The Lion & Crown Pub, an English-style pub with a large and varied menu, is open seven days a week from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. serving lunch, dinner and daily specials. The pub also offers a wide selection of fine wines and 38 beers on tap. Guests can watch sporting events on one of the many large TV screens or enjoy a nice night out on the patio. Different drink specials are available every day and live music on Friday and Saturday.
Whether it's the cooling trend in the weather or some other intangible energy wafting in
the air, the crowd picked up last night at the Lion & Crown Public House in Allen, Texas.
Add in a boisterous table of newbies and a great set of trivia questions and you've got a
recipe for a prize winning dish of King Trivia!
Above mentioned newbies were a raucous group of ladies who styled themselves as Judy's
Jewels. Shine and sparkle they did, with a room rending cheer each time their score was
called out and an impressive third place win! The once-a-month Shredder Squad showed up
as is their fashion and slashed their way to first place. The Hooligans started off
in the lead, with a couple of judicious Double-or-Nothing's in the first rounds, but got
elbowed to second in the end game.
TRIVIA PONDERS:
TV personality Jerry Springer used to be mayor of Cincinnati. Cincinnati WKRP used to be
on TV. How about Howard Hesseman/Dr. Johnny Fever for mayor?
What if the Muppets did their own version of the film Marathon Man?
Remembering Irene Cara's song hits is a trivia triumph of enormous proportion!
Going from Musicals to United Nations/European Union trivia is like doing a 180 in the
Batmobile.
Have a great weekend, everybody!
