"HamBINGO Mary's" Drag Queen Bingo for Chicago Community Jail Support
Date & Time: Wednesday, August 19, 2026 · 7pm
Location: 1055 W. Bryn Mawr Suite E, Chicago, IL 60660
Join us for "HamBINGO Mary's" Drag Queen Bingo!
Hamburger Mary's asks for a donation to play bingo (usually $20), which is collected directly by the CCJS. That gets you the bingo sheets to play all the games!
Win cool prizes hand-picked by CCJS volunteers. We do not play HamBINGO for cash (Mary's ain't a casino, honey!)... We play for jail support and for fun!
Price: $20 donation
Make a reservation (on Toast, starting at 6PM)
