even the bingo books and pens are free. That’s how much they value your custom in The George. The only thing better would be if the drinks were free. Which they are not. That said, if you play Bingo, there’s a chance you could win free drinks too. So everyone is a winner! Unless you don’t win. Read more

It takes place every Sunday at The George, Ireland’s oldest gay bar and also features some of my fabulous friends and frenemies. Each week the cast may be different but you are guaranteed the same unforgettable experience. Read more
