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.
Mirth and merriment were had in abundance last night at the Lion
& Crown's weekly Thursday night King Trivia Pub Quiz as nine
teams gathered to test their trivia tactics in tumultuous tournament!
(Hey, it's a format, but I dig it!)
Newbies King Henry the ? and Garlic Bread Mafia (great name!)
hoisted their banners and jousted with old and new regulars alike.
So Much Pressure returned, but cut out early. (Because, you know...
Pressure.) Sanitize or Die not only reapperaed but registered
their team for that all important two point bonus! (Now, if they
could just control that urge to Double-or-Nothing!) Ship It! and
Pickles on a Plate (last week's champs) added their familiar gravitas
to the proceedings while Binge Thinking made a comeback with a
third palce win! We had a metaphoric knife fight betwixt the
Dallas Boolers Club and Velvet Hammered win they tied for first!
VH won the day by getting closest to guessing the average cost
per mile for fuel and maintenance for a medium sedan. (Hah! What
a world!)
L & C had a small reunion of sorts by the appearance of former
bar tender and vivacious brunette, Marissa. She used to work hard
at getting Quiz Master Lou sloshed on his favorite tipple, Lounge
Lizards (dark rum, amaretto, coca-cola and lime juice... In case
anyone's taking notes...) Now relocated to New Mexico, Marissa
came back to town for her father's funeral (our condolences, my
dear) and dropped in to say hello. She remarked to me that her
dad was a trivia nut! This quiz was dedicated to him.
There's more but that's all the bytes I got for now. A cyber
attack depleted my stores. Uh, the I-Cloud had a rain storm.
Uh, there was a traffic jam on the information highway! Oh...
Don't you know technology is here for our convenience?!? Have
a great weekend before they run out!
