You're right it is creative and original. My take of bingo has always been from Simpsons, retired old people playing bingo. With that said, I probably wouldn't go with Bingo on a first date myself as I've never tried it. Maybe sometime down the road, but not on the first. Why? Because I want to leave a good first impression, and that'll start off with something I'm familiar with. If you've tried bingo before, do that on the first date. More power to you. I just want to leave that good first impression, then hell I'd give bingo a shot. I doubt I'd like it, but who knows right?

If this is anywhere close to a first date where neither knows a whole lot about the other, you won't find many girls who are comfortable doing a 3-hour interview drill session over drinks and dinner. Most would prefer some laid back activity to go with it. Bingo doesn't necessarily have to be that but solely dinner and drinks screams of boring and unoriginal. Not to mention if you're taking a girl out for dinner and drinks and the bill only comes to $50 you're either taking her to Ricky's All Day Grill or you're only letting her have an appetizer and a single pint of whatever's on tap.
Like I said earlier, 2.5 hours tops but like someone above mentioned an hour is more than suffice and I agree with that. Despite dinner and drinks being unoriginal, very true, but it's worked back then and it's still successful now. As for boring though that would solely depend on the company or yourself, and how the night goes. Deadair, incompatible personalities, etc.

Lastly, I personally wouldn't do drinks on a first date, that's just me I have my reasons. But, movie on a first date like crayon suggested, is absolutely stupid. Last time I checked, you were suppose to keep quiet after trailers, yeah plenty of interaction going on there.
