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 a truth familiar to King Trivia fans everywhere:
Live by the double; die by the double.
And thus it was again this week at Golden Road Brewery in Glendale, when no fewer than TEN attempted doubles ended in tragedy.
But on a more hopeful note, our winner's circle is populated with a trio of teams that used the strategy successfully, and have the gift certificates to prove it!
See ya next week.

We made some new friends and celebrated a pair of birthdays this week at Golden Road. Steven (Birthday Babes) turned 33, but didn't look a day over 40 and Tom (The Birthday Boys) marked the occasion by leading his team to an 81 point performance, just a few points shy of the winner's circle!
That winner's circle was populated by The Bad Explainers at the top, with Hope Floats Away just one point behind and Hieroglyphic Buttjam in third. (You might ask, as I did, why would someone use buttjam to draw hieroglyphics. trust me, don't ask.
This is what they told me:

They may not have won the quiz, but certain teams won this quizmaster's heart by way of their clever team names. For example, who wouldn't be delighted by the excellent Elton John reference in Hold Me Closer, Tiny Answer?
And ya gotta love the self-deprecating humor of The Idiot Savant Minus the Savant, right?
Most intriguing of all, perhaps, is Why Did I Bring My Mom? Why Did I Bring My Mom? I mean, we were happy to have you AND your mom play with us this week, and hope you bring her again, you ungrateful child!
And yes, the aliens abducted me on the way home again this week. But this time, all they wanted to talk about was the upcoming "Friends" quiz slated for March 11th. You can read all about it HERE.
See ya next week.
