Boy oh boy! Bar Charlie's 3rd week of King Trivia night did not disappoint. We rounded out the night with five teams and all were mighty! There were even a few dogs in attendance. Honestly, they should have done more to contribute to their teams - I don't think any of them got an answer right, but furry cuteness has its own value, I guess... Despite having to hold up their less productive tailed members, all five teams managed to keep it in tight contention with only four points separating them all throughout most of the evening. But in the end, Always Bring Your Chuck managed to snatch a first-place prize by only three points- congrats!

Also, special shout to Nate behind the bar, who kept the drinks a flowin' and the food a comin' all night long with grace and aplomb!

Did I think Bar Charlie's 2nd King Trivia night could complete to the first? Last week we had 7 inaugural teams, and a thrilling come-from-behind finish! I arrived hoping for at least that much competition and excitement and what happened?! Week 2 we had NINE teams in the mix! Pretty much a full house, with only a few single seats here and there. Bar Charlie is the place to be Tuesday nights at 7pm! Round one started with "Team 5-1-0" jumping out to an early lead, successfully doubling round 3, and powering to a strong 9-point lead through the first 6 rounds, making it look like a runaway victory. But wait...last week, Team 5-1-0 was overtaken at the last moment and forced to settle for 2nd prize. Would that happen again? With a 9 point lead with just one round to go? "Toad from Mario Kart" wasn't giving up, staying within 8-9 points throughout the game, sitting in 2nd place. After those two, there was a gap back to a wild race for 3rd prize, back and forth between "Puerto-Rick-O Wombat", "Dad Bods & Mom Jeans", & "Charcuterie Broads". But Dads & Moms had to cut out to another prearranged gathering, leaving just the two other teams battling for 3rd. Not far behind, potentially within reach with a final round double-down, were "Astros", "Yahoo Answers", "The Kentucky Maids" and "Team Pup n Suds" (who joined in round 2, but still made it close in the end). In the end, Puerto-Rick-O Wombat held off Charcuterie Broads for 3rd, and, unbelievably, Team 5-1-0 was snakebit for a second week in a row...having to settle for 2nd prize after a stunning come-from-behind final round perfect score double-down by Toad from Mario Kart! Final score, 58-57!! Wow! What will next week bring? Don't be late!

It was First Night for King Trivia at Bar Charlie's and it was awesome! Seven teams entered the fray and stayed engaged and competitive throughout. Christian, the owner, played the perfect host, and the food and libations were tasty! Right off the bat, three teams jumped to an early lead, with "4 Square", "Always Bring Your Chuck", and "Yippie-Ki-Yay Mr. Falcon" in the mix. Beginning in round 4, "Team 5-1-0" scored a 10, a 9, and another 10, to grab the lead away, pushing the others down a spot. Meanwhile, "Naughty Biscuits", "Turtle Swimmers" and "Stop Germs" were hovering outside the top 4, waiting for their chance to pounce. In round 6, "Always Bring Your Chuck" made a bold move and doubled-down successfully for a whopping 20 points, taking the lead back with just one round to go, and holding on to scrape out a 2-point win to nab 1st prize! "Team 5-1-0" settled for 2nd, with "Yippie-Ki-Yay Mr. Falcon" edging out "4 Square" for 3rd prize. I have no doubt that Bar Charlie will become a trivia bastion in Fremont!
