About The Slip Bar & Eatery

     At The Slip, we don't think food at a bar has to taste like bar food. In addition to delicious wings, pizza, burgers, and fries, we offer a Blue Zones certified menu with plenty of healthy and vegetarian choices.

 

        Watch the sun set over Redondo’s King Harbor and choose from over 60 hand-selected beers, plus wine and cocktails. The Slip is family-friendly and we have eight TVs so you can watch your favorite teams. We host an Open Mic every Wednesday and live music on the weekends.

 

        We’re located on the International Boardwalk of the Redondo Beach Pier right below the bike path, making us a perfect stop during a bike ride. Parking is also available in the lot at the apex of Harbor Drive and Pacific.

If you missed trivia at The Slip on the first night of 2019, you missed everything.

When your humble Quizmaster walked into the bar, ready to set up and start the show, there were five people present -- including the bartender. At the bartender's suggestion, we waited about a quarter of an hour to see if any of our regular joes and janes would cruise on in to ring in the new year -- and two people did show up! And one who was already there... left. With a solid four teams -- three teams of one person and one team of two -- we shrugged our shoulders, tossed back our beers, and hopped in!

After discussion with the bartender, we decided to award only one prize: the first-place gift certificate of $30 to The Slip. It became a fast and loose game -- lots of bold doubles, teams shouting post-round jokes, even a name change to insult a dear friend. But there could only be one winner.

In the end it was UT, Eye who took that gift certificate with 44 total points! He roared back from an unsuccessful Round 3 double with a 20-point double in Round 6. That put him just two points ahead of buddy I'm With Stupid (later Bart Has A Micropenis), who also got that 20-point double to make up for an incorrect Round 4 guess. Third place was held by Sister Shook with 33 points, whose steady scores set them up for that spot nicely. Next was Team Solo Dolo, whose titular one-man might was enough to raise up the specter of 13 total points (including "one solid point" in that first round). And, as a fun surprise, The Girl in the Back joined in for the last two rounds and scored a total of 10 points!

It honestly was a rad way to start the year, playing some face-to-face trivia with a few fun folks. Thanks for giving your Quizmaster a good Jan 1.

Greetings from the Slip Bar - Tuesday night trivia with our 4 regular teams: Mr. Poopybutthole, Tropical Heat, Jethro and Fleetwood Mac Sexpants (who plays under a few different aliases - must be trying to run/hide from the trivia authorities!). We had 2 new teams, one of which that registered tonight (Squiggle) and the 3 30 Year Olds - all vying for some Slip cash - top prize $30 tonight!

Definitely a bit of Christmas/Holiday themed questions to pose to our contestants and they were up for the challenge! Interestingly, not 1 successful double all night long and only 1 double was tried - in a late attempt to catch up to the leaders.

Fleetwood Mac Sexpants jumped to an early lead and enjoyed a solid night, falling 1 point short in the end. Jethro and Tropical Heat applied pressure all night long, ultimately vying for 3rd place (which went to Tropical Heat after a 7 point 7th round). Fleetwood's 8 point 7th round was the 1st answer sheet in and looked good enough for the win. Yet, Mr. Poopybutthole scored a final round 9 to take the night with a 1 point win. Congrats to all winners and thanks to all players. See you soon!

After a week away, it was lovely to be back with The Slip's tight-knit group of teams again! A big birthday party stretched across the middle tables provided a hot competition for the top spot. So hot, in fact, that it ended in a dead heat! And the next teams down were also exactly tied! A photo finish -- but there can only be one winner.

In the end, it was We Like to Come From Behind who went home with first place! Their tiebreaker guess clinched their 58-point victory after maintaining a narrow lead throughout the game. Next up was I Thought This Was Speed Dating, also at 58 points! They barely trailed their foes and managed to come within breathing distance of that first prize. Third place was scored by Mr. Poopybutthole, whose 46 points were cemented by the evening's most accurate tiebreaker guess. Honorable mention goes to Bird is the Word, who also scored those 46 but couldn't quite figure L.A.'s 1900 population. Well done, all teams!
