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.
Things were raucous and rollicking at the Lion & Crown in Allen last night as
yet another rowdy Thursday of King Trivia Pub Quiz got rolling. Newbies the
Sister Wives threw their figurative hats into the ring only to discover yet the
existence of another societal pyramid, that of the pub quiz culture!
Ninja Turtles dominated that pyramid early on with two consecutive Double-or-
Nothing's in Rounds One and Two and never relinquishing the lead for the rest
of the evening. The second and third positions became more or less a blitz
krieg between Street Smarts, Scott's Tots and the Rockerfellers rivaling any
jockeying ever witnessed at the Preakness. So much so, that the inevitable
drama of a tie breaker occurred twixt Scott's Tots and Street Smarts, with the
former nailing it for second! Exciting stuff.
Rounds Two and Six received the most accolades while Rounds Three and Five earned
the most enmity. Mostly because the questions in Find-the-Connection were a little
too esoteric as to obscure the motif. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
After all, part of trivia is to impart esoteric knowledge! Oh well. Live and learn.
Or live and ignore. Or ignore and die. Or live and die. Hmmm... How'd I get onto
that? Must be the stream-of-columnist!
Au revoir jusqu'? la semaine prochaine mes amis!
