It was an awesome night last night at the Thirsty Lion! We had 53 people come and ‘dine out’ with us at the Lion. Seems there was some chicanery with the specials as everyone kept coming up and telling me that their waitress’ and waiters’ all had different specials that they preferred, so the bonus point opportunities [...]

Even the wildfires around Hood River couldn’t keep Pub Quizzers away (one team had to drive an hour just to circumvent the traffic) and there was still a good turn out at the Horse and Hound this Wednesday night.
And a lucky thing too, because the topic was fun, the game was close and the win [...]

Allright… some weeks our writers get a bee in their bonnet and decide they’re going to flex their trivia muscle and challenge our good Pub Quiz Goer’s and see where they really stand…. 
Yep…. it definitely seems to be that kind of week… I thought the Beatle’s handout last night was tough… well the ‘Artifacts’ handout with nothing but [...]
