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!

It started as a quiet night with a few of our regular teams missing, we spiced things up a bit and offered many varieties of extra points for everyone. The first team to turn in an answer sheet each round would get a bonus point, then they would get to determine the dance move or weird sound each team would have to do in order for them to get their extra point. We heard monkey sounds, some Michael Jackson dance moves, and eventually - you guessed it, twerking!

During our Drinking Round of Failed Simon Says Turned Into Rock Paper Scissors, our winning team was I, the Quizmaster.... but they were kind enough to gift their pitcher of beer to RIP Bill Paxton, how nice! In the end, Quiztopher Walken took home 1st prize, beating out the best dancers RIP Bill Paxton by just ONE point. Team Plutonium also won 3rd prize by ONE point... what a close game for everyone!

It was fun and it got a little weird - hope you all enjoyed our wacky night of trivia!

We had a tough trivia start with only 1 team successfully Doubling up points in the first 4 Rounds. Round 5 is where we separated the winners from the losers as the teams who would later end up in 1st and 2nd place were able to Double their points and catapult ahead of the other teams.

In the end, Tru Dat would reclaim a 1st place victory with Daddy not far behind in 2nd, and Quiztopher Walken took home 3rd edging out the others aiming for a prize.

Well, Team Plutonium decided to take a break this week - allowing a little more room for other teams to swoop in and take home some prizes. While 1 team Doubled their points in Round 1, nearly all teams Doubled in Round 2. But the real surprise of the night was the return of We're Fine, Everything's Fine whose team members had previously moved away a few months ago. Now they only returned with about half their original team members, but that was just enough to land them in 1st place for the night... Which is exactly where they landed on their last night of trivia months ago! Kudos to you guys for taking home the top prize.

Congrats to Quiztopher Walken on their 2nd place finish, and to our 3rd place team Daddy who also won the Drinking Round challenge by just baaaarely edging out B Team for the pitcher of beer... by accurately naming the tune based off it's Polka cover! How fun!
