Buzz Bingo and The Slots Room Barkingside

Great night out friendly staff always there to help food is nice

Why don't people at this club call up ...sooooo iratating....

Enjoyed light bright atmosphere

I find that it's a bit bright with some lighting and the caller can some times call the numbers a bit fast as I miss numbers some times, completely for got to play the two special tickets that I had brought so I wasted my £2 I payed for, other than that it a night out staff are friendly..I had a latte that was nice, maybe I might have a win next time would be nice for a win for Christmas.

We went in with 2 new members. One of the female staff was very helpful getting them signed up. We all had a great night.

What a wasted opportunity to have a cinema in the prime location of Redbridge. This building is lacking any good facilities, in all honesty, management should refacilitate the building to a mall with cinema and bowling alley, instead they are offering what the likes of Ladbrokes, paddy power, William Hill Bedfred and Jennings Bet already offer. With all the gambling addiction and whatnot another gambling place is the last thing this council needs.Here's a fun fact, Opened as the State Cinema by independent operator Cumberland Cinemas Ltd. in October 1938. It was advertised as the District’s Newest Theatre ‘A Cathedral of Motion Picture Arts’ and had two entrances, the main one on Fairlop Road and another on Fullwell Avenue and seating was provided in stalls and balcony levels. There was a luxurious café/ballroom and two car-parks for the use of patrons. Designed by noted cinema architect George Coles, it had clean sweeping corners and troughs of concealed lighting, typical of a large suburban cinema being built in the U.K. at that time.By 1940, it had been taken over by Kessex Cinemas, owned by the Kay Brothers who were a large Independent circuit operating several huge cinemas in the local area. Sadly in October 1940 it suffered some bomb damage and was closed down and requisitioned by the Government War Office to be used as a store house for the remainder of the war.In September 1947 it was taken over by Associated British Cinemas (ABC) chain who repaired and refurbished it to re-open as the ABC State on 16th February 1948, but without its café/ballroom which remained closed up and un-used. In 1964 it became the ABC Barkingside and continued as a single screen operation until it was closed on 19th August 1972 to be converted into a twin cinema/bingo operation. The 626 seat ABC Cinema opened in the former balcony area on 23rd November 1972 using the main entrance in Fairlop Road. The former stalls area went over to bingo club use and was operated by Star Cinemas (bingo division) using the secondary entrance in Fullwell Avenue. ABC closed the cinema on 4th December 1976 with Christina Lindberg in the ‘banned’ Swedish film “Exposed” and “Sex Rally”, but bingo remained open downstairs.The cinema section was re-opened as the independently operated Ace-State Cinema on 17th September 1978 and a second (video) screen seating 159 opened in the former cafe/ballroom area on 15th May 1982.The State-Ace Cinema closed down on 30th August 1984 with “Star Trek III” in the main screen and “BMX Bandits” showing in the video screen. This section of the building has been mothballed and unused ever since..One would hope the cinema section is reopened in the future as it would really do this side of Redbridge justice.

I used to go quite abit but stopped going so much now hardly no deals sent to me and when they do it's not they days I go you have to register your membership card when you go in so its logged so must know what day I did go and its always the same people that seem to win all the time but the staff are always friendly and helpful

Friendly and helpful staff. Great atmosphere. Very helpful with wheelchair accessibility

Very nice place to play bingo, all the staff are very helpful, the food and drinks are good value. Prize money not always the best, but the atmosphere and friendship make up for this. Wood strongly recommend it for people to meet and talk to friends and also make new friends. James, 30 year member.
