Big Prize Bingo Returns to William Price Distilling with Astros Tickets Up for Grabs
Bingo has traditionally been associated with church halls, folding tables, and prizes that may or may not include a suspiciously large basket of canned goods.
William Price Distilling has gone in another direction.
On Wednesday, August 26, 2026, the Houston distillery hosts another round of Big Prize Bingo, with this week's grand prize being two field-level tickets to see the Houston Astros take on the Arizona Diamondbacks on Friday, September 4.
Bingo runs from 7 to 9 p.m., and it's free to play.
Astros Tickets Are This Week's Grand Prize
The emphasis in Big Prize Bingo is apparently on the word big.
This week's winner will take home two field-level Astros tickets for the September 4 game against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
There's no charge to play, and walk-ins are welcome. William Price recommends making a table reservation through Resy if you want the best seating.
Because losing at bingo is one thing.
Losing at bingo while standing behind somebody considerably taller than you is unnecessary.
Come Early for Steak Night and $8 Cocktails
There's plenty happening before the first bingo card comes out.
William Price will offer $8 cocktails from 3 to 6 p.m., while Steak Night runs from 5 to 9 p.m.
That means you can arrive early for dinner and drinks before bingo begins at 7.
Or arrive very early for cocktails.
I'm not here to manage your Wednesday.
William Price Is Getting Ready for Football Season
Big Prize Bingo also arrives as William Price prepares to turn its Houston tasting room into a destination for fall sports.
The distillery plans to show college football, NFL games, major soccer matches, and rugby on its giant projection screen throughout the season.
That begins in earnest with the Texas College Football Kickoff on Saturday, September 5, featuring games involving Houston, Texas, Texas A&M, and Arizona State.
Guests watching games at William Price will also have opportunities to check in and enter to win a college football jersey.
So if your preferred fall pairing is whiskey and yelling at a projection screen because a 20-year-old didn't run the football where you specifically instructed him to, William Price has apparently planned accordingly.

Merch purchases help support independent Texas whiskey reviews, distillery visits, photography, event coverage, and keeping this calendar updated—because apparently keeping track of every place in Texas where you can simultaneously drink whiskey and win baseball tickets has become part of my job description.
