Not Your Standard Bingo at Jara at The Standard, Ibiza

Once the domain of silver-haired folk in retirement homes, the good old-fashioned game of Bingo has had a revival in recent years – mostly thanks to hip hotel brand The Standard.

Hosted by the island’s favourite showgirl BLONDEWEARINGBLACK and Spanish comedian Jose Boto, Not Your Standard Bingo transforms the hotel’s ground floor restaurant Jara into a hedonistic playground on Wednesday nights with whopping prizes to be won. Grab a group of your besties, prepare to call in sick for work the next day, and get ready for things to get raucous as you wait for your balls to be called! Reservations essential – expect this to be a sellout.
