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.
Even though the threat of severe thunder storms clouded the evening, the crowds turned
out at the Lion & Crown last night. It was nice to see R.O.U.S. again. (Fans of The
Princess Bride will get that one!) The Hilltoppers came and went early. It was probably
the final Double-or-Nothing that turned them out. And a big welcome to the newbies,
Thunda From Down Unda, who had the strength of a cricket team but only two axes who
actually played! Beer Logic and Rockerfeller also played, and well, too.
The Drama Queen Fairy made an appearance last night as Deadly Alliance (aka Blood, Bath
& Beyond/Ship It!) and Street Smarts duked it out for second and third place over a tie
breaker. DA won. Bar Guy (Sean carried that old banner) made an amazing win with a
first win by DoN on the last round! (Someone on the team had been in Band in High School
and knew what the components of a string quartet were!) Exciting stuff!
Hats off to our quiz writers once again. At first, the question set seemed a little too
easy. A lot of DoN's, successful ones at that, were being made. Then came Round Six and
specificity of matching solo artists to their bands daunted all but the music geeks. It
was a strategy. Possibly. The best moment of mirth came when a couple of the teams
substituted gesundheit for schadenfreude. Oy!
Have a nice weekend everybody. Peace.
