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).
We made a few new friends this week at Golden Road Brewery, with a first-time team winning big with an impressive 63-point, first-place performance! Congratulations, Single Stitch! (photo #2) Well done!
The team that finished in the #2 position - Mike Pence None The Richer (photo #1) - found themselves with a very "King Trivia" dilemma at the end of the quiz. After leading all scoring throughout the night, they opted not to double on their Round 7 answer sheet.
"No double this time?" the quizmaster inquired.
"Well, I wanted to," team VP Matt said with regret. "But (team leader) Amy is unsure about one answer and decided not to," he explained.
She needn't have been concerned, as all ten answers were correct. But the decision to not double cost 'em 10 points and opened the door for the Single Stitchers to squeak by for the win. No word yet from Amy about how the view is from under the bus. (Nice throw, Matt!)
Third place finisher Happy Brad Day (photos 6 & 7) also had a good night, with new team member Nicole using the occasion to celebrate her birthday on the side yard patio with a third place win! Well done, Brad team members!
That's Nicole on the right in photo #7. Happy birthday, Nicole! You ROCK!!
See ya next week.

Yes, friends, we are BACK from the annual month-long holiday hiatus at Golden Road Brewery in Glendale, and it was great to see so many familiar faces last night, flush with excitement and ready to take on a new year's worth of King Trivia challenges.
As I have said many times in these recaps, I do so love a zeitgeisty, of-the-moment, pop-culturally aware team name, and you did not let me down! Oh know, you did knot!
Let's start with Judy Dench's Undercarriage! Okay, maybe we should start AND stop right there. I ain't gonna say 'nuthin' about that, except to say it should have been DAME Judy Dench's Undercarriage, right!? I mean, show some respect to Dame Judy. Especially when discussing her undercarriage.
Hindsight is 2019 demonstrated a fine sense of wordplay (and math skills) with their delightful new year moniker. This team usually plays as Trivial Times at the Golden Road. But they were downright visionary with this clever group sobriquet.
And finally, a tip of the cuticle to last night's drinking round winners, Soleimani-Pedi. In these dark times, it's good to find the funny in every situation, and you did, guys. You really did!
Hey! If you haven't done so already, now is the time to register your team for the next session of league play. If your team already has a five-digit ID number, don't fret. You're already registered. But if you don't have a team number just yet, the time to get one is NOW. It's free! It's fun! And ya never know, you just might make it to the big tournament!
How do you register your team, you ask? Oh pishaw! it's soooo easy! See that tab over there on the side of the screen that says "CREATE TEAM"? Click that tab, and we'll walk you through the process. It's quick, and you really, really wanna be a part of King Trivia 2020 League Play.
See y'all next week.
