- PUB QUIZ—Tuesdays @ 8:00pm
The Frozé machine rumbled and churned, spinning up a vermillion concoction that satisfied every overworked customer in the bustling Idle Hour Bar. They were tired from work, commutes, and the general ennui of modern life…but they were still AMPED AS ALL GET OUT for some King Trivia!
23 team braved the overcast and near-perfect 68 degree weather to enter the barrel-shaped battlefield for a chance to win one of three incredible prizes.
Round One was a solid warm up, but our teams were feeling a bit apprehensive. Only two risked the double, which led to a tie for Legless Hippos and The Bugle.
Round Two came down to which team had ever watched an Elvis movie. Turns out…not that many! Legless took the lead and seemed unstoppable.
Round Three was a tricky new round that threw veterans and newbies alike. Legless risked a double and missed opening the ground for Three Cool Boys with a tie.
Round Four saw Bandurwagon and Bad News Cear Bears use their knowledge of veteran comediennes to snag a tie in third.
Our Drinking Round challenged our teams to come up with their best Laffy Taffy jokes. With an incredibly timely and touching joke, Bugle took the free shots! “What do you call it when QM Adam naps? His Idle Hour!”
Rounds Five wasn’t too hard to piece together, and quite a few teams locked in the connection. But only Frugs had the forethought to throw it all on the line for a third place spot.
Round Six set up the cards for a final showdown, with Legless in the lead, followed by Cool Boys and Bad News.
Round Seven ended up being the deciding round, with no needs for tie-breakers or moderators. The top spot won by a SINGLE POINT!
Our winners were decisive, humble, and model-attractive.
Legless Hippos, Three Cool Boys, and Frugs.

The heat is on. Spring in the Valley started with a sweltering wave of brain-melting temperatures. But things are always hot (and minds are always on fire) at Idle Hour every Tuesday night. That’s right, it’s time for more…KING TRIVIA!
28 teams joined us in our barrel-shaped bar for the best trivia show in all of NoHo.
Round One is normally and easy venture for our seasoned veterans, but only a few chose to risk it all for a quick double: Quiz-Team-A Aguilera, Agents of the Zeitgeist, ODEON, and Breakfast All Day.
Round Two was a strip down memory lane, looking at some of the classic comics of the Sunday paper. While a few teams recognized the majority of 2D stars, only Agents of the Zeitgeist had the numbers to take the lead.
Round Three was a flip for the for which entity has the silliest names: Dr. Seuss or Cricket. Breakfast All Day knew their Wockets from their Wickets and took the top spot.
Round Four was too easy, as most of our teams are sovereign citizens of Flavortown, and the scores didn’t move.
Our Drinking Round served as a reminder that the best stories begin with great writing, so pay artists what they’re worth! But also, we talked about famous movie and awarded Bad News Care Bears the free shots!
Rounds Five, Six, and Seven were a scrum and a half. While Breakfast All Day took their lead and never looked back, the second and third spots were hotly contested. Quiz-Team-A and Kingbeez danced in third and second, birthday guests in The Dog snuck close to the silver spot, and ODEON nearly snuck away with a big win. But in the end, after a major tie-breaker, we had our winners.
Breakfast All Day, Wildly Inconsistent, and Agents of the Zeitgeist.

The winds of change may be blowing throughout the streets of Los Angeles, but one thing remains immovable here in NoHo: Idle Hour is THE BEST place to play…KING TRIVIA!
23 teams joined us in our barrel-shaped bar for a barrel of fun, seven rounds of questions, and the tastiest cocktails this side of the 101.
Round One was simply trivia training wheels, getting our teams up to speed with the way the game is played. We had the usual tie, pumped up our players’ egos, and moved along.
Round Two was decidedly spicier as our pictures asked players to think beyond the superficial and give us the titles and names of iconic tyrants. Jake and all of his lovely friends tied with Wildly Inconsistent in first.
Round Three saw Wild take the lead by a single point, leaving Jake in second.
Round Four was simply too easy for these seasoned bingers, so no positions changed for our teams.
Our Drinking Round focused not he discovery of magnets…because why not? After a sudden-death tie breaker, Successful Beards earned the free shots…and gained a boost they sorely needed for future rounds.
Round Five certainly needed a bigger boat as our teams through our risky doubles to leap into the lead. Successful Beards, fresh off their free drink win, snatched that top spot!
Round Six asked which of teams were most familiar with the Game Show Network. As it turned out, quite a few! Beards maintained their lead, but Bad News Care Bears and Wildly Inconsistent pushed hard to take back their spots!
Round Seven came down to who watched the most Shark Week. When all was said and done, we crowned our winners. Successful Beards, Bad News Care Bears, and Wildly Inconsistent!
