Another fantastic night of trivia at Uptown HopHouse!
Returning champs, A Team Has No Name, started the night off strong and never looked back. They didn't even need a double-or-nothing to take the title this week!
Our second place finishers #PugLife didn't take home this week's trivia title, but they did win for having the cutest doggo in the bar!
As a reminder, we are taking Aug. 29 off for the kickoff of the college football season. But, we'll be back at 7 pm on Thursday, Sept. 5. See you then!

Uptown Hophouse kept it real spicy this Thursday, with some hotly contested answers and at least one invocation of Rule #3: The Quizmaster is Always Right.
Hophouse regs A Team Has no Name took a commanding lead from the get-go and never gave it up, ending the game in 1st place and a cool 10 points ahead of second-place finishers Money Dance.
Money Dance chose to forfeit their prize and handed it over to Chidee Thappar, who put up a fight all evening and came in at a very close third.
Further on down the leaderboard, Astro in da House gave Chidee Thappar and Money Dance a run for the money, almost squeaking out a third-place finish in the second-to-last round.
Previous week winners Queen Anne's Finest took home the (highly subjective, highly unofficial) prize for 'most entertaining,' although they were never successful in stealing the Quizmaster's mic. Nice try, guys.
Girls on Top, Slugfish, and Inflammable means Flammable all put up a spirited fight. This bar has some strong contenders -- it's no doubt that it's anyone's game next week.
In the words of the classicist poets Journey: some will win, some will lose. Who will it be next Thursday? Come on down to the Uptown Hophouse at 7pm to find out!
Great beer, great doggos, and great trivia at the UPTOWN HOPHOUSE this week (and every week)!
Returning champions, A Team Has No Name hit the ground running scoring 5 points in Round 1. But the other teams weren't far behind.
In Round 2, Team Threeve gained some ground getting 7 points for correctly naming all but one of the animated cars.
But when it came to knowing all things "Yellow", A Team Has No Name struck back with a perfect score, padding their lead over the field.
As ever, Round 4 proved to be a bit of a heartbreaker. Team Threeve thought they had it, and submitted their answer right after the 10-point clue. But, they should have hung back with the other teams who waited for more information. The "Guess What?" this week was Starbucks - not Apple - and that cost Team Threeve a point. But, A Team Has No Name and Money Dance snagged 6 points and Sail All Stars took 4 points.
Round 5 can also be tricky, but this week it was almost too tough for our teams. Sail All Stars could only manage one correct answer, while Money Dance was just a smidge better with 2 correct answers.
Round 6 saw our teams bounce back with teams doing a great job of matching the correct "20s" to their historical event.
In our final round, scores were close with just 8 points between first and last place. To end the game, teams needed to name all "big-5" (men's) professional sports teams that call the state of Pennsylvania home. Our teams quickly jotted down the NBA, NHL, NFL and MLB teams in Pittsburgh and Philly, but it was the name of Philadelphia's Major League Soccer team proved to be decider.
In the end, A Team Has No Name took home the top prize with a total of 52 points. Sail All Stars came from behind to finish in 2nd with 40 points. And Money Dance took 3rd with 29 points.
Really glad I was able to fill in and experience a game at UPTOWN HOPHOUSE. They have a great beer selection and the food coming from the kitchen smells AMAZING!!!! Join us next week for another game - Thursday @ 7:00 PM!
