The back bar was hand crafted using the finest materials available, and each artifact hanging on the wall was hand picked by the owner himself.

I submit my show and tell pic of the week with me and my fellow newbie senior clowns in the tale end of the 12 weeks clown college. We ar practicing skits for our April 23rd graduation.  I need to practice my balloon animals so I should start doing that pre trivia next Tuesday for the patrons. My clown name is Lucky LaLaLa to honor my Irish roots of my folks plus my love to sing. 

So we had an assortment of teams from the 3D team of the Dynmaic Denim Duo with Alyssa sporting her Almost Famous homage to Goldie Hawn's daughter. The Bats were dealing with  belfries and they won 2nd place. The bar team had Scott and Ginger answering old school by self graded napkins with their answers. Grandma's team was part human part furry friends of two owners and their big dogs on the outdoor bar.

Congratulatioms to our returning team of the coast guards. The 3D duo were tough on them for the exact correct answers. We joked about how coast guards never forget! 🙂 

I will be doing a special pre Easter raffle for some surprises for trivia players so come join us and invite your neighbors and friends. Thank you Ryan, Ginger, Kevin, Jose and the kitchen staff for another awesome night in Naples Irish style Cheers pub by the sea.

Congratulations to the three winning teams. (Alcoholligans- please get your reward on your next visit!) It was entertaining from the pre show through the final moments. Thank you to the staff for graciously handling a loud liquified "third generation Long Beach" female before the game. Whew! Wasn't the Oscars drama enough for one week?! 

We had 7 rounds of intriguing questions. The late visit by former longtime lovebirds who have since flown the coop was another theatrical adventure which we toasted in good sport no matter how many years they have been together or part. Whatever it takes to keep the trivia sideshow rolling! It is the LBC so never a dull moment.

Just six days since the Holy Grail of pub celebrations Saint Patrick's day and we have trivia warriors ready to rock! Well really what happened was unsuspecting folks in the pub were just in for their great grub and some beverages when I tempted them with leftover St. Patrick's day giveaways like drink sleeve, blinking shamrock necklaces. Lit Guinness lanyards, stickers...bribery will get you almost everywhere!

No one likes to play to non players. It would be equivalent to being in the playground with a bunch of hula hoops on the ground and no one is hula hooping. We had fun!! People stayed longer than they expected. We only had 4 teams who scored for more than 3 rows but in the beginning we had 6 teams which including the 'Party Planning Committee" and "Electroholics" who were two brothers and their Dad but they were sitting near the loud vocal woman FaceTiming her gf while sitting with her French pal and a gent while at the bar while I was saying the questions. Hello?!  God bless sub teachers or just teachers in general -what they must deal with. God bless pub staff everywhere. The patience of saints. 

We had some very interesting questions about Wrigley Field, Babe Ruth, TV celebrities, American history, potatoes, gourds, alcohol brands, John Tesh song for NFL on NBC and more. 

Thanks to the awesome staff for all their attentive service to the guests. A good time was had by all including the after trivia crowd like Troy and Dave. Life with locals. Love it!
