The Pub at Golden Road is a full-service, family-friendly environment located just a stone’s throw from Griffith Park in Atwater Village. Open 7 days a week, The Pub offers ample indoor and outdoor seating, over a dozen Golden Road beers on tap, and games for the young (and young at heart).
It's true of all King Trivia quizzers: once you've gotten a taste for victory, you just can't get enough! Such was the case with Gingko 1997 this week!
Fresh off their excellent 4th place finish at our Jurassic Park Special Event last week, the Gingko gang came into the sideyard patio with guns blazin' and their eyes squarely on the prize. Hence their first place finish this week at Golden Road Brewery in Glendale.
This quizmaster is a big fan of fun, unexpected team names, and we had a trio of good ones at Golden Road this week. Prince George Michael Bolton not only offered up a royally amusing team name. They also had what it takes to finish in the winner's circle, just ahead of Bustin' Out of Burbank, who may have busted out, but they didn't get far. (Glendale is right next door, after all!)
Among the other names that made us smile this week were the New Boot Goofers - which isn't as easy to say as you might think - and the Hardfart Howlers, - a name we laughed at, but aren't going to comment on.
But perhaps our favorite team name of the week found inspiration in the headlines, calling themselves I Don't Quiz, Do U? That cracked us up, though some people were not so amused - as photo #6 clearly shows. See ya next week!

Photos one and three above demonstrate an important aspect of team naming dynamic. If you're gonna call yourself "Baby at a Bar," it's important to actually have a baby at the bar! And they did!
Actually, that Baby managed to finish with a more than respectable 52 points, so we have to wonder how well they'd have done if they hadn't have had to change that diaper!!
As for Lettuce Romaine Calm (who finished right behind the Baby, I'll just say that if you carrot all, you won't use that veggie pun name again! Peas! We're begging you, peas!! Er, I mean PLEASE!
See ya next week!
