Big Prize Bingo Returns to William Price Distilling in Houston
Bingo has traditionally been associated with church halls, folding tables, and someone taking the phrase “B-12” considerably more seriously than seems necessary.
William Price Distilling has a slightly different interpretation.
On Wednesday, August 19, 2026, the Houston distillery hosts another round of Big Prize Bingo, combining bingo with cocktails, whiskey, food, and prizes at the distillery.
The event begins at 7 p.m., and admission is free.
Bingo Night, Distillery Style
Big Prize Bingo is one of William Price Distilling's recurring tasting-room events, giving Houston whiskey fans a pretty low-effort excuse to visit the distillery in the middle of the week.
There's no elaborate whiskey seminar or formal tasting involved. Grab a drink, find a seat, get your bingo card, and hope the random-number gods have chosen you.
The emphasis here is on the social side of a distillery tasting room.
Texas distilleries increasingly function as neighborhood gathering places rather than somewhere you visit once, take a tour, buy a bottle, and leave. Recurring events like bingo give people a reason to return even when there isn't a major bottle release happening.
Of course, being surrounded by whiskey doesn't exactly hurt.
A Houston Distillery Worth Knowing
William Price Distilling operates in Houston's Garden Oaks area and produces a range of spirits while maintaining a tasting room built around cocktails and community events.
For whiskey drinkers, William Price is particularly interesting because the distillery isn't afraid to experiment.
Its whiskey releases have included bourbons, rye whiskeys, blends, finished expressions, single barrels, and limited releases that give regular visitors something new to keep an eye on.
Big Prize Bingo isn't designed as a guided exploration of any particular bottle, but that's part of the appeal. It's an opportunity to visit the distillery in a much more casual setting and explore the bar at your own pace.
Big Prizes—and Free Bingo
As the name suggests, this isn't just a game for bragging rights.
William Price puts real prizes on the line during Big Prize Bingo, adding a little incentive to pay attention to your card instead of becoming completely distracted by whatever is in your glass.
Bingo is free to play, making this an easy event to add to a Wednesday night without committing to a ticketed tasting or class.
Food will also be available from El Compa Food Truck, so there's no need to conduct important bingo business on an empty stomach.
