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).
"Live by the sword...Die by the sword!"
Substitute "double-or-nothing" for "sword" and you describe the dynamic in play at every King Trivia quiz. And thus explaineth the results of this week's quiz at Golden Road Brewery in Glendale.
A well-executed, perfectly timed double in the final round vaulted Florida Zee right into the winner's circle, where they enjoyed a $50 gift certificate and the admiration of their competitors.
Or perhaps it wasn't admiration we saw on the faces of A Rickles in Time, who squeezed out a second place finish by winning a tight tie-breaker with The Bad Explainers. Both teams were ahead of Rickles (RIP, Don!) going into that explosive final round. But...you know...the sword.
At the other end of the spectrum, Passover-booked got badly stung on the unsuccessful double, not once, but twice in the final two rounds to drop out of contention. Honorable mention goes out to I've Got a BRAD Feeling About This, who finished with an oh-so-close score of 79 - just 3 points shy of glory!
See y'all next week.

After a brief hiatus away from the fray, Pobody's Nerfect returned with a vengeance - and a victory - this week at Golden Road. The Sound and the Furbies were close on their heels to come in a close second.
But perhaps the most impressive performance of the night belonged to 3 Men and a Little Lady, who jumped from the middle of the pack to a strong 3rd place finish with two well-executed double-or-nothing attempts, that garnered the team 40 of their 62 points! Well done, little lady! (You too, you three men!)
Golden Road has opened up their lovely (and ROOMY) side yard area for trivia now. It's a lovely spot to spend a spring or summer evening, there's plenty of room for you and your friends, and we even have our own bar and tender!
We'll be back next week to once again engage in trivia battle. Come on out and jump right in. Look for us in the side yard. We'll be the good-looking people with all the answers!!

Is there a more beautiful, congenial, inviting place to spend a perfect southern California evening than the patio (aka "The Trivia Dome") at Golden Road Brewery in Glendale?
Okay, I made the "trivia dome" thing up. But I'm not kidding about the patio. If you're a trivia lover and haven't experienced this sublime venue yet, you really oughta give it a try.
Both the upper (covered) and lower (open air) patios were packed with players last night, on what many might call a perfect evening. Nicest people you'd ever wanna meet...(until the competition begins! Then, WATCH OUT! IT's ON!!)
It'll be on again next Tuesday at 8. Come play with us!
See ya then!
