The holidays have arrived at the Bungalow! The tent is up and holiday cheer filled the rooms at this Santa Monica hot spot. 

Twelve teams joined us for trivia and all of them remained for all 7 rounds. Well, one team joined late, but stayed until the end. We love to see the dedication!

The team looking for an Alibi reigned surpreme once again from the first round. They deployed a successful double or nothing at nearly every opportunity and earned a whopping 104 points!

My 60 year old father also made his Bungalow debut. His team, comprised of his sister, my brother and my future sister in law, earned third place. Will he be coming back to cash in his $50 Bungalow gift card prize? Or should he stick to his Bungalow trucker hat? Peep the photo for some style info! 

Unfortunately, I will not be hosting at the Bungalow next week due to a conflict. I'll miss seeing my weekly players, but know the sub will surely be a delight and I can't wait to be back in two weeks! See you then!

Did you know the day before Thanksgiving is the busiest bar day of the year? Well that sure rang true at The Bungalow on Wednesday. 

We had 10 competitive teams join us for seven rounds of trivia. The questions certainly stumped some teams this week, but what better way to impress your hometown high school friends than demonstrating your intellect at local pub trivia?! 

Though the questions were teetering on the more challenging side, our teams still enjoyed the whole game. Our teams were stacked with strong competitors powered by flowing drinks to slide our players into the extended holiday weekend. 

Unlike some weeks, there wasn't a clear cut winner through most of the game as the three teams on the podium switched places many times. However, heading into round 7, a few teams double downed and ended up prevailing, bumping some front-runners off the podium and claiming the Top 3 spots. Who knew that so many teams knew the 11 countries featured at Walt Disney World's Epcott Center. 

It was a fun round of King Trivia and once we wrapped up, we cleared the furniture, brought in the DJ, set up the dance floor and boogied our way into the holiday weekend. See you next week!

We were back at the Bungalow for trivia after one week hiatus. Thirteen teams and more than 60 players filled the venue competed for an epic night of trivia.

It's amazing that more and more people are joining every week. We have the regulars and we have the newcomers, and soon the newcomers will become regulars. Everyone is really enjoying themselves each week at the bar.

It may not sound like much, but all our teams were on the board from round one. We had several successful deployment of the risky double or nothing, but of course there were some unsuccessful attempts as well. 

The group was on the edge of their seat with many questions and it was so fun to hear the room erupt as a group collectively reacted to a right answer.

 

Next week is said to be the bar's busiest night of the year so we are looking forward to a very full crowd. We hope you'll join us this week off Thanksgiving weekend! It's sure to be a great time.
