About Grunions Sports Bar & Grill

Grunions Sports Bar & Grill is a South Bay local landmark. It’s been a local’s favorite spot to watch any major (and even minor) sporting event while eating the best pub food around. It all started in 1974 when Grunions Sports Bar & Grill opened its doors in Manhattan Beach, CA. The mission then, as it is today, was to provide a place where people can go and enjoy great food and drinks while cheering on their favorite sports teams, in a comfortable (and family friendly) environment where everyone is treated like a regular even if it’s their first visit. Whether you live in the area or just visiting, we have what you are looking for…guaranteed!

As a substitute Quizmaster, I try to do my due diligence. I check past recaps to see how many teams a bar usually has in an average week. But with a whopping 13 teams, the night before a national holiday is, apparently, anything but average!

In the end, it was Diggle Bicks who pulled out ahead of the competition with 63 total points! They managed to barely beat out Team Plutonium, who finished second with 62 points. Both teams scored successful 20-point doubles in the final few rounds. In third was Zach Attack with 55 points, the only other team (among many attempts) to achieve the elusive Round 5 double. Well done, all teams!

A shout out also to Camel Tow Truck, winner of free beer for their picture of the 4th of July, creatively drawn and with a hefty helping of local flavor (pictured above). Happy Independence Day, Grunions!

It only took team We're Fine, Everything's Fine about 100 tries, but they nailed their first quiz night victory! Congrats to a great team!

Tonight's bonus round was brought to you by team Know Worries who returned to Grunions after a lengthy vacation. During their travels, they picked up a "Mystery Gift" in Indianapolis with an Alien on a brown paper bag. This gave instant inspiration to have our teams guess what's in the bag! Great job Diggle Bicks who came the closest by guessing "alien guts" when it actually contained salt water taffy.
