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.
Business was industrious yet mellow at the old Lion & Crown last
night as our usual Thursday night trysts of toasts and trivia
tangoed triumphantly.
Newbies Team Davidson and Kings of the Jungle joined in the fray
with the latter acquitting themseles well by actually taking second
place lead for a while. If they had registered their team for
that ever important two point bonus, there would have been a three
way tie at game's end! As it stood, a tie breaker for third place
happened between the FNG's and Ship It! with the latter winning
the draw by coming closest to guessing the length of time for the
longest recorded Thailand kiss. Pickles on a Plate brought home
the bacon with a way out in front first palce win while one man
army Velvet Hammered scored a second place victory. The Dallas
Boolers Club, though undermanned, still commanded with sheer presence even though they finished near the bottom.
A fairly fine quiz from our trivia overlords tickled the gray matter
of our players, though a bit heavy on the Hollywood side of pop
culture. Holly Hunter was the mystery girl of our Guess Who Round
while full on celebrity worship dominated Round Six's match up of
famous wives with their famous spouses. (Obvously, many of the
faithful were present since a couple of Double-or-Nothings went
off successfully!) Our single moment of desperation guesses delighted as one team ventured that the other half of the 80's Pop Duo Wham! was The Guy That Wasn't George Michael!
Quiz Master Lou is signing off. Hope to see you next week! Watch
the skies for a warning!
