QUIZ RECAP

While many were still a bit hungover from Labor Day or ringing in the Jewish New Year, the real hardcores showed up to commence their long weekend with a trivia win. But, as many learn the hard way in poker, the house always wins. And win it did tonight as Go Fuck Yourself - including our beloved bartender Mike - swept the competition after some solid back and forth with The Kids Table and Tea Lizards. But it was Hail Hydra who kicked themselves just a little harder when they completely blanked on the names of the Golden Girls and missed a, well, golden opportunity to double and claim Hydra Supremacy at Barney's. This, of course, led to a three way tie for second place. Always a solid finish here at the Beanery.

QUIZ RECAP

19 teams. One winner.

Weenies managed to outplay, outlast and quite possibly outwit all of the other survivors on the island of Barney's tonight to take home the main prize and all the bragging rights that come along with it. Torches were snuffed as regulars Hail Hydra, Definitely Cheating, Touched by an Uncle and Space Godzilla put up their finest battles but ultimately fell during a particularly challenging Find the Connection round. Unfortunately that fumble put a "g'day mate" kibosh on winding up in the Final 3 where Tea Lizards and The Kids Table stepped up to snag their gift cards and applaud Weenies who snuck the win past 2nd place by one measly point. 

QUIZ RECAP

After a year and a half away, the prodigal son has returned to Barney's West Hollywood. And our players were there in force to greet him - and play some trivia.

It's been a year. But here we are. Back where it all began. Eating jalapeno poppers, drinking IPAs and trying to sus out when in time the Olympics would have taken place. The Quizzlypuffs, Tea Lizards, and hail hydra! all returned to the fold with something to prove and they ouplayed, outlasted and outperformed the other teams - until the second half of the game when newcomers East Coast and Three's Company weaponized their double or nothing strategy to swoop in and claim the two top prizes. 

Trivia looks a little different when you're playing on your phone but we're back, we're in person, we're playing as teams again, and the Who Am I? still remains the toughest of the seven. It's really like nothing has changed. 

See you all next week. Same bat host, same bat time, same bat venue.
