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.
It may have been a rainy night in Allen, but that didn't stop the dogged and
determined from coming out to play King Trivia Pub Quiz at the Lion & Crown!
While the weather was cold and wet, it only matched the pleasurable essence of
the adult beverages which slaked our collective thirst. (The pizza was pretty
good, too!)
The lead can be a fickle mistress and proved so last night as she went from
team to team to team. Our General Knowledge Round yielded a three way tie in
the opening but quickly narrowed, with the king of the hill being replaced
regularly as each round presented different challenges to different intellects.
Ship It!, Street Smarts and Stealth Texas were all positioned to take the top
honors in the beginning but as the evening drove on, their course grew less
steady. Our old friends the Hilltoppers made a stunning comeback with a first
place win while delightful newbies Experiama exploded with a surprising second
position victory!
Our quiz had some surprises as well. However, the question about what kind of a
thing is a blunderbuss is too easy for a bar in Texas. (Just sayin'...) The
Picture Round was pretty clever and challenging, trying to ID the movie a video
game is based on. Virtually no one got Manos: Hands of Fate, but style points
went to the team that put down Quiz Master Lou: The Reckoning! (And I thought it
had something to do with Frank Zappa...)
Kudos to Derek and Kito, just because... Have a happy weekend everyone!
